Example Uses

For Freight Forwarders

ESP gives you a competitive advantage in providing your customers with powerful insights into the flow of their goods, as well as giving them the ability to check on their own status of goods. Give real-time tracking views to your customers so you can reallocate your workforce to focus more on customer retention, upselling, etc.

For Cargo Owners

ESP gives cargo owners insights into the arrival of goods in support of their sales and merchandise planning, with better prediction on when the goods will be on hand and available for shipment to customers. Given how long todays offshore supply chain is, it’s critical that cargo owners are able to plan shipments well in advance, especially related to seasonal goods.

For Drayage Operators

ESP gives drayage companies critical intelligence on when ships will arrive in port along with expected time to berth and resulting container availability. What does this mean to a drayage operator? An opportunity to experience a more efficient dispatch and lower turn times, resulting in more turns per shift and enhanced profitability.
