Visualize logistics with AI to enhance decision-making in the supply chain.
Portcast is a logistics DX platform that utilizes AI and real-time data to visualize the status of maritime and air transportation. By integrating vessel and aircraft location information, port information, and transportation data, it allows for centralized tracking of cargo location and transportation status at the container level. Furthermore, by visualizing risks such as high-precision ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) predictions and port congestion or transportation delays through AI, it supports logistics personnel in making quick decisions. It reduces the hassle of individually checking information from multiple shipping companies and forwarders, contributing to the efficiency of management tasks using Excel and email. It enables proactive responses to transportation delays and optimizes inventory and production planning, thereby enhancing the entire supply chain. Portcast solves logistics challenges such as "not knowing where the cargo is," "frequent changes in arrival schedules," and "responding only after delays occur" through the power of AI and data. With Portcast, logistics moves from being "visible" to "predictable."
