API CONNECTIONS

Your data on your terms.

You have existing systems, workflows, and processes that successfully enable you to manage your supply chain. We honor your success.

Rather than be a gatekeeper of your data forcing you to change the way you operate, using only our platform, we provide integration options which allow you to get your shipment data into your existing systems, building functionality to compliment the workflows your team already knows and uses.
Container Analytics

Shipment trends that drive decisions.

Quickly see your trends over time for statistics such as ETA and ETD volumes, your various port pairings, average transit times, and more with our pre-built container analytics reports.

What makes our data different?

Our predictive and tracking data is provided through our partnership with Gnosis Freight, the industry-leader in container lifecycle management. Not only is this data given to you for full visibility, your dedicated ASF team uses it to schedule and manage your container deliveries once they arrive. Our visibility into the container status helps us to reduce unnecessary demurrage and detention charges, and dispute invalid charges when they occur so you don’t have to.
