Container & EXIM Shipment Tracking Solution

Most container tracking software in India stops at the shipping line's own portal, leaving your EXIM head chasing ICD, CFS and CHA updates by phone. We build one port-to-plant visibility layer that merges carrier milestones, ICEGATE status and yard movement into a single container record with live ETA and demurrage clocks.

Carrier & Line Visibility

Shipping line, NVOCC and terminal milestones pulled automatically against your container record.

Detention & Demurrage Alerts

Free days counted per line and container, with alerts before the chargeable window opens.

ICD, CFS & Rail Tracking

Rake movement, yard position and CFS destuffing tracked so inland legs stay visible.

Customs & ICEGATE Status

Shipping bill, bill of entry, assessment and out-of-charge status visible per container.

Our Container & EXIM Shipment Tracking Solution

Four modules covering carrier data capture, inland movement, customs status and cost control, delivered as one system and integrated with the ERP your EXIM team already works in.

Carrier and Shipping Line Integration
Every line publishes milestones differently and some publish nothing usable. We build and maintain connectors across carrier APIs, EDI messages, portal feeds and structured email parsing, so one container record fills regardless of carrier.

Key Capabilities:

Carrier API, EDI 315 and 322 message ingestion
Booking, bill of lading and container number cross-referencing
Vessel schedule, transhipment and port rotation change capture
NVOCC, consolidator and freight forwarder feeds normalised centrally
ICD, CFS and Port Milestones
Inland legs are where Indian EXIM visibility usually breaks. We instrument gate-in, gate-out, rake indent, yard position and destuffing events, so the container stays tracked long after it leaves the terminal.

Key Capabilities:

Terminal gate-in, gate-out and yard slot event capture
CONCOR and private rake indent, placement and movement status
CFS destuffing, examination and delivery order milestone logging
Geofenced trailer tracking on the road leg to plant
Customs and ICEGATE Status Sync
Clearance status drives everything downstream, and your CHA usually holds it in email. We pull shipping bill, bill of entry and out-of-charge status per container, so the logistics manager sees documentation risk before the vessel berths.

Key Capabilities:

ICEGATE bill of entry and shipping bill status tracking
Duty payment, assessment and out-of-charge milestone capture
CHA task allocation with document checklist and ageing view
Examination and participating agency holds flagged per container
Demurrage, Detention and Cost Control
Free-time terms differ by line, by contract and by container type. We encode yours so the clock starts on the correct event and escalation reaches someone who can still act before charges accrue.

Key Capabilities:

Per-line free-day rules for detention, demurrage and ground rent
Chargeable-day forecasting with escalation before the window opens
Landed cost roll-up by shipment, supplier and trade lane
Invoice verification against recorded gate and yard timestamps

Technologies That Power Our Solutions

The stack follows how your containers actually move, because a lane routed through an ICD needs different instrumentation from a direct port-to-plant trailer run.

Carrier EDI and API Connectors
Standards-based messaging where the line supports it, resilient parsing where it does not, with retry and reconciliation built into every feed.

Applications:

EDI 315 events Vessel schedules Container milestones Bill of lading data
Government Logistics APIs
Authoritative government sources are integrated directly, so clearance and movement evidence comes from systems your auditors and carriers already recognise.

Applications:

ICEGATE status ULIP data services FASTag toll reads FOIS rail movement
GPS, Geofencing and IoT Seals
Road legs and high-value cargo are instrumented with telematics, geofences and, where the commodity warrants it, electronic seals reporting tamper events.

Applications:

Trailer tracking ICD and plant geofences E-seal alerts Halt detection
Event Store and ETA Engine
A container-centric event store feeds an ETA model tuned on your own lane history rather than the transit averages carriers publish in schedules.

Applications:

Milestone timeline Predictive ETA Exception scoring Lane analytics

Industry Success Stories

• Client status queries answered without manual portal checking
• 30-45% reduction in milestone data entry effort
• Exception response time improved across all managed lanes
Export-Oriented Shippers
Exporters coordinating factory stuffing, road movement, customs clearance and vessel cut-off across gateway ports.

Results Achieved:

• Missed vessel cut-offs reduced materially on monitored lanes
• Shipping bill to gate-in cycle shortened by 20-30%
• Empty returns kept inside contracted free-day limits

Key Performance Indicators

The numbers an EXIM head and a logistics manager answer for each month, agreed as written targets before the pilot begins rather than afterwards.

Container Milestone Coverage
Share of live containers carrying a complete milestone chain from load port to plant gate.

Target: >95% of containers
How we get there: Achieved by combining carrier feeds with terminal, rail and road event capture.
Demurrage and Detention Spend
Free-time overruns charged per hundred containers handled in a given period.

Target: 25-40% reduction
How we get there: Driven by per-line free-day clocks and escalation before the chargeable window opens.
ETA Accuracy at Plant Gate
Variance between predicted and actual arrival at the receiving plant or warehouse.

Target: Within 24 hours inland
How we get there: Improves as the model learns from your own completed lane movements.
Manual Status Chasing Effort
Hours spent weekly calling lines, CHAs and transporters for container updates.

Target: Reduced by more than half
How we get there: Removed by automated feeds and one container view open to every stakeholder.

How We Deliver

Delivery is staged so a single trade lane proves the model before your whole EXIM book moves.

01
Requirement Study and Trade Lane Mapping
We document your ports, shipping lines, ICDs, CFSs, CHAs and transporters, and record how each one reports a milestone to your team today.
02
Solution Design and Data Source Selection
Which feeds are API-based, which need EDI and which must be parsed is signed off before development, along with every ERP integration point.
03
Pilot on One Trade Lane
A single high-volume lane runs end to end against agreed acceptance criteria, so milestone coverage and ETA accuracy are proven on your own containers.
04
Rollout, Integration and Support
Remaining lanes, carriers and agents are onboarded, ERP and finance integrations completed, and the system moves into an AMC with defined response times.

Why Choose Our Container & EXIM Shipment Tracking Solution?

Why Indian importers and exporters commission an EXIM visibility system rather than licensing a global container portal.

Inland India Is Covered
Global portals stop at the terminal gate. Our scope includes ICD, CFS, rake and road legs, where most Indian container delay and cost originates.
Your Free-Day Terms Encoded
Detention and demurrage rules come from your actual contract with each line, so the clock and the alert match what you are finally billed.
One Record Per Container
Booking, bill of lading, shipping bill, vehicle and invoice sit against one container identity, so nobody reconciles four systems to answer one question.
Built and Maintained By Us
Carrier portals change and government APIs are versioned. Maintaining those connectors sits inside the support contract, not in a change request raised after a feed breaks.

Get Every Container on One Screen

Book a requirement discussion with our engineering team. We will map your ports, lines, ICDs and clearing agents, confirm which milestone feeds are available today, and return with a scoped pilot on one trade lane and an indicative timeline.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

It is a system that follows an import or export container across every leg and holds those events against one record: vessel and carrier milestones, terminal gate and yard events, rail or road movement to an ICD or CFS, ICEGATE clearance status and final delivery at the plant. Unlike a single shipping line portal, container tracking software in India has to merge carrier, terminal, rail, customs and transporter data into one timeline with ETA and demurrage alerts.

Custom-built. We are a solution development and systems integration company, not a SaaS vendor. Every engagement opens with a requirement study of your lanes, shipping lines, ICDs and clearing agents, because usable data sources differ by importer.

Major global carriers and Indian NVOCCs can be integrated through whatever channel each supports, including REST APIs, EDI 315 and 322 messages, terminal system feeds, or structured parsing where a line publishes only to a portal.

Where road legs or high-value cargo are in scope, yes. We can supply, install and integrate trailer GPS units, electronic seals, yard scanners and gate reading infrastructure, with field performance covered as part of the implementation.

Yes. SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Navision and Tally, plus in-house import management systems can be integrated. Purchase order and invoice data can flow in, while milestone, ETA, landed cost and demurrage data can flow back to planning and finance.

Rail movement can come from FOIS and container train operator data, while ICD and CFS events can come from depot systems or our own gate capture. The trailer leg is tracked using geofences. Where no digital feed exists, a mobile application can record the required milestone.

Free-day terms are taken from your contract with each line and terminal, then encoded per line, container type and port. The clock starts on the contracted event and chargeable dates are forecast ahead so responsible teams can act before additional costs accrue.

Yes. On-premise, private cloud and hybrid deployments are supported. Data residency and infrastructure requirements are documented during solution design and agreed before implementation.

A pilot on one trade lane is usually targeted to go live within eight to twelve weeks of requirement sign-off. The actual timeline depends on the number of carrier feeds, availability of ICEGATE access, device integrations and ERP integration depth.

The system moves into an annual maintenance and support arrangement covering defined response times by severity, monitoring of carrier and government feeds, connector maintenance when external systems change, troubleshooting and an agreed volume of enhancements.
