Container Visibility & COntrol

From pallet building on the warehouse floor to real-time container tracking across every ocean - TBO4 Manages your entire export and import container workflow in a single, unified platform.

Pack Every Cubic Metre. Perfectly.

Export Container Loading

TBO4 integrates directly with EasyCargo via a REST API to bring automated 3D container load planning into your warehouse workflow. Once orders are picked and palletised, the system calculates the optimal arrangement of cargo — accounting for weight limits, stacking rules, fragility, and destination sequence — and renders it as an interactive 3D load plan your team can follow step by step.

• Automated load optimisation calculates the best arrangement in seconds, maximising cubic utilisation and minimising wasted space

• 3D interactive visualisation lets warehouse supervisors review, rotate, and share load plans before a single carton is move

• Step-by-step load reports guide floor staff through the precise loading sequence, reducing errors and rework

• Weight distribution checks validate axle limits for truck loads and net weight compliance for sea containers

• Shareable load plans can be sent to freight agents, customs brokers, or customers via PDF or live 3D link

• Carton, pallet, and mixed cargo types all supported, with constraint rules per SKU (non-stackable, no-tilt, keep upright)

Build Smarter Pallets. Pick Faster

Pallet Builder

TBO4's Pallet Builder guides warehouse staff through the process of consolidating picked cartons onto pallets destined for a specific container. Intelligent logic groups orders by destination, weight capacity, and container load plan — so every pallet is built to fit precisely where it needs to go.

• Directed pallet building workflows guide staff step by step, eliminating guesswork and reducing re-palletisation

• Multi-order consolidation allows multiple customer orders to be combined onto a single pallet, maximising density

• Weight and height constraints are enforced in real time, preventing overloaded or unstable pallets from leaving the floor

• Pallet labels with barcodes, destination, and content details are printed automatically at build completion

• Scan-to-confirm validation ensures every carton is accounted for before the pallet is sealed and wrapped

• Seamless handoff to the container loading workflow — pallets are immediately visible in the EasyCargo 3D plan
  

Know Where Every Container Is. Always.

TBO4 connects to the SeaRates Container Tracking API to give your team — and your customers — real-time visibility of every container, whether it's on the water heading to you, or on its way to your customer. Track by container number, Bill of Lading, or booking reference across hundreds of global shipping lines.

• Inbound container tracking lets your receiving team prepare dock resources ahead of arrival, reducing congestion and delays

• Outbound tracking gives your customers real-time shipment visibility without calls or emails to your service team

• Track by container number, Bill of Lading, or booking reference — TBO4 auto-detects the shipping line

• Milestone event alerts notify stakeholders when containers depart, arrive at transshipment ports, or clear customs

• Predictive ETA data flows directly into your inbound receipting and outbound delivery planning

• Full journey visibility — from gate-out empty through to final delivery — with vessel, voyage, and port detail
