Multimodal Freight Tracking- A Core Business
Growth Factor
Tracking all shipments, whether transported through land, air, or ocean is becoming a fundamental need for
traders. In recent times custom freight tracking has become a valuable asset for sellers, shippers, freight
forwarders, buyers, and customers alike. It comes as a great help to meet customer demands for faster
deliveries by predicting delays. Better insight into shipment tracking reduces monetary losses by facilitating
better risk management. Let’s understand how a cargo tracking solution adds a positive impact to business
growth.
What is Multimodal/Intermodal Shipment?
When a shipment is transported from one location to another, it might have to travel on land, water, and air. This
will involve the use of more than one mode of transportation. Such a shipment is termed multimodal shipment.
What Causes Delays in Multimodal Shipments?
Several stumbling blocks can occur during multimodal transport of a crago, causing delays in delivery and
subsequent monetary losses. Some of these are:
1. Navigational delays
2. Delays due to weather conditions
3. Lack of manpower or resources
4. Cargo theft or loss
5. Hazards during transit
6. Delays in custom clearances
Flow tracking the shipment from one location to another manually can be a laborious task. Tracing goods,
containers, and conveyances from source to destination involves multiple checkpoints. Real-time tracking requires
a global positioning system and radio signal identification devices. It is also important to gain insights from the
entire supply chain to further improve your services. To simplify this complex process, integrated cargo tracking
solutions like CRAGOES Flow by DP World are some of the highly advanced tools that can simplify & streamline
the whole process.
How To Choose The Right Cargo Tracking Solution?
While most airline and shipping companies have individual shipment tracking systems, they do not work for
multimodal shipments. Large companies dealing with multiple vendors need more sophisticated systems like
CARGOES Flow. Enabling end-to-end tracking, advanced tracking tools extend tremendous benefits to such
businesses are:
1. End-to-end Tracking: Whether through trucks, trains, flights, or ships, from the source to
destination is an absolute non-negotiable for container tracking vendors.
2. Supply chain visibility: Intermodal tracking gives a clear view of the entire supply chain facilitating
a better understanding of the availability of products for every purchase order.
3. Real-time visibility: A system that allows real time tracking of a shipment will be beneficial to
calculate the ETA to its destination.
4. Insights: Businesses get access to key points that provide analysis and precise data of the current
process enabling proactive planning with key decision makers.
The flow of cargo can be smooth only when the hindrances are identified. Using CARGOES highly avant-
garde tracking tool, everything from real-time cma tracking to accuracy, and reduced timelines are all
taken care of effortlessly. Custom freight tracking can prove to be a core area contributing to the growth
