[05.18] What anomaly detection means in a shipping context. \u201cIt\u2019s having the systems and models in place to understand what that baseline looks like so you\u2019re able to detect surges, whether they\u2019re up or down, before they snowball.\u201d [06.30] Why anomaly detection is such a challenge, and the impact early anomaly detection could have for businesses. \u201cWhen we\u2019re talking about hundreds of thousands of packages shipped on a monthly basis, a lot of times anomalies are hidden between the averages\u2026 But that 1% can scale and turn into losses in profit margin or customer satisfaction \u2013 so it\u2019s really important to catch them early.\u201d [08.08] The vast amounts of data involved in large volume shipping, why \u2018you don\u2019t know what you don\u2019t know,\u2019 and the importance of automation to identify problems early. \u201cTeams can\u2019t manually audit every invoice that comes through, especially if they\u2019re a large volume shipper\u2026 And a lot of issues aren\u2019t obvious. So, without any type of automation, they\u2019re really hard to catch.\u201d \u201cEarly anomaly detection expands your visibility into those 'unknown unknowns'.\u201d [09.46] Real-world examples of hidden anomalies that could impact your business.
