Chainomics turns your shipment portfolio into a live risk-scored roster. Import loads via CSV, PDF document extraction, or direct TMS integration; each shipment receives a 0–100 disruption probability score with the primary risk driver identified in plain English. Critical-risk loads are surfaced automatically for human-in-the-loop triage. This page covers the three import methods, the risk scoring model, the calendar view and triage workflow, and the public Shipment Operations Dashboard available without sign-up.
The public Shipment Operations Dashboard at /shipment-dashboard is free and requires no account. It displays a sample portfolio with live disruption overlays, animated transit routes, and per-shipment AI intelligence. Sign in to replace the sample data with your own shipments.

​
Import your shipments

Upload a CSV file from the Shipments page (/shipments-new) using the Upload CSV button or by dragging a file onto the drop zone.Smart column mapping automatically matches your column headers to the expected schema using common aliases. For example, origin, from, and origin city all map to the pickup_city field. Required columns are:
Your column (any alias)Maps to
shipmentID / id / loadIDShipment identifier
origin city / origin / fromPickup city
destination city / dest / toDrop-off city
pickup_date / date of pick upPickup date
delivery_date / date of deliveryDelivery date
customer_id / customerCustomer identifier
After a successful upload, the import count is confirmed and shipments appear immediately in the list. Download a sample CSV from the page header to see the expected format before uploading your own data.
If your account is new and you haven’t imported any shipments yet, Chainomics automatically seeds 10 sample shipments so you can evaluate risk scoring and the dashboard without uploading real data. Sample shipments cover representative US lanes: LA→Chicago, Houston→Miami, Laredo→Dallas, and others. Remove them at any time using the Clear or individual delete controls.

​
How shipment risk scoring works

After importing, run risk analysis by clicking Analyze All Risks (bulk) or the risk icon on any individual row. The risk engine:
  1. Geocodes the origin and destination cities
  2. Queries active signals (weather, border waits, port congestion, labor strikes, political events, carrier data) that intersect the shipment’s route and time window
  3. Returns a disruption probability (0–100), a risk level (Low / Medium / High / Critical), and a primary risk identified in plain English
  4. Stores the risk result so scores are instantly visible on next page load
The risk explanation is a short natural-language sentence—for example: “High border congestion at Laredo (47 min above median) is likely to delay delivery by 4–6 hours.” This explanation appears in the shipment detail panel and in any email alert triggered by the Shipment Disruption Agent.

Import workflow

1

Navigate to Shipments

Open Shipments from the sidebar (or go to /shipments-new). The page shows your current portfolio with summary stats: Total, In Transit, Delayed, and Delivered.
2

Import your data

Choose your import method:
  • Click Upload CSV and select your file, or drag it onto the page
  • Use the Sample CSV button to download a template first
  • For TMS sync, configure the integration from TMS Integrations before returning here
Imported shipments appear in the list immediately after processing.
3

Run risk analysis

Click Analyze All Risks to score your entire portfolio in batches of 20 shipments. A progress indicator shows done/total as batches complete. For individual shipments, click the risk icon (⚠) in the Actions column.After analysis, each row shows a colored risk badge (Critical / High / Medium / Low) and a disruption probability percentage.
4

Review results on the map

Switch to the Shipment Routes overview map above the table. Route lines are color-coded by risk level: red (Critical), orange (High), yellow (Medium), green (Low), blue (In Transit). Click any route or marker to open the shipment detail panel with the full risk explanation and a per-shipment route map.
5

Triage critical-risk loads

Critical and High-risk shipments surface at the top of the triage queue. From the detail panel, review the primary risk, explanation, and coordinates. Use the Send Alert button on any High or Critical shipment to dispatch an email notification—this is the human-in-the-loop escalation step, and nothing sends automatically without your action.

​
Calendar view with collision highlighting

The Shipment Operations Dashboard (/shipment-dashboard) includes a calendar view that plots shipments by pickup and delivery date. When multiple shipments share the same lane or carrier on overlapping dates, the calendar highlights the collision so you can identify scheduling conflicts before they become delivery problems.

​
Shipment triage workflow

Critical-risk loads are not acted on automatically. Chainomics surfaces them and prepares the information; your team decides what to do. The triage workflow is:
  1. Identify: Critical and High loads rise to the top of the sorted list
  2. Inspect: Click any load to read the risk explanation and see the route on the map
  3. Escalate: Click Send Alert to email the flagged shipment details to the relevant stakeholder
  4. Resolve: Once addressed, the shipment’s risk score updates on the next analysis run
This human-in-the-loop model ensures that no reroutes, re-tenders, or customer communications go out without an approval step.
