Your business depends on its supplies. If you don’t know when your items left, where they are now, and when they’re going to be delivered, your own shipments can be delayed. These days, supplies move globally. Changes in trade regulations, inspection schedules, and import taxes all impact your business directly.
Delays add an additional layer of complexity to your supply line. From departure to number of days in transit to arrival, containers can be delayed at any stage of their journey. No matter what kind of delays a shipment meets, however, the “need by” date will not be changed, so the ability to track and schedule every part of the process becomes imperative.
Container tracking lets you know every step your supplies or products take as they come to you or go out to your customers. And while you’re getting a system to track your containers, it would be nice if it took care of the paperwork too, right? And integrated with your accounting processes and with your resource management solutions? And of course lets you do this quickly and efficiently from beginning to end?
There are many container tracking systems on the market, though – how do you know which one will work best with your business system? Which one will integrate best with what you’re already working with? Which will help you manage your supply line easiest and streamline the entire shipping process? Which system will improve your efficiency and let you track and expedite your merchandise from supply chain to customer?
