Total Container Management combines three distinct solutions to address specific supply chain challenges. Each service can stand alone or seamlessly integrate to improve the process of planning, booking, and delivering ocean containers. Delivery Management is the third and final step in the Total Container Management process. Delivery Management utilizes technology and the expertise of the Expeditors network to provide visibility to all ocean container activity from vessel departure through delivery and return of the empty container at destination. Delivery Management’s active exception management throughout the container lifecycle allows you to proactively address potential issues before they arise. By providing container visibility and active management further upstream, Delivery Management helps create predictability around the delivery process. This allows you to easily identify and prioritize critical product, plan for warehouse space and labor, and minimize any potential demurrage and detention. Delivery Management provides the final mile visibility to tie the entire integrated, carrier-agnostic, Total Container Management Process together.
We leverage vessel GPS data to provide real-time ETA’s and terminal information to provide the current and accurate status of every container. By utilizing the preferred arrival window data from Carrier Allocation, Delivery Management helps ensure containers are picked up and delivered as close as possible to the original plan. Lastly, when paired with Order Management, you gain visibility down to the SKU level, allowing you to easily identify the product in each container. This leads to proactive planning for prioritization of critical product and the ability to schedule warehouse labor far in advance of arrival. With Carrier Allocation upstream, Order Management controlling origin activity, and Delivery Management tying it all together at destination, you can rest assured our people, process, and technology will optimize your supply chain.
