For an importer, every day of delay at the port costs money. They want to know where their container is, what’s holding it up and when it will be delivered. If the information only flows by phone, your team spends its days on it.
Online tracking
Clients enter their container or file number and see the steps:
- Arrived at port
- Documents received
- Customs declaration
- Cleared
- In transit
- Delivered
With the date of each step and, if needed, the missing document. The Wouri Logistics demo presents this tracking.
