Ocean Freight Bookings

Auto-create ocean freight bookings from B/L data

Each processed B/L generates an ocean freight booking in your ERP with shipper, consignee, vessel, voyage, ports, container details, and cargo descriptions pre-populated. The booking links to the source B/L number and any associated purchase orders.

Multi-container B/Ls create a single booking with individual container line items, preserving per-container weights, seal numbers, and cargo breakdowns inside the ERP booking record.

Container Tracking

Real-time container tracking in your ERP

Container milestones — gate-in, vessel loading, transshipment, vessel discharge, gate-out — flow into your ERP automatically from carrier tracking APIs. Each event updates the booking record and triggers configurable notifications.

Estimated and actual arrival times are tracked at the container level, giving procurement and warehouse teams advance notice for receiving schedules and resource planning.

Demurrage & Detention

Automated demurrage monitoring and cost alerts

The integration tracks free-time allowances per container and carrier. As containers approach or exceed their free-time window at the port or depot, the system generates alerts with estimated demurrage and detention charges.

Demurrage costs are calculated using carrier tariff rates stored in your ERP and posted to the appropriate cost center, giving finance teams real-time visibility into potential overage charges before they become invoices.

FAQ

Common questions about B/L ERP Integration

Which ERP systems are supported?
KabyTech integrates with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and any ERP with REST API or EDI import capabilities. Custom connectors are available for proprietary systems.
How does container tracking work in the ERP?
Carrier tracking APIs (Maersk, MSC, COSCO, etc.) feed milestone events into your ERP booking records automatically. Each event updates the container status and triggers configurable notifications.
How is demurrage calculated?
The system tracks each container's free-time allowance based on carrier tariff rates stored in your ERP. When free time is approaching or exceeded, alerts are generated with estimated charges.
Can it link B/L bookings to purchase orders?
Yes. The integration can match B/L data (shipper, cargo description, PO references) to existing purchase orders in your ERP and link the freight booking automatically.
Does it handle both FCL and LCL shipments?
Yes. FCL shipments create container-level bookings. LCL shipments create bookings at the cargo-lot level within a shared container, with proportional weight and measurement tracking.
