## Be the First to Know When Port Disruptions Emerge

Port performance monitoring data empowers you to track performance across the ports that are most important to your business. If and when disruptions emerge, port performance data serves as a first-alert system, giving you time to redirect cargo as needed.

Knowing where your containers are located and when they will arrive isn’t enough for visibility. You need data on how your ports of destination are performing so that you can anticipate when your containers will be available for pickup.

Many sources of container tracking data are not updated frequently enough to be useful. Vizion's container trace data lets you track in real-time and at a granular level, so you can monitor your shipments and prepare logistically for their arrival.
