Classification of cargo

 

TrackingCargo classifies each item in inventory that is transiting in the ports according to a code string and considers it as one single classification key.

Code string:

Port - Vessel - Booking - Order - Mark - Lot/ID - Dim1 - Dim2 - Dim3 - Unit

This coding permits us to manage efficiently any type of cargo without any compilation limitation since the codes forming the string are independent from the classification key. Coding link diagram  

Therefore, a multitude of reports may be generated by the system:

Report 1

Booking Report    pdf
This report compiles the quantity, the volume and/or the weight for each Booking and gives a total per vessel and by port.

Report 2

Compilation per Mark    pdf
This report compiles the quantity, the volume and/or the weight per Mark, and gives a total per Order, Booking and by Port.

Report 3

Compilation per Size    pdf
This report compiles the quantity, the volume and/or the weight per size, and gives a total per Order, Booking and per Port.

 

The Dimensions

The different types of cargoes that we handle forced us to make a distinction between two types of products: packaged products and single unit products.

The packaged products (in bundle, palletized, unitized, etc.)
Three dimensions are reserved for the pieces, boxes, bags or parts of one same package and three other dimensions for the pieces as a whole. An additional box (Unit) is required for the number of pieces per package.

The single unit products (block, coil, roll, etc.)
Three dimensions are reserved for the single unit products.
