Edifact solution for the container industry
Container operators and shipping lines are more than ever demanding partners to deliver fast and reliable container movement information.

In order to comply with the increasing demand for instant and accurate reporting of container movements it is necessary for terminals and operators to do away with manual, time consuming and error prone procedures. There is a need for an automated solution.

Replacing manual procedures and implementing EDIFACT formatted messages and routines in existing terminal operations need not be a costly and time consuming effort.

To facilitate the implementation of a cost effective and automated EDI solution that will allow you to meet your customers’ requirements, InPort and Bestshore have now launched the “OETS - Operational EDI Turnkey Solution”.

OETS facilitates and delivers EDIFACT formatted messages to your customers.

Multiple customers with multiple formats
With OETS you are able to use one solution for handling the EDIFACT requirements and the formats of your many different customers. All standard EDIFACT messages following international standards can be handled and unique message requirements can be developed and added quickly.

The application is accessed via the Internet and no local technical setup is required. With the rapid installation you furthermore avoid the high cost that often comes with the implementation of an efficient EDI solution.
