ICTSI updates container-tracking system at flagship facility

Terminal operator International Container Terminal Services Inc. recently updated the in-house container tracking system at its flagship facility, Manila International Container Terminal.

"The new version of the MICT Track and Trace further enhances the system’s overall functionality and value for both ICTSI and our clients at the MICT. As we have developed this system in-house, we could easily update and improve Track and Trace to become a more robust and dependable system," says Christian Lozano, commercial director for ICTSI.

Version 4.0 features the new email notification function that delivers container movement updates straight to a client’s inbox. Users just need to enter an email address where they want to receive updates. The email notification feature follows the release of the SMS notification system, which came out with version 3.0.

"The Track and Trace system was specifically built to provide clients with visibility, control and automation, allowing them to stay updated on the status of their containers," said Lozano. "We’ve noticed a significant increase in the number of users, daily search hits and unique container searches, which points to how the system has improved in terms of value and usability."
