Problem
The traditional container pick-up process at ports involves multiple stakeholders and paper-based processes, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and security vulnerabilities. Lack of real-time visibility and manual verification steps contribute to bottlenecks and increased operational costs for all parties involved.
Solution
NxtPort provides a digital platform called Certified Pick up (CPu) that streamlines the import container release process at ports. The platform offers real-time status monitoring, access to customs information, and a fully digital release process, eliminating the need for paper-based documentation. By using biometric authentication and a validated release process, CPu ensures a secure and transparent workflow for all stakeholders, including terminals, shipping agents, and transport companies. This system optimizes container pick-up by rail, inland navigation, or truck, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective supply chain.
