What types of reports are commonly used to measure OTIF performance in AscendTMS?

• A. OTIF by lane, carrier performance, exception reports, ETA accuracy and dwell time reports.
• B. Delivery times by region only.
• C. Insurance claims reports.
• D. Stock level reports.

Answer: (A)

OTIF stands for On-Time In-Full, and measuring it in a TMS requires several complementary reports. OTIF by lane breaks out performance for each transportation lane, helping you see which routes consistently meet or miss targets. Carrier performance reports evaluate how individual carriers perform across the network, guiding carrier selection and contract decisions. Exception reports surface deviations from planned delivery, such as late arrivals, early arrivals, split shipments, or missing documentation, so root causes can be addressed quickly. ETA accuracy assesses how closely actual delivery times match the promised ETA, informing planning reliability. Dwell time reports track how long shipments sit at origin or destination facilities, which can impact on-time delivery and full receipt. Together, these reports give a full picture of OTIF performance.

Other report types like delivery times by region alone miss lane-level and carrier context; insurance claims focus on risk rather than delivery timing in full; stock level reports relate to inventory, not transport performance. Therefore, the listed set is the standard for OTIF measurement in AscendTMS.
