In the fast-paced world of shipping and logistics, uncertainty and guesswork can lead to inefficiency and costly delays. TradeWindow Cube is here to change that narrative by offering you access to real-time shipping event data from trusted sources. With Cube, you can now track your container events at every step of the shipment, including in transshipments, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and timely delivery.

The Challenges of Traditional Tracking

Traditional tracking methods are often done manually which is time-consuming, searching for booking information and tracking vessels and containers through various disconnected websites, then patching together shipment data across shared speadsheets. This process highlights two of the challenges that our customers confirm are their biggest frustrations:

• Real-Time Data

In an industry where time is money, delays in receiving shipment information can lead to missed opportunities and operational inefficiencies. Without real-time data, businesses are left guessing the whereabouts and the status of their shipments, leading to uncertainty and possible costs incurred, as well as delays in receiving payment.

• Inefficiency

The manual process of searching for booking information and tracking vessels and containers through various websites is not only time-consuming but also prone to human error. This labour-intensive task takes valuable time away from core business activities and can lead to incorrect decisions based on outdated or inaccurate shipment information.

Introducing TradeWindow Cube

TradeWindow Cube is designed to address these pain points by providing accurate and reliable real-time event data. Here’s how Cube is improving visibility in the shipment process:
