Main Tab: Quick View – Statements of Account (SOA) Dashboard
Overview: This dashboard allows the users to see their Statements of Account for Ship Watchers. Users can download the Statements of Account and details for exportable needs. It will also allow the users to see real time savings on the account as the adjustments are recorded from the carrier. Please remember that some adjustments take additional time for the carrier to review.
SOA Stands for Statement of Account.
New Accounts: When you start with us, Service Failures will be the first thing you will be seeing for adjustments as our network reviews your past shipping data, our agents then also review your data and then our network will begin a “Back Dated” audit of your shipping. These results from the “Back Dated” audit (if any found) should reflect in your 2nd and 3rd Statement of Account with us. This is to also prevent abuse of our network with clients wanting just the back dated audit and not compensating Ship Watchers for the work completed.
To Use: This dashboard is pretty self-explanatory for users.
Year to Date Savings (YEAR) Graph
This graph will show current savings within a 12 month period of your account being with Ship Watchers. These are savings per month based on the when the adjustment was credited. Example: FedEx adjustments usually occur to the invoice number and date the shipment originated on. UPS will credit the next invoice date for the credit placed.
You can hover over the bar charts to see more on the data.
Monthly totals are located below the graph in savings for a quick view.
