# Shipment Visibility

#### Know where every shipment is, from supplier to warehouse.

## Complete Operational  Visibility from Day One

Limited logistics visibility is the biggest cause of operational inefficiencies in supply chain.

Without good shipment data, the only ways to avoid angry customers and a damaged reputation are excessive buffer inventory and costly expedites. But inconsistent data from partners and 3PLs make it impossible to optimize staffing levels and ensure product availability for sales opportunities.

With Unity SCM, it's easy to consolidate container tracking data, enrich it with purchase orders and inventory information, and share this single accurate view with any system. All without the need for lengthy deployments or dedicated IT resources.
