1. The Eight Entity Types

GSCi organises supply chain intelligence around eight core entity types. Each type has its own listing page accessible from the header navigation:

Entity Type

Description

Logistic Markets

Market segments such as air freight, ocean shipping, and warehousing

Providers

Logistics service providers and their operational profiles

Countries

Country-level logistics intelligence and trade data

Regions

Multi-country geographic groupings with cross-border analysis

Vertical Sectors

Industry verticals and their logistics demand profiles

Thematics

Cross-cutting themes such as sustainability, e-commerce logistics, and technology trends

Technologies

Logistics technology profiles covering capabilities and adoption

Software Vendors

Software companies serving the logistics technology market

Each entity type has a dedicated listing page with filter sidebars, category cards, and a data grid for browsing all entities of that type.

2. The Five-Tab System

Every entity detail page in GSCi is organised into up to five tabs that categorise content by purpose:

Overview — General information and summary content. This is the default tab when you first open an entity page and typically contains the entity profile, executive summary, and introductory analysis.

Insight — Analyst commentary and strategic analysis. Sections with names containing "insight" are automatically placed here. This tab features in-depth assessments, SWOT analyses, and strategic commentary.

Market Data — Charts, figures, and quantitative data. Sections containing data visualisations and statistical content are automatically categorised here. This is where you find revenue charts, market sizing data, and statistical visualisations.

Segmentation — Market breakdowns and segment analysis. Sections with "segment" in their name are placed in this tab, showing how markets and services are divided across categories.

Latest Updates — Recent news briefs and publications. News and briefs content is always placed here, keeping current developments separate from the core analytical content.

Note: Not all entity types display every tab. Technology entities, for example, have the Market Data tab hidden by default because their content is primarily qualitative.

3. The Four-Level Section Hierarchy

Content within each tab is organised in a four-level hierarchy that provides both breadth and depth:

  1. Parent Sections — top-level groupings visible within each tab (e.g., "Market Overview", "Competitive Landscape").
  2. Child Sections — the main content blocks within a parent. Most analytical text, charts, and figure data lives at this level.
  3. Sub Sections — finer-grained breakdowns within a child section (e.g., "Revenue by Region" within a "Revenue Analysis" child).
  4. Great Sub Sections — the most detailed level, used for highly specific data points or commentary.

The section navigation on entity pages lets you browse through these levels, expanding and collapsing content as needed.

Section Deep Links: Each section has a unique link. You can share a direct link to any section by copying the URL from your browser — the page will scroll to that exact section when opened.

4. How Tabs Are Automatically Categorised

GSCi automatically assigns sections to the appropriate tab based on their content and name:

  • Sections with chart or figure data are placed in Market Data.
  • Sections with analytical or strategic content are placed in Insight.
  • Sections covering market breakdowns are placed in Segmentation.
  • News and briefs are placed in Latest Updates.
  • Everything else defaults to Overview.

This automatic categorisation ensures consistent content organisation across the platform. When new sections are added to an entity, they appear in the appropriate tab without manual configuration.

5. Entity Listing Pages

Each entity type has a listing page that lets you browse, search, and filter all entities of that type.

Filter Sidebar: On the left side of the page, a filter panel lets you narrow results by various criteria such as region, service type, or status. Applied filters appear as removable chips and are stored in your browser so they persist across sessions.

Category Cards: Many listing pages display category cards at the top — visual tiles that let you quickly jump into a specific sub-category of entities.

Data Grid: Below the cards, a sortable data grid lists all entities. The grid supports: - Column sorting (click any column header) - Pagination for large result sets - CSV export for offline analysis - Fullscreen mode for focused browsing

Clicking any entity in the grid or cards takes you to that entity's detail page with its five-tab layout.
