Who offers the best container tracking data? 🙃 Is it the RTTVP providers such as project44, Shippeo, and Fourkites? Or does CargoWise's direct connectivity to ocean carriers give them the upper hand? 🤔 It's a complex landscape, and one that has seen more change than we give credit for. Hapag-Lloyd AG have now made the container tracking space all the more interesting with their "Live Position" product. What we've noticed over the past few years of working with forwarders and 3PLs of all shapes and sizes is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for ocean tracking. Which is why we want to help you achieve the perfect mix for your business, enabling you to provide your customers with the visibility they need, regardless of the provider. Let's say that your customer has shipments with you being moved by ten distinct carriers. - 2 carriers provide direct visibility - 2 are better through Shippeo - 1 through P44 - 2 via FourKites - 1 using Hapag-Lloyd's Live Position - 2 via CargoWise's direct carrier connectivity That's at best 7 distinct sources (let's stick with 7 to keep it simple). Now what do you do? 👉 Send your customer 7 distinct links to track their shipments? 👉 Provide suboptimal results for some shipments? 👉 Build your own front-end solution and try to push all the right data to the right places? Hold that thought, you don't need to build it yourself. You can connect all of the above sources into a single database, providing a single front-end link (fully customizable to your individual customer's needs) to the customer, configured to use the data sources you want based on your key criteria. Shipment visibility is supposed to make everyone's lives easier, not more complex. Reach out for a 10 minute conversation that will change the way you approach visibility. #shipping #data #supplychain #freight #logistics
