Dynamic User Defined Data Views
Another great feature of VFB is to give the user the ability to create dynamic user defined data views. Take advantage of your own business intelligence by arranging different data elements from the system into meaningful and useful information. Select from 70+ different data elements and arrange them in relevant order. Some data elements allow for on the fly updates to the system and others create item templates which combine several relevant data fields into a single meaningful element. Create as many views as necessary and switch between them on the fly. Combined with extensive filtering this gives the user unmatched visibility into the data on the system. Each user can have an unlimited set of their own views that are relevant to their needs.
Mining Your Data
Having access to your shipment history and mining it can prove to be one of the most powerful benefits of VFB. With a few clicks a user can mine current and prior shipments to uncover important trends in shipping patterns. Use the dynamic user defined views in conjunction with data mining to shape your data into almost unlimited patterns.
Let’s talk about using data mining in a day-to-day practical application. A customer has just given you a shipment and now you need to find a carrier to move it. By mining the data using the dynamic user defined data views and extensive filtering the user can uncover carriers that have moved similar shipments in the past. Now sort the shipments by date to get the most recent carrier along with their contact information. By also displaying profit and loss the user can target the carrier where the most profit can be made.
