Container and Cargo Tracking FAQ
What is cargo and container tracking software for freight forwarders?
Cargo tracking software gives a freight forwarder real time shipment tracking and visibility across carriers and modes, ocean, air and rail, in one view. For ocean it tracks the container itself through gate in, load, sail, discharge, availability and empty return. For air it tracks the AWB through departure, transit and recovery. The milestone lands on the shipment record your team and your customer are both already looking at.
Can I track both ocean and air shipments?
Yes. GoFreight tracks both ocean and air shipments in a single dashboard. You can see container status for ocean freight and flight/AWB status for air freight, all with automated updates and alerts.
Where does GoFreight's container tracking data come from?
From the world's top 10 ocean carriers, covering 85% of global container capacity, plus 35+ North American terminals, 5 Class I railroads and AIS data on 5,300+ vessels. Carrier events give you the milestones, terminals give you availability and last free day, rail covers the inland leg, and AIS follows the vessel itself. More than 27 million events a year land on the container record automatically, so nobody has to check carrier websites by hand.
Can my customers see tracking information?
Yes. GoFreight includes a branded customer portal where your shippers can track their own shipments, view documents, and receive automated status notifications, all without calling your team.
What is cargo management software?
Cargo management software provides freight forwarders with tools to manage the complete shipment lifecycle, from initial booking through documentation, tracking, and empty return. It handles both ocean and air cargo, including consolidation workflows.
Can I run ocean and air shipments in one platform?
Yes. Ocean covers FCL, LCL and consolidation, with container events from carriers, terminals and railroads, so the inland rail leg is tracked as well as the sea leg, through to empty return. Air covers HAWB and MAWB with flight milestones. Both run on one platform, so a customer with an ocean move and an air move sees both in the same portal, and you invoice both from the same place.
Can I manage LCL consolidations?
Yes. GoFreight supports LCL consolidation workflows, allowing you to group multiple shippers into a single container. The system handles house bills, master bills, and split invoicing.
How do automated tracking alerts work, and can they warn me before demurrage starts?
Yes. You configure alerts by event type, vessel arrival, customs clearance, delay, exception, and route each one to your team, to the customer through the portal, or both. The one worth setting up first is free time expiry: because GoFreight calculates last free day from live terminal and carrier events, the warning arrives early enough to arrange pickup. United Cargo Management cut demurrage costs by 53% this way.
