VBS was developed to drive efficiencies by addressing the common issues shared by port communities around the world – the lack of transparent information flow, under-utilisation of equipment and inefficient practices. 1-Stop’s flagship product is the premier Terminal to Landside interface, currently active in 17 facilities and terminals across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.
1-Stop VBS provides the capability to optimise port operations. Our user-friendly digital interface – for desktop, mobile and tablet devices – is the ‘mediator’ of all messaging and information that is vital to port and freight operations.
VBS allows terminal operators to match terminal resources with landside demand. Terminals can configure timeslots, work-day calendars and business rules, and create and maintain customer details.
Minimising manual data entry and virtually eliminating time-consuming and error prone paperwork, VBS harness technology to streamline operations from ship to gate.
For example, when the quayside is busy, landside resources can be adjusted to support best use of equipment. Equally, when quayside activity is lower, landside operations can be ramped up to support clearing for the next vessel arrival.
More than just a booking system, VBS provides a complete terminal capacity management system, delivering benefits for terminal operators and freight carriers alike.
Equipment, fleet and human resources can be accurately matched to demand, spreading incoming vehicles and container movements over full 24 hour periods.
Like all 1-Stop solutions, our VBS has been developed for easy implementation and usability. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing technology and
systems including other 1-Stop tools. VBS continues to evolve through valued input and collaboration from stakeholders throughout the ports community.
Providing terminal and freight operators with an accurate view of operations, business planning can be greatly enhanced. With better financial analysis and forecasting, users can adapt business models to cut costs and be better positioned to respond to both challenges and opportunities for growth.

| TYPE OF HOLD | STATUS | MEANING |
| Line | Clear | The EIDO PIN has been received and acknowledged by the facility. |
| Line | Held | The EIDO PIN has either not been received by the facility or it has been rejected. |
| Customs | Clear | All holds on the Container have been lifted and cleared. It can also mean that the container is conditionally cleared by underbond. |
| Customs | Held | There is a Customs impediment on the container, such as duty not paid, customs hold, XRAY hold etc. |
| Other | Held | An “other” hold can be a any reason as applied by the terminal, including GAS Hold (Giant African Snail). |
There could be a few reasons why you cannot confim your time slot. Here are some scenarios and the likely reasons why you’re experiencing them:
| SCENARIO | LIKELY CAUSE AND RESOLUTION |
| Error message: Invalid Container Number | This is caused when either
1. a particular container is missing from the vessel bayplan, or Contact us so we can investigate the above options and take the appropriate action. |
| Error mesage: Booking For This Vessel Is Not Allowed | This is caused when either
1. your time slot is before the availability time For all 3 options try entering the container number, but don’t click “Get Details”. Instead, select the vessel and voyage, length and commodity manually, then click Save. If this does not work, contact us for further assistance. |
If you are seeing this message:
“You cannot make bookings at this time as your account is either restricted or inactive. Please call the terminal directly to have this rectified.”
It is because you owe payment for 1 or more invoices, and your VBS access has been “Restricted”.
In this “Restricted” state, you will only be able to login and navigate through the screens to view information. You won’t be able to make any new bookings.
To lift this restriction, contact the Terminal’s accounts department and resolve the oustanding amounts.
A ‘No Show’ occurs when a truck does not make the appearance at the terminal during the nominated slot time, after having confirmed the booking.
When this occurs, the booking will be treated as a “No Show” and you may be charged additional fees. The container number on the booking will then be prefixed with a “NS” and you cannot amend the booking.
The container will then be available for you to confirm against another booking.
You may receive this error message when attaching an EIDO PIN to your VBS booking.
To be able to attach the PIN, the following must have happened:
So if you can’t attach the container to your booking, it might be because:
