Visibility problem solved
The software adapts to the needs of the company almost in its entirety, the visibility it provides with respect to the container tracking brings a lot of value.
CONSAs an opportunity for improvement I would consider adding the name of the terminal to which the containers arrive and not only the port name, also consider mapping when the container is empty, between unload and gateout.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your kind feedback, Susana! We believe that the visibility at the handover points is especially crucial to enable smooth logistics operations. That includes arrival and container events at the terminal. Our team is now developing new capabilities to improve coverage for events at the terminal and we can't wait to introduce them to our customers.

Great service
Great experience with reliable customer service when clarifying any question it may arise.
PROSThe fact that we can have a master and child org allows us to have a better view of the container we need to track on a daily basis. This is something we are still working on, but it´s definitely a great feature.
CONSI think the product is using-friendly. Any request we have made has been attended positively.

CONSThe time needed to reflect the container status after posting the BL or container no.
Vendor Response
Hello Shu Lin, In one of our latest updates, we've added a new algorithm that significantly reduced the time needed to reflect the container status. In the future, we're going to adjust that even more as we understand how important this time gap is. Thanks for your feedback!
