Integrate Vizion’s Data with Leading
ERPs and TMSs
Stay Updated with Real-Time Vessel and Container Data
Vizion sends tracking data to your ERP, TMS or other software system, allowing you to understand a container’s movements in real-time and plan ahead for arrival at its destination. With this level of visibility, you can frictionlessly manage the movement from sea to land and beyond.
Many sources of container tracking data are not updated frequently enough to be useful. Vizion's container trace data lets you track in real-time and at a granular level, so you can monitor your shipments and prepare logistically for their arrival.
Making calls, sending emails, or visiting websites for container status updates are labor-intensive, error-prone processes that lack scalability. With Vizion API, you get access to more complete data, updated automatically.
Armed with the knowledge of when your containers are approaching their last free date and when they are ready for pickup allows for better coordination with drayage providers for better inventory management and a more efficient supply chain.
The container tracking data of Vizion API enables you to manage or even completely avoid costly fees. This visibility also supports auditing of detention and demurrage fees to ensure their accuracy.
