Case Studies
Nobody likes to wait in line. For a transport professional, queuing up is not just annoying, it costs real dollars. PortQ benefits both ends of the trucking logistics chain: It eliminates demand peaks and troughs that affect the productivity of loading docks and bulk storage terminals. And it improves truck productivity due to reduced wait times.
Demurrage costs and intransparent slot allocation destroy value for shippers, end customers and ports. PortQ eliminates wasteful idle time and inefficient slot allocation with a SAAS solution that allows port customers to book capacity in self-serve mode. Ports set flexible business rules (i.e. first-in-first-served, volume limits, priority customers) and track actuals versus booked capacity (integrating with Port Loading systems) – a win for all participants of the supply chain.
