Trip Planner
Transport management for small and medium operators — fleet management, voyage planning, cargo booking and tracking, deviation monitoring and integrated port cost estimation powered by AISCore and HarborCosts.
Transport management built for growing operators
Trip Planner is a transport management system built for small and medium shipping and transport operators. Receive cargo bookings, confirm available capacity, assign cargo to voyages and keep customers informed throughout the transport cycle — from booking confirmation to delivery notification. Manage your fleet, plan voyages, monitor deviations and estimate port costs, all from one system without enterprise TMS complexity.
Cargo management is at the core of the system. Each booking is tied to a voyage and port call, giving you full visibility on what is loaded where, who the customer is and what the delivery status is. The system tracks weight, packages, pallets and containers per call, monitors capacity utilization in real time and detects schedule deviations automatically. Operators with regular routes can set up route schedules with auto-generated timetables. Integrated with AISCore for live vessel positions and HarborCosts for automatic port cost estimation.
