How to visualize the shipping route with a Logistics Route Planner
The shipping route planner tool’s functionality is easy to navigate. All you need to do is input the number of your container (reference number or order number) and fill out the description form.
After you are headed to the table with loading and discharge points. In the location type section, you can choose the types for your preferred route (Sea Port, Land/Warehouse, Airport, Rail Station). If you're looking to streamline your logistics, consider integrating route optimization software. Next, you need to specify the necessary transit details and dates by completing the Place and Event data fields. The results will appear right on the map.
With SeaRates, your customers can now visualize the entire shipping route, including origin, destination, and any potential stopovers.
When you are done, you can share the link with your clients, who can view the route without logging in to SeaRates.
You can also provide your customers with a unique number to paste into Container Tracking. SeaRates Route Planner and Container Tracking work in synergy, using the same shipping ID created in Route Planner. Add a Tracking System to your subscription and let your customers track their routes with full visibility.
