Support for Ocean transportation
We're setting sail into new territory with enhanced Ocean Order support, and it's a game-changer. Here's what's in store for carriers like you ⛴️
Container Insights at Your Fingertips
Get a clear view of container details, including seal numbers, Port of Loading (POL), and Port of Discharge (POD). Your cargo is no longer a mystery; it's all right there.
Ocean Stops, Milestones in Focus
Track your ocean journey with precision. Now, you can monitor key milestones like POL, POD, and Empty Container Return, making your voyage smoother than ever.
Schedules Made Simple
Stay on course with ease. Access all schedules and know exactly when you should be there. Update them with actuals, ensuring you're always in sync with your journey.
Redesigned Detail Page for Clarity
To accommodate the wealth of information, we've revamped the detail page with intuitive tabs at the top. No more endless scrolling; everything you need is neatly organized for quick access.
With these enhancements, Ocean Orders are no longer a daunting voyage but a streamlined, efficient experience. Dive in and explore the world of logistics with confidence!
Other improvements
Always in the Right Time Zone
No matter where you are, the date and time of a location will be displayed in that location's timezone. No more timezone confusion; it's always clear.
Customize Your Materials View - Your Way
Now, you're the boss of your Transport Detail page. With the new update, you can configure the columns on the material lines table exactly as you like. Hide, show, and define column widths to tailor your view to your specific needs. It's all about seeing what matters most to you.
Perfect Column Widths, Every Time
Long location names? No problem! In the Main TO grid, you can now define and save column widths, ensuring that even those lengthy names fit neatly. Say goodbye to the hassle of adjusting columns manually.
Stay Informed with New Notifications
We're keeping you in the loop. Now, you can enable notifications for new cost additions by the shipper and updates to your Transport Orders' milestones. Stay updated in real-time and never miss a beat. 🔔
Get the Full Picture
Transparency is key. If the shipper has overwritten material volume or value, you'll see it right on the grid and on the detail page. No more mysteries; you're in control.
Your Handling Guidelines, Your Way
Access handling guidelines for each part directly, without the need to navigate through location or material orders. It's all about convenience, and we've got you covered.
Stay on Top with Pre-Advice Confirmation
The status "Pre-Advice Confirmed" is now at your fingertips. Keep a pulse on your operations and be one step ahead.
Supplier and Customer Insight
Who's involved? You can now see the supplier and customer for each Material Order, providing you with a comprehensive overview of your operations. Stay informed, stay efficient.
Spot tender features
Bid Expiration for Ultimate Control
Now, when the shipper enables it, you can set an expiration date for your bid. Once it expires, you won't be considered for the award. It's all about control in your hands.
Other Handy Improvements
Timezone Clarity
Just like in the transport orders, the days and times of the location are displayed in the location's timezone. No more timezone confusion; it's always crystal clear.
Enhanced Spot Detail Page
We've redesigned the Spot Detail Page, mirroring the transport detail page's user-friendly layout. It's all about making your experience smoother.
Error Alerts for a Smoother Experience
We've got your back. If there's any hiccup, we'll alert you. Whether it's a colleague bidding at the same time, the spot getting canceled, or any other issue, you'll be in the know.
With these enhancements, the Spot Tender Tool is not just a tool; it's your partner in securing bids efficiently and with full control. Elevate your logistics game like never before!
