Scale Assets and Resources Using A
Single-Source Visibility Product

How much money could you save by eliminating one day from inventory carry costs across your global network? MercuryGate’s Shipment and Order Visibility product helps shippers right size lead times with accurate transit duration and multimodal ETA — improving planning efficiency, reducing safety stock, and enhancing flow of inventory.

Don Mabry, senior vice president of global trade solutions at MercuryGate, discusses how the Shipment and Order Visibility product increases shipment transparency at both the container and item-level across ocean, air, rail, and road shipment modes.

Monitor the Big Picture of Shipments

The Geo-Map Shipments feature shows the location of ocean container shipments at any given time. It details vessel information including name, current location, estimated arrival to port, status, speed, and the quantity of the organization’s shipments on board.

Drill Down to Item-level Tracking

Take shipment tracking a step further when you can query an item or SKU. Use the Vessel Ledger filter to determine the vessel and container location for a particular product. The ocean container ledger displays general information, ETA to destination, shipment details, and quantity. This information enables you to provide accurate delivery estimates to the end customer without manual queries.

Give Detention Charges the Boot

Access the Operations Dashboard to view all ocean container shipments organized by shipment milestones. Query or configure automated alerts to identify shipments that were discharged but not picked-up within two days. Those containers are at risk of incurring detention charges and require proactive escalation with the assigned carriers. The capability is also handy for disputing charges capability, identifying carrier-specific issues, and reducing accessorial costs.

Illuminate the Inefficiencies

With increasing pressure on organizations and logistics service providers to increase supply chain efficiencies and reduce costs, achieving end-to-end visibility is essential to meeting those objectives. Shipment & Order Visibility automates shipment status collection and creates a unified system of a record for shipments every mile of the journey, supports standardized workflows, improves reliability of shipment deliveries, and reduces overall operating costs.
