Appointments managed start to finish.
Every terminal portal watched around the clock. Slot opens: booked in under a second. Hold blocks the pickup: right contact notified before you know it landed. Terminal cancels: re-sniped before you see the email. The appointment is never your problem.
How it works
LFD drives the appointment queue, not who emailed last
Every container tracked against its LFD in real time. As deadline pressure builds, appointment priority escalates automatically.
Hold blocking pickup: broker notified before you even know it landed
CBP hold, freight hold, chassis hold: any can appear after discharge while LFD runs. We catch it immediately, draft a notification to the broker, and queue the appointment to fire the moment the hold clears.
Every terminal portal watched around the clock
APM Newark, eModal, Maher, PNCT, GCT: each has its own release pattern. We monitor all of them, 24 hours a day.
Slot releases: we book before the next carrier logs in
APM drops batches overnight; best slots gone in seconds. We book before the next carrier finishes their login.
Appointment locked: driver notified, dispatch queued
Slot confirmed. Driver gets the updated DO, chassis days start tracking, dispatch queued to fire, all under a second.
Before Doublefast: slots missed, holds caught late, cancellations discovered too late
Terminals release slots between midnight and 6am. Your team is asleep. Holds post overnight with no notification. By morning, the best windows are gone and containers are burning Last Free Days.
After Doublefast: every slot captured, every hold surfaced, every cancellation caught
Window appears: booked in under a second. Hold posts: right person notified immediately. Cancellation detected: re-sniped before you open your email. LFD exposure drops to zero.
Built for the real world.
APM Newark drops its batch at midnight; early windows gone in under two minutes. eModal releases 200 slots at 2am for multiple terminals simultaneously. Maher scatters slots with no pattern. CBP hold posts overnight: broker notified, appointment queued to fire the moment it clears. Confirmed appointment cancelled with no notice, common at APM and eModal. We detect the cancellation in seconds and re-snipe immediately.

CBP customs hold
CBP places a hold at discharge; terminal blocks pickup, LFD clock keeps running. We detect it immediately, draft a notification to the customs broker, and queue the appointment to fire the moment it clears.
Container still on vessel
DO arrives before discharge. LFD won't post until after the vessel berths. We monitor discharge status and capture the LFD the moment the terminal sets it.
Chassis split
Container available at PNCT, chassis pool tapped out, so the driver deadheads to Port Newark. We detect the split, adjust the move sequence, and bill the extra chassis time exactly.
Appointment cancelled day-of
Terminal cancels a confirmed slot with no notice, common at APM Newark and eModal. We detect it within seconds and re-snipe immediately.
LFD change after vessel berths
Steamship line adjusts free time; terminal portal and steamship line website show different dates. We pull both, take the tighter date, and re-sort the dispatch queue.
Accessorial mismatch
Redelivery logged on paper, not in the app. Fuel surcharge at 15% when the contract says 12%. We reconcile every accessorial against the delivery confirmation before the invoice goes out.
