Ti’s Logistics Trackers launch
Ti (Transport Intelligence) rolled out Logistics Trackers, a tool providing real‑time visibility into warehouse capacity, costs, and volumes to help 3PL procurement and benchmarking. The product is pitched as a way for 3PLs to gauge capacity and cost performance across markets. (x.com)
Transport Intelligence, the U.K. logistics research firm usually known as Ti, has turned one of its research products into a more explicit software pitch. The new offer, called Logistics Trackers, bundles live and quarterly data on air, ocean, road, and warehousing markets into a subscription product aimed at buyers of outsourced logistics. Ti says the service tracks freight rates, costs, volumes, and capacity changes, and that subscribers can use it to plan procurement, set budgets, and benchmark what they are paying against third-party market data (gsci.ti-insight.com, ti-insight.com). That matters because warehousing and contract logistics have become harder to price from the outside. Ti’s own materials describe its dashboard as a low-latency feed of operational metrics across transport modes, with downloadable data and quarterly reports layered on top. On the Logistics Trackers page, Ti says the product now offers more than 400 datasets, drawn from a broader database of more than 1,000 logistics metrics, and that the warehousing module alone includes datasets on volumes, demand, capacity, and logistics costs by region (gsci.ti-insight.com, ti-insight.com). The launch is really a sign of what customers now want from logistics intelligence. A static market report is useful if you are writing a strategy deck. It is less useful if you are renegotiating a 3PL contract in a market that is moving quarter by quarter. Ti is pitching Logistics Trackers as a way to close that gap. Its marketing language is blunt: use the data to benchmark current prices, support negotiations with carriers, forwarders, and 3PLs, and monitor changes through the quarter instead of waiting for a retrospective report (gsci.ti-insight.com, gsci.ti-insight.com). Warehousing is the clearest example of why this has become a product now. Ti’s latest free warehouse tracker, published on February 10, 2026 and covering Q3 2025, says costs had stabilized and vacancy rates had leveled off, but supply trends were splitting sharply by region. Europe was still the structurally high-cost market. North America was the most cyclical. Asia Pacific was the most stable and predictable. Ti’s outlook was not a broad recovery. It was “consolidation and selective resilience,” which is a polite way of saying the market is not moving in one clean direction (ti-insight.com, ti-insight.com). That regional divergence had been building for a while. In a November 2025 brief, Ti said Europe’s warehousing cost index had barely moved, North America had posted its first quarterly increase since mid-2024, and Asia Pacific had edged down again, preserving its reputation as the lowest-volatility region. Earlier, in a February 2025 release, Ti had argued that global warehousing would keep growing through 2025 even as vacancy rose intermittently and rent, labor, and operating expenses kept pushing upward. Put those together and you get the real logic of Logistics Trackers: not just more data, but a way to watch a market where demand can stay healthy while margins get squeezed by local cost structures and uneven capacity (ti-insight.com, ti-insight.com). Ti is not pretending this is mass-market software. The dashboard is sold as a specialist subscription, with example pricing on the main site showing a 12-month single-user dashboard license at £995, and the Trackers pages offering single-user through unlimited-user plans plus demos for enterprise buyers. The concrete detail is the warehousing module itself: Ti says it includes 4 volume datasets, 7 demand datasets, 14 capacity datasets, and 19 logistics-cost datasets, all sitting inside a product built to give procurement teams something they almost never have in 3PL negotiations, which is a common yardstick (ti-insight.com, gsci.ti-insight.com).
