Inspired by all the problems and uncertainties that all parties encountered or may encounter in the maritime transportation sector, we have created solutions that can be an answer to all. Let’s examine the benefits of container tracking services now!

Why Do You Need Container Tracking Service?

When you decide to purchase the container tracking service on the ShipsGo system, you will receive;

Notification emails

• You’re going to receive a container tracking notification mail about your shipment which summarizes tracking information such as vessel name, loading/discharge /transhipment ports and dates etc. You can also follow your container shipments on the live map by clicking the ‘Go Live Position’ button at the same e-mail. 
• We’re going to inform you whenever any changes take place during the voyage of your shipment.
• You’re going to receive an arrival notice on the day your container shipment arrives at the port of discharge(POD).
• If your shipment does not gate out from the port of discharge (POD), you’re going to receive a “Release Alert” notification. Besides, when the shipment gated out, then you’re going to receive a “Gate Out” alert. 

Service Finder & Campaigns

 ShipsGo ocean route finder provides you to search the best shipping routes from port to port. We serve you the easiest and the most accurate one-step route finder. We also offer to the companies; banner advertising that can be placed on the route search area at ShipsGo.com. The companies add their banner ads on the route area in our route finder module. They can easily view the per “click and view” rates of these banner ads from their dashboard. Depending on the number of routes, the charge of banner advertisement differs.

My Trackings

The ShipsGo system creates a chronological order for all of your container tracking requests so that you can see your tracking requests listed on the dashboard.

Tracking Statistics

On Shipsgo Dashboard, the statistics of container trackings that you made will be displayed. Briefly, ShipsGo turns your container tracking into valuable statistics in your account. In this way, you can reach many statistics such as the import/export and cross trade rates, the rates of the shipping lines (carriers) you work with besides weekly, monthly, and annual rates of your shipments based on “TEU” and container count.

Sub Account Management

 ShipsGo users can create sub-accounts for their customers or branch offices. Sub-accounts can use the main features of the account such as container tracking, dashboard, and notification emails. The main account can access all shipping data and transactions of sub-accounts. However, the sub-account couldn’t reach any data or operation of the main account or other sub-accounts.

Tracking Email Customization

You can choose the design of the notification emails that you or your clients will receive.

ShipsGo Container Tracking API

 If you choose to integrate the ShipsGo container tracking API into your website or enterprise system, you will receive valuable and detailed information about container status to serve your customers and enhance your company’s logistics functions by using the ShipsGo database.

Live Map I-frame

 One benefit that comes with the API integration is the live map. Live Map shows the live position of your container wherever it is. The live map option has been created to increase the transparency of transportation and supply chain visibility.

ShipsGo’s vision is to make people happy with the information. Since the beginning of our journey in the container transportation business, we have been trying to organize the shipping industry’s information and make it accessible universally. We have developed our well-known two products in the digital container transportation market; digital container tracking platform and route finder. These two products were developed for “visibility” in container transport. We provide information on the current position of containers and carriers’ route performances (transit time and reliability). We have reached 5,000 daily searches on our website from 70+ countries and plan to reach 30,000 daily searches worldwide.

11 March 2019 – This week, ShipsGo is celebrating its third anniversary following three years of rapid technology development for digital container transportation. The company now gives its services to more than 160 countries, with ambitions to make shipping better for BCOs, carriers, freight forwarders.

Launched on 11 March 2016, the idea behind ShipsGo was to achieve “ship together go better.” According to the CEO of the company, Merdan Erdogan, this paradigm is still valid.

ShipsGo increased the number of services in 2018. In the middle of 2018, the company launched a new dynamic algorithm “Octopus” based on the big data generated by the container shipping ecosystem movements. Since then, thanks to this unique algorithm, the company has started to introduce new services to provide cost optimization, fewer transshipment, and shorter transit times for all stakeholders in the shipping community.

Merdan Erdogan, CEO of ShipsGo, commented: “with ShipsGo, we are making what our industry needs; combining the industry knowledge with the technology. The adaptation of technology in the shipping industry needs special attention. Without understanding the industry structure and mechanism, you can not solve the problems of our partners with technology only. We have achieved a lot in the last three years, but the journey of ShipsGo is far from finished – our goals are still high. ”
