Advent eModal (AeM), a port community system for the intermodal supply chain, has announced the successful implementation of its eModal® Community Portal (eCP) at Florida International Terminal (FIT) in Port Everglades.
This deployment incorporates the advanced PreGate and Fee Manager applications into the eCP system, significantly improving port operations and intermodal logistics. The eModal platform seamlessly integrates these applications into the Community Portal, enhancing cargo visibility, streamlining fee payments, and efficiently managing appointment scheduling.
These tools will automate FIT’s container terminal operations, boost cargo handling efficiency, and reduce turnaround times for the terminal and its stakeholders.
“We are thrilled to see Florida International Terminal leverage our eModal platform following the successful implementation of our appointment systems at Port Everglades Terminal, LLC. This implementation is a testament to FIT’s commitment to optimizing operational efficiency and improving service delivery for motor carriers and truckers across the region,” stated Hilda M. Rodriguez, customer success manager at Advent eModal.
The system’s one-stop-shop capability is crucial for managing the lifecycle of containers and payments. Dispatchers can now better manage drivers’ schedules, improving coordination of moves across terminals using the eModal system. The deployment also includes Tideworks Technology’s advanced terminal operating system, Mainsail 10. AeM’s integration with Mainsail 10 allows operators to gain deeper insights throughout the terminal.
As more terminals in South Florida adopt AeM’s Community Portal, the increased efficiency and ease of operations for motor operators will significantly enhance the regional shipping ecosystem. AeM remains committed to supporting terminals like FIT, promoting advanced technology to streamline operations and improve logistics for all stakeholders in the intermodal supply chain.
“The integration of eModal at both FIT and Port Everglades Terminal streamlines appointment scheduling and operations. This improvement is important for truckers and motor carriers, making our jobs easier and showing other terminals the benefits of adopting this system to better manage logistics and supply chain operations,” stated Alberto Bello, CEO of Palmetto Transport.
