FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about tracking your shipments

What is a Bill of Lading (BL) and how do I track it?

A Bill of Lading (BL) is a crucial legal document issued by a carrier to acknowledge receipt of cargo for shipment. It serves three primary functions: as a receipt for shipped goods, a contract between the shipper and carrier, and a document of title that can be used to transfer ownership.

To track your Bill of Lading, simply enter the BL number (typically starts with a 4-letter carrier code followed by numbers) into our tracking system. Our platform automatically identifies the issuing carrier and retrieves real-time status updates, including vessel details, port milestones, and estimated delivery dates.

What is an Air Waybill (AWB) and how does tracking work?

An Air Waybill (AWB) is a non-negotiable transport document that covers the carriage of cargo from airport to airport. Unlike a Bill of Lading, an AWB is not a document of title and cannot be used to transfer ownership. It contains an 11-digit number (3-digit airline code + 8-digit serial number) that uniquely identifies your air cargo shipment.

AWB tracking provides real-time flight information, including departure/arrival times, current location, customs clearance status, and delivery confirmation. Our system connects with 50+ airlines globally to ensure comprehensive coverage for both passenger airline cargo and dedicated freight carriers.

How do I find and track my container number?

Container numbers follow the ISO 6346 standard: 4 letters (owner code) + 6 numbers + 1 check digit (e.g., MSCU1234567). You can find this number on your shipping documents, booking confirmation, or physically marked on the container itself.

Our tracking system monitors container movements through every milestone: gate-in at origin, vessel loading, transshipment ports, discharge, and final delivery. We provide visibility into both merchant haulage (carrier-controlled) and carrier haulage segments of your container's journey.

How accurate and current is your tracking data?

Our tracking data comes directly from carrier EDI feeds and APIs, refreshing every 15 minutes for ocean freight and every 5 minutes for air cargo. This ensures you receive updates almost immediately after carriers post new milestones.

We maintain 99.9% data accuracy through direct integration with carrier systems, automated data validation, and cross-referencing multiple data sources. Our predictive analytics also provide estimated delays based on historical patterns and current port congestion data.

Which shipping lines and airlines do you support?

We support 25+ ocean carriers including all major shipping lines: Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Evergreen, Yang Ming, HMM, ZIM, and regional carriers. For air freight, we cover 50+ airlines including dedicated cargo carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL) and passenger airlines with cargo services.

Our coverage expands monthly as we add new carrier integrations. If your carrier isn't currently supported, contact us—we can often add new carriers within 48 hours based on demand.

Do you offer API access for developers?

Yes, we provide comprehensive REST and GraphQL APIs for seamless integration into your TMS, ERP, or custom applications. Our APIs support batch tracking, webhook notifications, and historical data retrieval with response times under 200ms.

Developer features include detailed API documentation, SDKs for popular languages (Python, JavaScript, Java), sandbox environment for testing, and dedicated technical support. API access starts with our Pro plan at $19/month.

What's included in the free plan vs paid plans?

Our free plan includes 3 trackings per month, basic email notifications, and access to real-time tracking data. It's perfect for individual shippers or small businesses with occasional tracking needs.

Paid plans starting at $19/month include 20+ trackings, API access, advanced analytics, priority support, bulk tracking, custom alerts, Excel exports, and team collaboration features. Enterprise plans offer unlimited tracking, dedicated support, and custom integrations.
