Intelligent Container Visibility

Relying on container shipping schedules to track and trace is no longer a reliable option. Automate track and trace for your containers globally using machine learning

Receive early warning notifications for any shipment delays in real time and inform your factories, warehouses and truckers beforehand to reduce detention charges

In addition to arrival predictions, we provide you with qualitative reasons for delay like congestion or weather adversities. 

Have you been manually tracking shipment updates? Reduce manual eta tracking by up to 80% and start securing your shipments on time in full  

Track Your Container

Optimize capacity of transport assets with efficient forecasting and demand management

Cargo Demand Forecasting

Static demand data is crippling your pricing and revenue management. Improve yield management by accurately forecasting demand up to 3 months ahead

We take into account external indicators such as economic patterns, market capacity, customer no shows, cancellations & rollovers, seasonalities and holidays to forecast demand for you 

Real-time demand forecasting allows you to implement dynamic pricing for better capacity utilisation and improve your sales and operations planning process

Demand forecasting is done at a granular level, down to the scale of global (air)port-pairs
