Real-time fleet visibility for 40,000 daily shipments

Orbital's ops team tracked shipments across nine carrier APIs by manually checking each one. Delays were often discovered by the customer before Orbital knew about them.

We built a unified ingestion layer that normalized all nine carrier feeds into one event stream, then layered a real-time dashboard on top with anomaly detection for shipments trending toward a missed window — surfacing problems hours before the old process would have.

Delay detection time dropped by 71%, manual status-checking work fell by 90%, and on-time delivery rate improved by 12 points in the first full quarter after launch.
