Reduce Demurrage Costs 

Your demurrage costs are a significant portion of your logistics costs. You need a tool to analyze and optimize them. Supply chain visibility through real-time cargo monitoring provides you with the required information on the location of your shipments any time, enabling you to optimize your processes to avoid demurrage costs.

Gain transparency into your supply chain to reduce demurrage cost

Cargo monitoring reveals blinds spots in your supply chain. Independently from shipping lines and port operators, you get access to real-time data on the location of your shipment at any time. 

Use the insights from cargo monitoring to establish data-driven processes for managing your ocean freight and container pickups.

Control every shipment and stay informed

Instead of waiting for updates from shipping lines, you can manage your shipments proactively. Keep track of all your cargo in transit and rely on quick, dynamic and data-driven ETA calculations. Get automatic reminders of your ongoing and overrunning free time.

Optimize the container collection process

By relying on real-time updates on the progress of a container, all stakeholders in the supply chain can be notified early when pickup is required. Notifications through email, SMS or data through an API ensure a streamlined transport process enabling you to reduce demurrage costs.

Predict demurrage charges

Use the collected data to calculate the demurrage charges to be expected (something 3PLs and forwarders may not always be transparent about). This will keep 3PLs and carriers accountable for delays giving you bargaining power for contract renegotiations.

Pay only for the days you actually need

Use historical data to discover demurrage hotspots and understand better why they happen.  Compare the exact duration of your cargo at specific ports or terminals to booked time slots. Stop overpaying adjust your planning data based on actual data.
