Coordinate Cross-Border Moves

Dual Transaction Coordination empowers dispatchers to manage complex import and export moves as unified operations. By linking inbound and outbound drayage activities, this function reduces handoff delays and ensures cargo continuity across borders. It provides real-time visibility into container status from arrival at the terminal to departure for final delivery. This capability is essential for supply chains requiring strict synchronization between customs clearance and trucking schedules.

The system automatically aligns appointment windows for import trucks with export gate availability, preventing idle time at ports.

Dispatchers receive consolidated alerts when a container's status changes from 'in-transit' to 'customs-cleared', triggering immediate action.

Integrated scheduling tools allow simultaneous booking of multiple containers under a single drayage contract for efficiency gains.

Core Operational Capabilities

Unified scheduling engine merges import and export timelines to eliminate gaps in cargo handling processes.

Automated status updates trigger notifications only when critical path events occur, reducing alert fatigue.

Real-time tracking dashboards display synchronized movement data for both inbound and outbound shipments.
