New automated booking ETA update service makes logistics management more efficient for exporters.
Norwalk, CT — September 25th — cieTrade Systems Inc., a leader in global business management software for bulk commodity export trading and for the recycling industry, announces the upcoming launch of its Automated Booking ETA Update Service. This new feature is designed to meet the needs of exporters by providing real-time updates on the estimated time of arrival (ETAs) for ocean carrier bookings and, in the future, offering track and trace capabilities for individual containers.
cieTrade developed this new service in response to much client interest to enhance logistics management, and notification of container shipments. Participating clients will benefit from receiving fully automated ETA updates for open bookings for supported ocean carriers. This feature is an extension of cieTrade’s existing support for international trade which already includes electronic BOL submissions and automated booking requests and confirmations through their longstanding partnership with INFOR NEXUS.
Key Features of the Automated Booking ETA Update Service:
- Daily Carrier Updates: The service will automatically contact supported carriers each day to check the port arrival status of any open bookings, ensuring that ETAs dates are always current.
- Automatic Revision and Notification: Any affected bookings will be automatically revised, and your assigned logistics manager will receive email notifications with the updated information.
- Platform Availability: This new service is now available for both the cieTrade.net CLOUD platform and the cieTrade Windows DESKTOP platform, ensuring seamless integration into your existing workflow.
- Future Enhancements: While the initial focus is on ETA updates, we are also exploring the potential for a track and trace service for individual containers, which may be offered at a later date.
“We are thrilled to introduce the Automated Booking ETA Update Service as part of our commitment to enhancing logistics management for our clients,” said Udom Motayasiri, Vice President of cieTrade Systems Inc. “This feature will significantly improve the visibility and accuracy of shipment timings, allowing our clients to manage their logistics more effectively.”
