Real-Time Visibility Across Your Logistics Network

Knowi connects to GPS and telematics data sources via REST APIs, MQTT brokers, or direct database connections (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch). You build a dashboard that plots vehicle locations, speed, idle time, and route adherence on a map or grid view with refresh intervals as low as every few seconds. Cross-source joins let you overlay fleet data with carrier status updates and WMS dispatch records in the same dashboard — no data warehouse required.

Knowi's cross-source join engine connects to your TMS, WMS, ERP, carrier APIs, and IoT sensor feeds simultaneously and blends them in a single query. This means you can track an order from purchase through warehouse pick-pack-ship to final delivery in one dashboard, without building an ETL pipeline or centralizing everything in a data warehouse first. Most BI tools like Tableau or Power BI require all data in one source before you can join it — Knowi does not.

Connect Knowi directly to your WMS database (SAP EWM, Manhattan, Oracle WMS, or any system backed by SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB) and build dashboards that track pick rate per hour, pack accuracy, dock-to-stock time, order cycle time, and inventory accuracy by zone. Set threshold alerts to notify warehouse managers when throughput drops below target or error rates spike. Knowi's natural language query feature lets supervisors ask questions like "show me pick rates by shift this week" without SQL.

Knowi lets you define threshold-based and anomaly-based alert rules on any metric. For delivery SLA monitoring, you set a rule like "alert when on-time delivery rate for carrier X drops below 95% in the last 24 hours." Alerts fire to Slack, email, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or any webhook endpoint. Each alert includes the full data context — which shipments were late, which carrier, which origin-destination lane — so your operations team can act immediately instead of digging through reports.

Knowi pulls data from multiple carrier APIs (FedEx, UPS, DHL, regional carriers) and your TMS into a single scorecard dashboard. You can compare on-time delivery percentage, average transit time, damage claim rate, cost-per-shipment, and cost-per-pound across carriers, lanes, and service levels. These scorecards update automatically on a scheduled refresh, giving procurement and operations teams current data for rate negotiations and carrier allocation decisions.

Knowi is an analytics and visualization platform, not a route optimization engine, but it provides the data foundation that makes optimization possible. You can analyze historical route data — actual vs. planned transit times, fuel consumption by route, delivery density by zone, and driver performance patterns — to identify which lanes are underperforming. These insights feed into dedicated route optimization tools or help operations managers make manual adjustments to dispatch plans.

Knowi connects directly to the databases behind ERP and TMS platforms — Oracle, SAP HANA, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. It also supports REST API connections for cloud-based logistics platforms like project44, FourKites, or BluJay. You do not need to export data or build middleware. Knowi queries these systems at scheduled intervals and can join data across them in a single query, so your ERP financial data sits next to your TMS shipment data in the same dashboard.

Knowi differs from Tableau and Power BI in three ways that matter for logistics. First, Knowi joins data across different databases and APIs at query time — you do not need to centralize TMS, WMS, and carrier data into a single warehouse before building dashboards. Second, Knowi natively queries NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Elasticsearch, which many modern TMS and IoT platforms use, without requiring you to flatten data into relational tables. Third, Knowi includes built-in anomaly detection and threshold alerting, so you can monitor SLA breaches without adding a separate alerting tool.

Yes. Knowi supports iFrame, JavaScript SDK, and encrypted URL embedding with full white-label customization. Row-level security ensures each customer sees only their own shipment tracking, delivery SLA metrics, and billing data. SSO integration (SAML, OAuth, JWT) means customers log in through your portal without separate credentials. Unlike Tableau Embedded or Power BI Embedded, Knowi does not charge per-viewer fees, which keeps costs predictable for 3PL and freight broker portals with hundreds of customer logins.
