Efficient container management and real-time visibility into ETD and ETA

Promentum's shipping module for Uniconta makes the management of international shipments simple and clear. Logistics staff and buyers can register container data, ETD/ETA and corresponding purchase order lines centrally with this add-on. No more loose Excel sheets - with one click you update multiple orders when a ship is delayed or arrives earlier.

The module records the Bill of Lading, links documents to containers or shipments, and provides instant visibility into what is in transit, by container or shipment.

Key functionalities

  • Complete registration of containers and shipments
    Register the container, ship or flight number, Bill of Lading and link directly to open purchase order lines.

  • Real-time ETD/ETA management
    Keep track of when containers leave (ETD) and arrive (ETA). A change? Update all linked order lines with a single click.

  • Seamless cooperation with other Uniconta
    The module integrates perfectly with:

    • ATP module - Recalculates expected delivery dates and alerts customers in case of delays.

    • 3-Way Matching - Invoices can be matched to specific shipments rather than just purchase orders.

  • Receipt registration from loading
    Instead of looking up individual order lines, register directly at the container which goods have been fully or partially received.

  • Document management by container
    Link bills of lading, certificates and other documents directly to the relevant shipment.
