When a container arrives at the rail ramp, you don’t have much time to pick it up before demurrage starts accruing. That’s why it’s important to have accurate visibility into ETAs, LFDs, and availability.
Our rail data has been battle tested by the best in the business. So instead of chasing information, you can rely on our alerts to let you know when things are not going to plan. With exception-based alerts, operations teams can focus on staying ahead instead of playing catch-up.
- Save time and improve the efficiency of your team
Remove the need to manually check rail sites. Get accurate data delivered automatically from the rail carrier into your team’s operating dashboards: ETD, ETA, LFD, sightings, availability, street dwell, and more. - Stay proactive with exception-based alerts
Improve customer satisfaction with the ability to communicate exceptions upstream. Get notified about delays, failures to load, holds, ETA changes, availability, detention risk, border crossings, and more
"OpenTrack has allowed total visibility into our international Logistics Supply Chain. The greatest benefit of utilizing the visibility tool is knowing exactly when containers are available in the USA ports and rails—and the ability to track how many days a container has been out for delivery. OpenTrack has allowed us to dramatically drive down demurrage, detention and chassis expense."

Here are just some of the notifications you can configure to make your operations team lightning fast and drive down demurrage and detention:
Shipment Delays
Be the first to know when a shipment is delayed. Whether there’s a failure to load, or the train is delayed, or the vessel discharge got pushed back — OpenTrack is constantly monitoring to notify your team right away, enabling you to take early action.
Failure to Load
It’s frustrating when a carrier rolls your shipment to a new vessel or train. It’s even more frustrating if you don’t know about it until days or weeks later. With OpenTrack, you can be notified immediately when a Rolled Cargo Incident is detected.
No Spottings
Stay on top of potential delays before they ruin your day. OpenTrack detects when a container hasn’t been spotted in transit on rail and alerts you immediately. Save time searching carrier sites, prevent costly delays, and improve customer satisfaction with timely No Spottings Alerts.
Availability
When a container is available, you need to know right away. Get notified about available containers in real time, so you can prevent demurrage and keep your drayage operations running smoothly.
Street Dwell and Container Return
To drive down detention fees, you need to know which containers are at risk. That’s what’s included in OpenTrack’s Street Dwell Alerts. We let you know which containers are at risk of detention so you can prioritize their return.
