OpenTrack currently covers all North American import containers and combines the best and most accurate data fields from the following sources to present the most accurate source of truth — all on one platform:

• All major ocean carriers
• All major North American terminals
• All North American rail carriers
• Vessel schedules
• Vessel AIS tracking providers
• Third party data sources
• Proprietary data sources

OpenTrack requires only the Master Bill of Lading, Container Number and Ocean Carrier SCAC to initiate tracking on any North American import container. There is never a need to receive or store any sensitive business information.

OpenTrack standardizes, enriches and reports the most accurate milestone events, tracking data, ocean carrier, terminal and rail carrier data on all North American import containers. Ask us for a free guide to see an overview of all of the data fields that we report.

OpenTrack’s lightweight API requires only three data fields to initiate tracking and is easily mapped and integrated into most TMS platforms in just a few days. Using Cargowise? Ask us about our integration and receive a free guide to get up and running in 48 hours.

OpenTrack delivers tracking updates multiple times per day using proprietary software that detects the best and most critical times to deliver new data.

OpenTrack is priced on a per-container usage basis and scales up and down to suit your business needs and seasonality. Billing is available on monthly or annual terms with volume-based discounts for annual commitments. There are no additional fees for API usage, additional users or implementation support.

OpenTrack provides complete coverage across all North American rail carriers, including all Class 1 railroads (BNSF, Union Pacific, Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, CSX, Norfolk Southern, Kansas City Southern), plus Class 2 and 3 regional carriers. We track complex interchange routes where containers move between multiple carriers.

OpenTrack delivers 80% more accurate ETAs compared to carrier-provided estimates by combining direct carrier data with proprietary predictive models. Our algorithms account for interchange delays, seasonal patterns, and historical performance to give you arrival predictions you can actually plan around.

Last Free Day (LFD) is the final day you can pick up a container from the rail ramp before demurrage charges begin. OpenTrack proactively alerts you to LFD dates and changes, helping you avoid costly demurrage fees and optimize your drayage scheduling.

Yes. OpenTrack's granular rail sighting data automatically captures border crossing events with precise timestamps and locations. This is critical for customs compliance, duty calculations, and coordinating cross-border drayage for IPI shipments entering through Canada or Mexico.

OpenTrack delivers comprehensive IPI rail data including: real-time rail sightings with locations and timestamps, predictive ETAs, Last Free Day (LFD) alerts, availability notices, chassis assignments, ramp arrival/departure milestones, border crossing events, interchange updates, and exception alerts for delays or issues.

OpenTrack offers seamless integrations with major TMS platforms and provides a robust API for custom integrations. You can access IPI rail data directly in your existing systems without learning a new platform. We also offer automated reporting and email processing for teams without TMS integration.

OpenTrack updates rail tracking data in real-time through direct integrations with rail carriers. You receive updates as soon as carriers report new milestones, sightings, or status changes—often before the carrier's own customer portals are updated.

Domestic rail visibility provides real-time tracking and status updates for equipment moving via rail within North America, separate from international intermodal (IPI) movements.

You only need the equipment number. OpenTrack makes it simple—no booking numbers or complex reference codes required.

Yes. OpenTrack's Domestic Rail Visibility tracks both laden containers with freight and empty equipment being repositioned, giving you complete asset visibility.

OpenTrack covers all North American Class 1, 2, and 3 rail carriers for comprehensive domestic rail visibility.

Domestic Rail Visibility seamlessly integrates with your existing OpenTrack platform, allowing you to track IPI, export, and domestic rail shipments all in one unified system.

OpenTrack leverages direct carrier data and proprietary predictive models to deliver highly accurate ETAs, even for complex routes with multiple interchanges.
