Advantages of the Flowfox Container Release

Time-saving

Manual effort is reduced by 90 %.

Error prevention

Manual errors will be reduced due to our automated processes.

Cost-saving

Unnecessary claims due to late release are avoided.

Revenue-increasing

The digital and automated release process enables additional revenue streams by opening up a new point of sale.

Customer-friendly

Containers can be released in real time. Key customers can get an API access, whereby the releases are transmitted directly into the customers’ TMS. Full transparency helps to avoid dead freight.

Secure

Sensitive information such as PINs are stored in a highly secured database so that neither ocean carrier employees nor Flowfox employees can access them. This way, we ensure that blackmail of ocean carrier employees is no longer possible and PINs are only transmitted via the encrypted Flowfox system.

Additional Features

Secure PIN Release

We create PINs, store them in an extra strong protected database and communicate the PINs together with the release to importers and terminals. Neither Flowfox nor the shipping company’s employees can read these PINs.

This way we make PIN handling significantly more secure and prevent blackmailing of ocean carrier employees.

Container Flow Optimization

Within the container release it is possible for us to query additional data points in a structured way for the Ocean Carrier. Here the focus is on the when and where: We can collect the drop-off depot and drop-off date to reduce empty container repositioning. It is also possible to record the gate-out date and the next mode of transport in order to reduce container moves in the terminal.

PIN Free Release Integration

We support any form of innovation to make container release more secure. Thus, our system is compatible to integrate with common PIN-free terminal release solutions, such as our partner t-mining, Nxtport or ROboB by Dakosy.
