Publication number: 20240119403Abstract: Systems and methods for retrieving and analyzing shipping data and rendering interfaces associated therewith are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving an indication of a reference key from a user computing device, and aggregating, by utilizing one or more application programming interfaces (APIs), a set of data entity information from one or more shipping service provider devices. The set of data entity information may correspond to the reference key and include real-time data from each shipping service provider participating in logistics or transportation of an object from the set of data entity information along a transportation route. The example method may further include partitioning the data entity information into multiple workspace cards, and causing the user computing device to render a workspace graphical user interface (GUI) that includes at least one workspace card of the multiple workspace cards for access by a user of the user computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Quintin C.
