Terminal49 offers two ways to track your shipments from origin to destination.
  1. Terminal49 DataSync. Get tables full of fresh information delivered into your current data system. Easy to set up, and perfect for complementing your current data.
  2. Terminal49 API. Connect directly with the API, pull data for specific shipments and containers, and get updates via webhooks.
If you already have a data store that feeds the rest of your system, DataSync is probably what you want.

What can I use Terminal49 data for?

Here are just a few of the data points Terminal49 returns and possible use-cases.
DATAEXAMPLE USE CASE
Destination ETASurface ETA changes to your relevant teams as they’re reported
Last Free Day and terminal status¹Track containers approaching LFD and prioritize dispatching
Fees and holds at destination terminalClear your cargo to keep you containers moving

How it works

All you need to provide are your BOL numbers and SCACs. Terminal49 looks up the shipment with the carrier and populates shipment details including containers. Once the shipment is set up, Terminal49 periodically checks with the carrier and the destination terminal. If any of the details of your shipment or containers change (for example, if the ETA changes), Terminal49 ensures you’re always kept up to date.
  • If you’re using DataSync, Terminal49 updates the data in your system
  • If you’re using the API, Terminal49 posts the shipment to the webhook you provide
