Description
COSCO Shipping is one of the ocean carriers 360TradeX books directly through, and this integration keeps every container booking, bill of lading and vessel milestone synced automatically between COSCO Shipping's system and your own operations dashboard. Rather than chasing shipping lines for status updates by email, your team and your clients can see exactly where a container is on the water, what customs paperwork is outstanding, and when it will realistically hit port, all without a single manual check-in.
What you can do with
COSCO Shipping
Book containers directly Full and less-than-container-load bookings with COSCO Shipping can be created straight from 360TradeX, pulling shipper, consignee and cargo details automatically.
Track shipments in real time Vessel position, port calls and estimated arrival dates update continuously, giving clients an accurate ETA instead of a vague shipping-week estimate.
Retrieve customs documentation Bills of lading, packing lists and other clearance paperwork are pulled the moment they're issued, so nothing gets held up at the border for missing documents.
Receive delay alerts Port congestion, vessel rollovers and schedule changes are flagged the moment they're reported, giving your team time to notify clients before they ask.
COSCO Shipping
triggers
Booking confirmed Fires when COSCO Shipping confirms a container booking, passing booking number, vessel, container type and sailing date to the next step.
Container status changed Fires on every meaningful milestone - gate-in, loaded, departed, arrived, gate-out - so downstream teams always work from the latest position.
ETA updated Fires whenever the carrier revises the estimated arrival date, useful for automatically re-notifying clients and adjusting downstream fulfillment timelines.
