What’s Inside the Logistics Dashboard in Google Sheets
Overview Page
The Overview page is the executive summary tab. It shows Total Shipments, Total Freight Cost, On-Time Delivery, and Avg Transit Days at the top, then uses slicers and charts for fast logistics review.
Freight Cost and Shipment Volume by Month: This chart compares monthly freight cost with shipment count. It helps you see whether spend is rising because of shipment growth or cost pressure.
Shipment Share by Transport Mode: This chart breaks shipments across road, air, rail, sea, or other modes. It helps teams understand how freight volume is distributed by transport type.
Freight Cost by Region: This chart compares logistics spend by region. It helps identify regions that need carrier review, routing changes, or freight-cost investigation.
Shipment Analysis
The Shipment Analysis tab focuses on shipment movement and volume. It helps operations teams compare monthly volume, transport mode, carrier workload, total shipped weight, and regional shipment contribution.
Shipment Volume by Month and Mode: This chart shows shipment counts over time by transport mode. It helps you spot mode shifts, seasonal volume changes, and capacity pressure.
Total Weight Shipped by Carrier: This chart compares how much weight each carrier handled. It helps review workload distribution and identify carriers carrying the heaviest freight.
Shipments by Region: This chart summarizes shipment volume by region. It helps managers see which markets, branches, or zones drive the most logistics activity.
Freight Cost Analysis
The Freight Cost Analysis tab is built for cost control. It separates freight spend by month, transport mode, and carrier so finance and logistics teams can review cost drivers clearly.
Freight Cost by Month: This chart shows monthly freight spend. It helps identify cost spikes, seasonal peaks, or months that need deeper audit.
Freight Cost by Mode: This chart compares spend across transport modes. It helps reveal whether air, road, rail, sea, or mixed modes are driving cost.
Freight Cost by Carrier: This chart ranks carrier-level freight cost. It helps teams compare partners and prepare data-backed contract discussions.
Carrier Performance
The Carrier Performance tab helps you evaluate how carriers handle workload, shipment status, and average transit time. It is useful for monthly carrier scorecards and vendor review meetings.
Shipment Status Mix by Carrier: This chart compares delivery, in-transit, delayed, or other status outcomes by carrier. It helps identify carriers with reliability or follow-up issues.
Shipments Handled by Carrier: This chart compares shipment volume by carrier. It helps show dependency on specific carriers and workload balance.
Average Transit Days by Carrier: This chart compares average transit time across carriers. It helps choose partners based on speed as well as cost.
Delivery Performance
The Delivery Performance tab tracks whether shipments are arriving on time and how transit days vary by month, status, and region. It helps teams turn delivery issues into visible metrics.
On-Time Deliveries and Total Shipments by Month: This chart compares total shipment volume with on-time deliveries. It helps measure whether delivery quality is keeping pace with volume.
Shipments by Status: This chart breaks shipments by status. It helps managers see open, delayed, completed, or exception records quickly.
Average Transit Days by Region: This chart compares transit speed by region. It helps identify lanes or zones where shipments take longer than expected.
Search Sheet Tab
The Search Sheet is the Shipment Lookup tab. Select a Shipment ID and the sheet returns matching shipment details such as date, region, origin, destination, carrier, mode, shipment type, status, weight, and distance.
Data Sheet Tab
The Data Sheet is the input table for the dashboard. Add or paste your shipment records in the same format so KPI cards, charts, slicers, and the Shipment Lookup tab continue to work correctly.

Who This Template Is For – and Who It’s Not For
This template is for logistics managers, supply chain analysts, freight coordinators, warehouse teams, 3PL operators, transportation planners, and finance teams that need a quick reporting layer for shipment cost, volume, carrier performance, delivery status, and regional transit time.
It is not a live GPS tracker, carrier API connector, route optimizer, warehouse management system, or enterprise TMS. If you need automated carrier booking, driver mobile workflows, EDI, proof-of-delivery capture, or live tracking feeds, use this dashboard as an analysis layer after exporting approved shipment data.

Meera, logistics manager: reviews Total Freight Cost and On-Time Delivery every Monday, then opens Carrier Performance to see which carriers need follow-up.
