How Often Should Container Data Be Updated?
About This Video
When it comes to container tracking, how quickly do you really need updates? Matt Turner, Head of Data at Terminal49, explains:
"It depends on the milestone and who you ask. Some care about knowing when cargo is loaded because billing or ISF filings depend on it. Others prioritize updates when a container reaches a terminal or rail head because immediate action is needed."
Turner continues, "When containers are on the water, hourly updates are usually fine. But when a container becomes available at a terminal, we aim for sub-hour updates because the risk of delays and fees is much higher."
Terminal49 adjusts update frequencies based on what matters most, ensuring you get the right data at the right time. Watch the full video for more insights!
