International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) flagship, Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), updated Track and Trace, an online container tracking system developed in-house for MICT customers, to version 4.0, the company said in its press release.
Version 4.0 features the new email notification function that delivers container movement updates straight to a client’s inbox.
Users can search for import and export laden containers, as well as empty containers within MICT premises. Clients simply need to input the bill of lading and container number. Trucks’ time of entry and exit to and from MICT are recorded into the system. Clients need to enter the plate numbers of their trucks to monitor their movements within MICT in the last 30 minutes. ICTSI aims to improve this feature to provide real-time tracking by early 2015.
ICTSI aims to offer another mobile feature called Text and Trace. This feature will allow clients to receive container movement updates via text messaging.
