What is the best way to send monthly logistics reports to customers?
A clear way to send monthly logistics reports to customers is to calculate each customer's indicators — deliveries, OTIF, claims, waiting times, costs —, add comments on causes and improvement actions, share the report through restricted access or documents, and review it in a regular meeting.
In Jestor, deliveries, claims, and customers are connected, so reports are ready without manual work.
Why do customers value reports?
Customers want to know how their logistics performs. Without reports, they rely on complaints and impressions.
Carriers that report proactively are seen as partners, not suppliers.
What problems do customer reports solve?
- Relationships based on impressions
- Manual report preparation
- No shared view of problems
- Weak contract renewals
- Improvement actions unclear

How do you get the team on board?
Account managers spend less time collecting data and more time discussing improvements with customers.
What results can you expect?
Stronger relationships, smoother renewals, and joint improvements such as shorter dock waits. Reports also reveal opportunities for new services that customers may need.
Reports can also include a short section with upcoming changes, such as new routes or holiday schedules, which helps customers plan their own operations and avoids surprises. A short survey after each meeting also helps improve the report.
This is how you send monthly logistics reports to customers and become a trusted partner.
