Primary use case

See how a supplier really operates, before you commit

You are considering a new supplier, but you have heard their loading infrastructure is not reliable. Rather than take their word for it, look at their dock yourself: how often vessels call, what gets loaded, how long operations take and where the cargo goes. It is in a supplier's interest to paint a good picture. The dock record is not.
