How Does GCS Accomplish Reporting?
Hierarchy of reporting starts with a dashboard of network and health.
All reports available in 15 minute, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Reports are run
and stored in system so that they do not need to be ran each time you want to look at
data.
 Reporting Analysis: Traffic, Margin, Cause Code, & 7-Day Comparison
Traffic, Margin, Cause Code: Display by Termination carriers, by Origination Carriers, by
Destination. Filter by any field
7-Day Comparison: Display by Termination carriers, by Origination Carriers, by
Destination. Filter by any field. Show hour over hour comparison of Mon-Mon, Tues-Tues
etc
 Sales Management: Pricing Tool
Ability to create pricing rate decks for customers. Dynamically build A-Z rate deck
with x% margin over x real cost. Edit and save rate decks.
 Customer/Supplier Web Interface: Fully partition-based system with
company/user level access. View rate, reports, and rate changes.
