Ternovia Freight is a fictional mid-market third-party logistics provider used for synthetic BI analysis. The company story is designed around shipment performance, carrier reliability, warehouse inventory readiness, exception management, and cost-to-serve tradeoffs.
Operating Profile
- Manages about 125,000 customer shipments, with revenue, carrier cost, accessorial exposure, claims, and gross margin at shipment grain.
- Each facility stocks a defined SKU assortment, and every stocked pair carries a daily snapshot, so on-hand and days of supply form continuous series.
- Every shipment carries a quoted transit and delivery date, and on-time results are the actual dates against those quotes.
- Freight still moving at the closing snapshot stays open with no on-time result, so open shipments are never counted late.
- Premium service levels are quoted tighter, move faster, and post the highest on-time rates; recovery work runs late and carries the exception load.
- Excludes live telematics, fleet maintenance, labor scheduling, customs filings, ledger detail, and parcel last-mile tracking.
Recent Business Events
- 1Peak-season commitments grew faster than the carrier base, raising the weight of acceptance, on-time delivery, and exception tracking.
- 2Several facilities expanded forward-stock programs, adding pressure on allocation and days-of-supply dashboards.
- 3Leadership now reviews cost-to-serve by customer segment, lane, service level, and carrier tier before renewing key contracts.
These are the operating questions this kit is optimized to answer first.
On-time pickup and delivery rates, transit days, and delay hours by lane

Embedded Analytical Stories
Service tiers
Premium levels show tighter delay control and higher margins while recovery work carries the exception burden.
Lane-level truth
Some carriers look strong overall while still struggling on specific lanes or facilities.
Inventory to service
Warehouse inventory risk connects to downstream shipment readiness and service exceptions.
Profitability surprise
High-volume customers are not automatically the most profitable after accessorials and claims.
Peak pressure
Cover days rise ahead of peak, so inventory builds a month before the freight does and pickup reliability slips first.
Lane mix
Most freight runs routine and appointment-sensitive lanes, with congested and recovery-prone lanes a working minority.
