What it does

The connector turns shipment questions into calls to 10 public Terminal49 tools. It reads account data and starts tracking only when you ask it to.

  • Live tracking Q&A

    Find a container, open its current Terminal49 record and ask follow-up questions in the same conversation.

  • Demurrage and LFD checks

    Check last free day, pickup availability and holds before a container starts accruing demurrage.

  • Delay analysis

    Review carrier milestones and route legs to understand where a shipment changed or stalled.

  • Fleet views

    List the shipments, containers and tracking requests available in your Terminal49 account.
