Overview<\/h1>\n

If you import goods, you already know the most frustrating part of container management isn\u2019t receiving the inventory. It\u2019s waiting for it.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest frustrations I hear from salespeople and production managers isn\u2019t about posting receipts or matching invoices like the accounting staff. It\u2019s much earlier than that. It\u2019s the simple question of, \u201cWhere are the items right now?\u201d<\/p>\n

For years, this information has lived outside of Dynamics 365 Business Central. It\u2019s buried in emails, spreadsheets, or screenshots from freight forwarders. By the time the data makes its way back, it\u2019s already stale. When things go wrong, such as delays, port strikes, etc., you’re really lost in the dark.<\/p>\n

That gap in visibility is exactly what we set out to close with the latest update for our Freight Container Receiving Management<\/a> app.<\/p>\n

Know Where Your Inbound Items are in Business Central<\/h1>\n

You’re now able to track freight containers that holds your cargo in real time while they\u2019re on the ocean and even on the rail. This is powered by an integration with Terminal49 (terminal49.com<\/a>), which tracks the vessels your containers are on into a single source.<\/p>\n

This means the your container status no longer lives outside the system. It\u2019s available directly inside Business Central. You can see when a container departs, when it arrives, when it\u2019s been discharged, and when it moves inland by rail. No more guessing. No more chasing for updates<\/p>\n
