Bad news early is good news
Margins drop quietly — an FX move here, a surprise surcharge there. Alerts flag the drift while the shipment is still on the water and you can still act.
IN PRACTICE
A margin problem, caught before it lands
An expected margin, a new cost that broke it, flagged with the exact line responsible — weeks before the container reaches the port.

Find out on the water, not at the warehouse.
A margin that dies at sea can still be saved — reprice, re-quote or redirect before the container lands. One that dies in your warehouse is just a loss with a receipt.
