Modules:

Commercial: Carriers can maintain the commercial side of their business from order to invoice. Managing customer contracts, quotes, bookings, bills of lading and invoices is simplified in the commercial module. In addition, this module allows the user to perform actions against data in the system such as creating summaries of bookings for a vessel voyage or assigning VIN’s to a booking manually or via EDI.

Voyage: Allows designated users to maintain master vessel schedules and port rotations. In addition, the voyage functionality gives the user port visibility. With the ability to track vessels, including arrival and departure from pilot stations and berth, this level of vessel schedule detail offers shippers another valuable tool to monitor the status of their cargo at all times.

Cost: The carrier can control costs associated to the port call, vessel and vessel voyage

Quality Control: One of the major challenges for carriers is controlling damage to shipments. With the ability to perform highly detailed vehicle surveys and damage assessments with digital picture attachments, carriers have a new tool to eliminate liability for damage and associated costs.

Reports: This module offers users the ability to create their own reports against any data in the system and share these reports with others in the organization. There are also canned reports that are determined by the organization.

EDI: This module is extremely flexible and allows new trading partners to be brought on quickly and easily. The extensive EDI log enables the user to easily view all transactions, identify and edit errors, and process them to complete the transaction.

Administration: Designated users can easily manage the system. Functions such as password changes, user profiles, port profiles, vessel profiles, inspection profiles and exchange rates can be changed without involving a system programmer. source code licensing.
