TradeWaltz and MonCargo Integration

Press Release

Tokyo, Japan – July 9, 2024 – TradeWaltz Inc., the operator of the trade information collaboration platform "TradeWaltz®" (hereafter referred to as "TradeWaltz"), and MonCargo Inc., the developer of the container tracking service "MonCargo", aimed at improving logistics efficiency, are pleased to announce the release of their integrated feature, the "Automatic Acquisition and Update of Cargo / Vessel Tracking Information," starting June 10, 2024.

Challenges in Logistics Information

For Japanese trade practitioners in a country that has grown as a trading nation, managing logistics information is a crucial task. However, centralizing logistics information requires significant effort, and with various other responsibilities, the burden on trade practitioners continues to increase. Consequently, there is a high demand for more efficient and straightforward methods to manage and grasp logistics information.

Capabilities Enabled by TradeWaltz and MonCargo Integration

By pre-registering the commercial information (such as shipping company names and Bill of Lading numbers) for which you wish to automatically acquire and update movement information in TradeWaltz, it becomes possible to link the container and vessel movement information centrally acquired by MonCargo to TradeWaltz. Trade practitioners can view and manage the information automatically acquired by MonCargo on TradeWaltz, enabling them to conduct their operations more efficiently and simply in acquiring and managing movement information.
