Shippers
6 shippers, 72 loads, 8 critical fields per load. Select a shipper to see its mismatched fields.
Needs a person
Fields where the tender itself contradicts the rep's record. They are left out of the match rate until someone settles them.
Rules
- A field matches when both values are equal after trimming spaces, ignoring case and writing dates and times one way; units are not converted, so a weight in kilograms fails.
- Eight fields are critical (reference, pickup facility, delivery facility, pickup date, pickup appointment, delivery appointment, weight and stops), which makes 8 per load and 96 per shipper; commodity text counts only when the toggle is on.
- A field the tender shows the rep got wrong is disputed, left out of the rate and listed under Needs a person.
- A shipper's match rate is its matched critical fields divided by its compared critical fields.
- Ready to skip review means the rate is at or above the bar, at least 10 loads were seen and no mismatch type appears twice.
- Needs a config rule means the mismatches that repeat are all types that can be fixed in setup.
- Keep in review covers everything else, and the reason column says why.
Assumptions
- All data is synthetic. Every shipper, facility, reference number and load is made up.
- The rep's record is the answer key, except where the tender shows the rep was wrong; those fields go to a person instead of counting against the agent.
- Each load has 10 fields: reference/PO, pickup facility, pickup date, pickup appointment, delivery facility, delivery appointment, equipment, weight, stops and commodity. Equipment is recorded but not scored.
- The TMS keeps times in Central. Values are shown exactly as stored; the comparison ignores case and format, not meaning.
- The bar is the share of critical fields the agent must get right before a shipper's orders stop going through human review.
- A shipper needs at least 10 loads in the shadow run before it can be judged ready.
- Mismatch types come from simple checks, listed below. "Fixable in setup" means a deployment config rule can fix it without a product change.
| Mismatch type | How it is spotted | Fixable in setup |

Questions I'd want answered
- Do new accounts run a shadow period where reps still key orders, or do you compare against the TMS afterwards?
- Is go-live decided per shipper, per customer or per field?
- What match rate takes a shipper off review, and is the bar higher for appointment times than for reference numbers?
- When the rep's record and the tender disagree, who settles it?
- Which fixes happen in configuration during deployment, and which go back to Engineering?
