Stop Chasing.
Start Knowing.

IMS LMS puts every container's real-time status in front of your team — with proactive alerts, clean ERP data feeds, and zero manual entry. Know before you're asked.

Every Hour of Uncertainty
Costs Real Money

Late arrivals you didn't see coming. Demurrage charges that accumulated while your team waited for carrier emails. Customs holds that sat unaddressed for two days. Production lines that idled because a container was sitting at the terminal.

These aren't exceptional events — they're the daily reality of supply chain management without real-time visibility. IMS LMS changes the equation: you know the moment something changes, not when it's already too late to act.

You're Always
One Step Ahead

  • Live container status from departure to final delivery
  • Proactive alerts for ETA changes before they surprise you
  • Demurrage risk flagging with configurable day thresholds
  • Customs hold detection and notification
  • Clean data feed into your ERP, TMS, or WMS
  • Multi-carrier visibility from a single login
  • Searchable 7-year history for any container
  • On-time performance reporting by lane and carrier

Built for Importer
Operations Teams

Real-Time Container Status

Gate-in, vessel load, departure, transshipment, arrival, customs, delivery — every milestone from your ocean carriers in one place, updated live.

🔔

Demurrage Prevention

Configure alert thresholds by port and carrier. Get notified 48 hours before free time expires — not after the invoice arrives.

🔗

ERP / TMS Integration

Clean, validated logistics data fed directly into SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or your TMS via API or scheduled file extract. No manual re-entry, no transcription errors.

📊

Carrier Performance Reporting

On-time arrival rates by carrier, lane, and port. Exportable scorecards for annual carrier reviews or supply chain optimization projects.

👥

Team Collaboration

Share container views with customs brokers, warehouse teams, and production planners. Everyone sees the same live data — no more forwarding carrier emails.

📁

Document Management

B/L, commercial invoice, packing list, and customs documents attached to the container record. Find any document instantly by container, booking, or reference number.

Let IMS Run It
For You

IMS is a service, not just software. Beyond providing the platform, our team can manage your inbound logistics processes hands-on — acting as an extension of your operations group, backed by 30 years of experience across shippers, BCOs, forwarders, brokers, and ocean carriers.

You decide how involved we are — as much or as little as you want. Keep your team in the driver's seat, or hand us the day-to-day execution. Either way you retain total control and full visibility, and your IT group is freed from building and maintaining connections.

  • We build, enforce, and update your SOPs directly in the platform
  • Proactive exception monitoring and resolution on your behalf
  • Live rate & accessorial approval — only approved charges get invoiced
  • Carrier and warehouse scorecards, reviews, and continuous improvement
  • IMS facilitates all connectivity, reducing your IT workload and cost
