When everything lives in spreadsheets, nothing feels under control

Manual tracking
every week

3–4 hours a week just pulling ETD/ETA updates off shipping line websites and pasting them into your ERP.

Data is all
over the place

Everything lives in spreadsheets and shared drives. Each forwarder has their own portal and format. Your POs, shipments, ERP and finance tools are out of sync.

Slow, inaccurate
reporting

Reporting means copy pasting data every week. Forwarders gives you outdated reports. No single place to see what’s late or at risk with your team.

Poor detention 
tracking

Detention “countdowns” sitting in a manual spreadsheet, plus scattered emails saying “container about to go on detention”.
