Every box tracked, and the demurrage clock counted down before it costs you money.
Reads arrival notices as they land. It matches container, PO, and HBL to your system the minute the forwarder's email arrives.
Counts down the free days. It works out the last free day from the notice itself. You hear about the clock days early, while there is still time to move the box.
Chases the whole cycle. ETA changes, pickup numbers, empty returns. Everything gets drafted and sent on your OK.
Knows what's waiting. Every open order tied to the box, so a slipped sailing reaches the customer who is waiting on it.
Seen in the wild
At one four-branch importer we studied, the owner's reply to a demurrage invoice was three words and three exclamation points. The charges had already accrued before anyone saw the clock. The watchdog counts free days from the arrival notice, not from the bill.
