Logistics Support Ticket Overview

Logistics Support Ticket Overview

This dashboard was built for the customer-support team of a worldwide third-party logistics provider, using ticket data from 2021 to 2024.


1. Project purpose

Logistics providers live and die by how fast—and how well—they solve customer issues. The goal of this report is to give ops leaders and CS managers a one-page pulse on the four service channels (Calls, Chats, Emails, Escalations):

  • Work-load – ticket volumes & YoY change

  • Speed – average resolution time and SLA compliance

  • Quality – customer-rated satisfaction

  • Root cause – top categories driving contacts


2. Data & modelling

 

Item Detail
Source73 402 anonymised tickets (CSV, 2021-01-01 → 2024-12-31)
FieldsDates opened/resolved, Channel, Category, Priority, Region, Shipment type, SLA days, Resolution days, CSAT
ModelFactTickets (one row per ticket) + DimDate + slim lookup tables (Channel, Category, Region…) → star schema
MeasuresExplicit DAX with VAR pattern (e.g. Tickets YoY %, Avg Resolution, SLA Met). DIVIDE used for safe ratios.
 

 


3. Page design choices (see screenshot)

 

Design element Rationale
Column-per-channel layout (4 cards)Instant side-by-side comparison; uniform reading path
KPI card + YoY badgeAt-a-glance headline plus directional cue (green ▲ / red ▼)
Quarterly mini-barsQuick seasonality check without leaving the page
Resolution-time histogramReveals skew & long-tail outliers better than a single average
SLA annotationInline reminder of contractual target per channel
Top-5 category barsZero-ink alternative to tables; drives conversation on root causes
Custom theme & iconsConsistent brand colours (teal, amber, olive, cyan) and intuitive glyphs
Year slicer (top-right)Lets users time-travel while keeping the canvas uncluttered
 

 


4. Key insights (demo data)

  • Calls remain the busiest (5 417 in 2023) but volume slipped -2 % YoY, hinting at channel-shift to chat.

  • Chats grew +1 % and show the fastest average resolution (3 days) thanks to simpler issues like Live Tracking.

  • Emails hover around 5 400 tickets; resolution time skews wider (long tail up to 18 days).

  • Escalations are <15 % of load, yet SLA compliance lags (only 79 %)—risk area for the COO.


6. How to use the report

  1. Pick a year in the slicer (defaults to current).

  2. Scan the YoY badges to spot channels needing attention.

  3. Hover over a bar chart for exact ticket count & % within SLA.

  4. Click any category bar to cross-filter the entire page (e.g., isolate Damaged Goods issues).

  5. Export to PowerPoint for exec meetings or subscribe to a Power BI alert on SLA < 85 %.

Why this matters: In logistics, every delayed resolution compounds downstream costs. This dashboard distils four years of ticket data into a 30-second situational briefing—so leaders can move from gut feel to data-driven decisions.

 

A big thank you to Injae Park for his guidance on this project.

    I like the clean look. If you can share the PBIX, I would like to check it out more. Thanks for sharing your project.

  • Hello, good morning. I'm from Brazil, and I'm one more person who joins the chorus in saying that your work was very good. I don't know if you shared the pbix with the guys, but if you could, I'd be extremely grateful. Thank you.
