Cargo routing analytics optimizes transportation pathways through data analysis and algorithmic modeling. Freight forwarders and logistics managers use predictive analytics to forecast delays and prescriptive systems to recommend specific routes, balancing costs, transit times, capacity utilization, and real-time traffic conditions. In practice, these systems reduce shipping costs by 5–15 % and improve delivery reliability. Unlike rule-based route planning, analytics-driven approaches continuously learn from historical data and adapt to changing market and operational conditions.
