Add Container Tracking to Your TMS or ERP
Still tracking containers by calling carriers and updating an Excel workbook? There’s a better way — one that:
- Provides timely ETA estimates.
- Enhances customer experiences.
- Reduces detention and demurrage fees.
Vizion's container tracking API delivers the normalized data you need for fast analysis of your cargo's location. Add our data to your TMS, ERP or other software system. The data sources are already connected, giving you instant-on tracking capabilities.
How Does Tracking With Vizion Work?
Tracking your containers (and the products inside them) has never been easier for cargo owners. With Vizion, track your containers using only one of the following:
- A container number
- A master bill of lading
When you have one of those 2 things, Vizion automatically pushes complete, standardized and detailed tracking events to your system.
“Our company has been in a decade-long search to find a partner to provide our customers with the Container Tracking Information they have been telling us that they need. We couldn't be happier to be working with the Vizion team on this offering. We are very pleased with the data that is available and even more impressed with the level of support provided.”
The Costs of Limited Visibility
Without reliable visibility into your container locations, you incur 3 avoidable costs:
The cost of not knowing where your products are located: Without product location data, effective inventory management becomes impossible, and you put at risk any perishable items shipped in your containers.
The cost of poor customer experiences: Your customers want to know where their products are located in as close to real-time as possible. The customer experience suffers when you can't provide accurate updates and ETAs.
The cost of detention and demurrage fees: Detention and demurrage fees skyrocket without accurate container location data. High-volume shippers spend into the 7 figures on these avoidable fees each year.
