The Challenge
Material made in one country, consolidated in a second and shipped to a yard in a third is tracked by asking somebody. The longest part of the cash cycle is also the least visible part of the business.
How It Works
- Ingests open purchase orders, two years of shipping bookings, freight invoices and tracking.
- Predicts real arrival from how each route has behaved and compares against the need-by date.
- Ranks the shipments that will hurt, warns before free days expire and prepares clearance.
What It Removes
- Order position established by phoning somebody
- Late shipments discovered at the yard gate
- Free days running out on containers unnoticed
Input Data RequirementsPurchase orders with promised dates, two years of shipping bookings and freight invoices, container tracking, yard need-by dates, clearance records
Output FormatLive confidence-scored arrival per open order, late-shipment list ranked by consequence, free-days warnings, container packing plans, customs papers
“Finding out a shipment is late while it is still at sea costs a phone call; finding out at the yard gate costs air freight.”
