Transport and delivery: Operations dashboard for archive relocation companies
An operations dashboard for archive relocation companies that shows missing boxes per handover, registration backlog and overrunning phases, with the relocation list and crew behind every figure.
Which figures archive relocation companies really need.
The director of an archive relocation business wants to know which moves are going well and where things go wrong. In practice they only hear about it when a client calls about a box nobody can find. Missing boxes are resolved job by job and then drop out of sight, so nobody notices that they tend to occur at the same kind of handover, for instance with interim storage or rooms without labels. Registration work that consistently takes longer than budgeted also stays hidden in the final costing. Without fixed definitions and without the job cards alongside, every conversation about quality becomes a conversation about gut feeling.

Agree definitions first
First you agree what counts as a missing box: not scanned at re-shelving, or only found after a search. You also define what a handover is, such as from packing crew to lorry or from lorry to new room, and when a phase counts as overrun. Without those agreements a number means nothing.
Connect job cards and schedule
The dashboard reads scans and sign-offs from the job cards, planned and actual duration from the schedule and budgeted registration from the quote. That produces, per handover and per phase, a picture of what was planned and what actually happened on the day.
Trace deviations to the source
If the director sees that boxes go missing more often at a certain type of handover, they click through to the phases, the crew and the reports involved. It might turn out that boxes mainly go missing in rooms where labelling happened on the spot. That leads to a concrete change in method or in quoting.
Figures from your own work.
Reports are currently compiled by hand from spreadsheets, or not at all. The dashboard uses data that job cards, schedules and quotes already record and adds no extra input. The operations manager owns the definitions; the crew leaders own what goes into the job card. Revenue and payments sit in invoicing and the VAT overview; the dashboard is about how the work is carried out.
Per job or per handover type
An overview per job helps the project lead during a live move. An overview per handover type or archive type reveals patterns across jobs. For improvement the second is more valuable; for daily control the first. The dashboard starts with whatever you want to change first.
Comparing crews or improving methods
An overview per crew can help, but quickly breeds a blame culture in which problems go unreported. Looking at methods, such as labelling on the spot versus in advance, often achieves more. When crews see that reporting leads to better ways of working, they report sooner and more openly.
Reviewing afterwards or alerting during the move
A monthly overview is enough to spot patterns. During a large move, an alert about an open difference at the end of a phase can stop the client discovering it later. That only works if the crew leader signs off the phase straight away, not at the end of the week.

Read the storyWhich figures we put on the dashboard.
Missing boxes per handover, overrunning phases and registration work against the quote: the dashboard shows it, with click-through to phase, crew and report. What counts as missing or overrun is agreed with you at the start. Using data from an ordinary move, and from a move where boxes only turned up after a search, we check together whether the picture is right. Alerts during live phases, comparisons per archive type and a per-job report for the client are switched on later.

Explore pricing and optionsDoes this mean extra admin for us?
No, as long as job cards and the schedule are used. The dashboard works with what crews already scan and sign off. Where data is missing, it shows that rather than estimating, so you know which recording is not yet working well.
Can we give clients a report on their move?
Yes, an overview per job with counted boxes, deviations and how they were resolved can go to the client as a report. The internal dashboard with comparisons between jobs stays internal, so no data from other clients is shared.
What if a box turns up later after all?
It is then reported as found in the job card, along with where it was. The dashboard counts it as found after a search, no longer as missing. It stays visible that something went wrong at the handover, while the client knows the box is safe.
Who decides which deviations matter?
The operations manager, together with management. They set the definitions and choose which deviations deserve an alert. Those choices are visible in the dashboard, so everyone knows how a figure comes about. When the definitions change, the history shows from which date.

- Website for archive relocation companiesA website for archive relocation companies that explains what happens to files, filing schemes and retrieval locations, so a records manager knows which service fits their archive before the first conversation.
- Enquiry form for archive relocation companiesAn enquiry form for archive relocation companies that asks for box counts, filing scheme and access needs, so a site survey can be prepared properly instead of starting blind.
