How it works

1

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.

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. Confirmed appointment cancelled morning-of with no notice, common at APM and eModal. We detect the cancellation in seconds and re-snipe immediately.

* Estimates based on live deployment data. Read the case study →

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.
