Managing Service Level Agreements

About Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

Service level agreements (SLAs) are the sets of parameters that define the contractual lead time on each route with a carrier. Each carrier on a route to a specific country can have different numbers of days needed for the complete delivery. Based on the provided data, Seven Senders Portal calculates a various number of metrics that allow to monitor the carrier performance or to show the estimated time of arrival on your tracking page.
