Challenges with
Ocean Freight
Visibility
Today, the most common method of tracking ocean freight or freight moving through inland waterways is through transport visibility aggregation, leading to:
Unverifiable, time-delayed, and unactionable information about the products and orders.
Challenge #2Visibility at an order level with no insight into network disruptions caused by individual containers or a group.
Challenge #3Complete lack of information on the condition & security of the cargo.
How Roambee Works for Ocean Freight Visibility & Intelligence
Better visibility by combining order information with real-time location and condition data from IoT sensors programmed for ocean hauls and data streams from port operations, vessels, marine traffic, freight forwarders, and carrier data aggregation platforms.
Step 2: Alerts & Signals
Built on verifiable visibility, alerts & signals empower better decisions and drive automation. For example, a business signal about missed containers is derived by sensing milestone anomalies, enabling you to minimize ocean cargo delays.
Step 3: Intelligence
Use AI-powered network insights & foresights for better supply chain planning & execution. For example, score on-time, in-full (OTIF) performance by lane, port, and freight forwarder and forecast this key performance indicator (KPI).

- Handling and security risk predictions at ports, transshipment locations, and during the first/last mile.
Success
Story
One of the world's largest, US-headquartered electronics manufacturer transformed their ocean shipping operations to deliver predictably. Roambee's intelligence helped identify the top 4 of their 54 lanes globally that contributed to more than 55% of their dwell time (idle time) when estimated on a "per mile" basis. It enabled them to further identify the root cause and location where dwell times occurred on these four lanes. The result was an improvement in average ocean shipment transit times by more than 20% on an aggregate basis and proportionally lower inventory holding costs at distribution centers catering to the last mile.
