Visibility for Shippers

Transporeon Visibility is an AI-enabled, multimodal transportation visibility solution for shippers. It tracks in-transit freight, generates predictive estimated arrival times and alerts teams to potential disruptions. The solution supports road, ocean, rail, air freight and intermodal transportation, giving shippers a more connected view of their global supply chain.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Transporeon Visibility is designed for shippers that need reliable information about freight moving across carriers, regions or transportation modes. It is particularly relevant for logistics teams that rely on emails, telephone calls, carrier portals or spreadsheets to check shipment status. Transport planners, customer service teams, warehouse teams and supply chain managers can all use the visibility data.

Manual shipment tracking requires logistics teams to contact carriers, check multiple portals and consolidate updates in spreadsheets. The information may already be outdated by the time it reaches the relevant person. This creates unnecessary administrative work, makes customer communication more difficult and leaves teams reacting to delays rather than managing them proactively.

Transporeon Visibility gathers shipment information from connected carriers, telematics and fleet management systems, ocean carriers, terminals and other data sources. AI and predictive models process this information to determine shipment status and calculate estimated arrival times. The resulting locations, milestones, ETAs and alerts are presented through a central visibility environment.

Transporeon Visibility supports road, ocean, rail, air freight and intermodal transportation. Shippers can monitor individual modes or link different transport legs into a connected journey. This helps organisations maintain visibility when a shipment moves between a truck, vessel, train or aircraft instead of treating every leg as a separate movement.⁠⁠⁠⁠

A predictive ETA is an estimated arrival time that is continuously recalculated using current shipment and transport data. Instead of relying only on the original schedule, it considers factors such as location, journey progress, transport events and changing operating conditions. More accurate ETAs help shippers plan loading, unloading, inventory and customer communication.

Transporeon Visibility monitors shipment progress and can alert users when a delay, milestone change or other deviation requires attention. Instead of reviewing every shipment manually, teams can focus on transports that are at risk. Earlier notification gives shippers more time to adjust operations, inform customers or work with the carrier on a solution.⁠⁠

Road visibility uses GPS and telematics data from connected vehicles and fleet management systems to monitor a shipment’s progress. Shippers can view the current location, transport status and predicted arrival time. Access to Transporeon’s connected carrier network can reduce the effort required to establish tracking coverage across different road transport partners.

Transporeon Ocean Visibility consolidates container and shipment data from ocean carriers, terminals, AIS, port communities and other sources. It provides status updates, milestone changes, predictive ETAs and alerts for potential delays. Shippers can identify containers that require attention without checking multiple carrier and terminal portals individually.⁠⁠

Yes. Transporeon can link ocean shipments with inland road or rail legs to provide a more complete view from initial pickup to final delivery. Planned, estimated and actual milestone times can be connected across the journey. This helps shippers maintain context when freight changes mode or moves through several transport providers.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Yes. Real-time visibility gives internal teams and authorised customers direct access to current shipment information, reducing the need to request updates by phone or email. Automated statuses, ETAs and notifications also support more proactive customer communication. Shell reported that providing accurate delivery information reduced calls by approximately 50%, although results will vary by operation.

Real-time arrival information helps facilities understand which vehicles are approaching, ready to load or expected to unload. More accurate ETAs can support labour planning, dock preparation, yard coordination and capacity utilisation. When visibility is connected with execution and dock or time-slot processes, teams can respond earlier when a vehicle is delayed or ahead of schedule.

Yes. Transporeon Visibility can integrate with Transporeon execution solutions and compatible transportation management systems. Shipment statuses, ETAs and relevant transport events can become part of the operational workflow instead of remaining in a separate tracking tool. This enables teams to use visibility data for carrier assignment, execution monitoring and exception management.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Ocean Visibility helps shippers monitor container milestones, free-time information and events that may lead to detention or demurrage charges. Real-time alerts can identify containers at risk so teams can take action before avoidable costs increase. The solution also provides shipment context across ocean and inland legs, helping users understand where intervention is required.⁠
