FreightDATA Software and eModal On-Line Interface

FreightDATA Software and eModal develop On-Line Interface

FreightDATA Software, Inc., a leading transportation management software provider, today announced it has successfully interfaced it’s Harbor Drayage/Intermodal application with eModal, North America’s Port Community System, providing inbound container availability information from 46 maritime terminals. By developing this interface, FreightDATA customers will have an automatic update from the eModal system directly into the FreightDATA system. "Both FreightDATA and eModal customers can significantly reduce the number of hours spent by their employees manually tracing containers in and out of the harbor", said Gunnar Gose, Sales & Marketing Manager, Western Region with eModal.

The FreightDATA/eModal On-line Interface traces the customers containers so trucking companies can schedule equipment and drivers and set appointments to pickup containers at the terminal facilities. The FreightDATA system submits a request to the eModal system regarding the status of their containers. The eModal system replies with, among other available information:

Availability, Customs and Freight Status Information
Last Free-Day
In-Gate/Out-Gate
