Friendly team, superb customer service, keen to learn about our business needs and adjust the system to it. Very smooth relationship so far.
Transparent overview of your Supply Chain and brilliant visualization. Scroll over the ships and you know what products are close to arrive. Easy search function to keep an eye on critical products (you can also flag them to see those on the landing page). Creation of boards to share with your team or other stakeholders. Carbon emissions reporting included, which will become more important for Scope 3 reporting. An overall great tool to keep an eye on your Supply Chain.
There is not a lot to add here. The team is going the extra mile for you to come up with new software tools or workarounds where needed. But there are two areas for improvement: 1. Development of an App 2. Using of the BOL instead of just the container number
Thanks for your review, Christian. Glad to hear you are enjoying your experience with Beacon and finding the platform easy to use!

quick and easy to get shipment updates and correct ETA I like that new elements are being continually added, amended ect to system so that Beacon are clearly changing with the industry Customer service support is fantastic, when do have issues get quick response to answer/fix.
It is built around containers, for shipments of more then 1 container per BOL which we as a company mainly have (shipments of 10-20 containers per BOL) we cannot use the system to it's full potential I would also like to have more control over customization of how the system displays data.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Alex. Glad to hear you're finding Beacon to be a quick and easy solution for shipment tracking. The team is researching track by BOL, and we hope to have more updates to share on that front soon!

Good overall experience, easy to navigate and interrogate with many benefits to be had currently and even more so as we work to enhance further.
Real live data on status of our containers all in one place instead of having to interrogate all of the individual shipping websites. Also numerous filters to interrogate your data and usefull live board to share specific information privately to other parties. Accurate information on dwell times and pinch points on the journey of your container to understand your lead times.
Once we have all API connectivity and we can see our ref data connected to our containers i cannot think of any particular cons to this product
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience Colin! Happy to hear you've been getting value from the platform and are enjoying the benefits of a single source of truth for container tracking.
