About the operation

Everyone in this industry quotes an on-time percentage. Very few will tell you what happened to the shipments in the remainder, which is the only part of the number that has ever mattered to a customer waiting on one.

Northlane was built around publishing the remainder. Three hubs and several thousand accounts later, the exception report is still the thing we'd point at first if you asked what we actually sell.

Logged, not remembered

Every movement has a reference number and a timestamp.

Same-day exceptions

Problems get flagged the day they happen, not at reconciliation.

Disclosed, not hidden

Subcontracted lanes and limits are stated upfront, in the quote.
