Container Tracking

Container Tracking provides end-to-end visibility for cross-border sea-freight shipments. Track container locations, view shipment timelines, monitor cargo manifests, and access stakeholder information—all from a single interface within OMS. Use this feature when:

• You have received container or bill of lading information from your freight forwarder
• You need to monitor the ocean‑freight progress of a specific shipment
• You want to view the detailed cargo manifest and shipping timeline for customs

Prerequisites

To search for a container, you must have one of the following reference numbers provided by your logistics provider:

• Container Number: The unique alphanumeric code on the shipping container.
• Master Bill of Lading (MBL): The primary contract issued by the ocean carrier.
• House Bill of Lading (HBL): The document issued by the freight forwarder.
• Purchase Order (PO#): The original purchase order number associated with the cargo.

Note: This feature pulls data from your integrated logistics systems. If you cannot find expected container information, confirm with your freight forwarder that the shipment details have been properly transmitted to OMS.

• Parties Information: Contact cards for the Shipper (sender) and the Consignee (receiver), including organization names and addresses.
