What Customers are Saying

Turvo

“Our partnership with OpenTrack combines Turvo's Collaborative TMS with OpenTrack's ocean freight visibility to enable logistics service providers and shippers to reduce transportation costs including demurrage and per diem fees, improve on-time deliveries and create efficiencies throughout the supply chain for a better overall, more connected customer experience.”

Jeff Graan
Vice President of Solution Engineering
Oceanwide Logistics

“With carrier reliability at only 38%, we needed an ocean visibility tool that set us apart and gave our customers the information they needed to make critical decisions. OpenTrack fit that requirement perfectly!”

Bonnie
Vice President of Business Development & Customer Service
NFI Industries

“While we’ve had other visibility tools in the past, we didn’t have a lot of confidence in the accuracy or timeliness of the data we were receiving. We’re excited to partner with OpenTrack to reduce time auditing data, increase our operational efficiency, and overall provide a great experience for our customers.”

Steve Browne
Director of Operations
Freight Flex

“We’ve been very pleased with the data quality and visibility we receive from OpenTrack. Bringing everything into one tracking system has allowed us to be proactive and less reactive to inbound containers. We also API connected our business intelligence tool to OpenTrack which has significantly increased our capabilities.”

Reed Rivers
Vice President Sales
Port X

“Our goal at Port X is to provide a gold level of service in the domestic transportation industry, and one of the ways we do that is by using the best technology available. The OpenTrack platform makes the tracking process significantly more efficient for our operators that used to spend too much of their time checking different sources for the most up-to-date tracking information.”

Tom Zeis
Director of Turvo and Continuous Improvement
OpenTrack customer

“OpenTrack has allowed total visibility into our international logistics supply chain. The greatest benefit of utilizing the visibility tool is knowing exactly when containers are available in the USA ports / rails and the ability to track how many days a container has been out for delivery. OpenTrack has allowed us to dramatically drive down demurrage, detention and chassis expense.”

Jack Conaghan
Director of Logistics
