1-Stop Modal Implementation at CargoLink Fisherman Island
Within months of being selected as the solution provider for Patrick CargoLink, 1-Stop Modal product has proved its capabilities improving efficiencies and operations in Brisbane, Fremantle, Melbourne and Sydney.
Modal’s successful implementation at CargoLink in Fremantle, Melbourne and Sydney resulted in:
- enhanced functionality,
- streamlined processes and information flow for shipping lines/transport carriers,
- reduced manual paperwork,
- reduced truck turnaround times,
- and increased container output.
We have now begun improving overall performance at Fisherman Island with advancements in the Modal product offering further functionality in a more complex operating environment.
We have implemented the 5 core modules of Modal at Cargolink Fisherman Island: Bookings, Inventory Management, Reporting, Staging and EIDO’s.
What’s unique in this implementation of Modal is that the capability required for Fisherman Island is more complex than other empty parks. At CargoLink Brisbane, Modal successfully supports the handling of empty and full containers, as well as ‘under bond’ container movement and G.A.S containers from the terminal.
One of the key benefits of 1-Stop Modal is that the platform connects into Patrick’s Auto-Strads exchange and TOS. This ensures uninterrupted message exchange between the systems, crucial for efficiency at the park and seamless operations.
