How does delivery forecast work?

The estimated delivery date forecast (EDD) is one of our AI-powered features, either calculated directly from our shipments history data lake or provided by the carrier for more accurate results.

When the delivery forecast is not directly provided by the carrier, we leverage our data lake to automatically calculate the forecast. This dynamic calculation takes into account the tracking updates received, which can lead to adjustments in the forecast over time. As new tracking information becomes available, the delivery forecast may either extend or shorten accordingly to provide the most accurate estimation for the shipment's delivery timeline.
