ITOS
Automations

Reports, reminders and tracking run on their own.

ITOS runs the repetitive parts of the operation on a schedule: it sends reports to customers, reminds payments and missing documents, and updates container information. Every send is logged.

Operations Report

Shipments, open orders, pending decisions, open documents and upcoming payments are compiled into one PDF report.

Missing Document Reminder

Container Tracking

With a tracking service connected, shipments are checked regularly; new events and ETA are written to the shipment. If the ETA moves from its first value, the delay is calculated and shown as an alert on the panel home screen.

How it works

When
Checked every 30 minutes; shipments not updated for 6 hours are refreshed

Due Date Rules

Dates in the payment plan follow rules. A factory payment can be due on the proforma date, one week before the ready date or on a manual date; the freight invoice due date is calculated from the container plan’s arrival.
