Let’s understand the shipment analytics of AfterShip:

Customizable filters to slice and dice reports




Created at: It will be selected by default, which means you’ll see shipments that you’ve created in your AfterShip account. You can switch to Ordered at and Picked up at

Date range: Define the period for which you check the on-time shipment data
Country: Select origin (from where shipments are dispatched) and destination (where shipments are meant to be delivered) countries for more precise results
Carrier/Service: Select the couriers and services for which you would like to view the shipment delivery time data

A status bar to quickly check the progress of your shipments



Right after the filters, you will see a status bar that tells you about shipping performance. It has key metrics to offer you valuable insights. Here's how it looks:



Total shipment: It shows the percentage of imported shipments that AfterShip can track (excludes pending and expired shipments)
Non-delivered: It shows the percentage of shipments that are not delivered to its intended address and recipient. It gets calculated with this formula:

(Total number of non-delivered shipments / Total number of shipments tracked) *100

Delivered: It shows the percentage of delivered shipments. It gets calculated with this formula:

(Total number of delivered shipments / Total number of shipments tracked) *100

Exception: It shows the percentage of shipments with an exception history. It gets calculated with this formula:

(Total number of exception shipments / Total number of shipments tracked) *100
