Business Need

To be able to:

Business Analysis and Requirements

Current Biz Process

Currently operators book with and get updates from ocean carriers manually (TBD in details). After that they manually update CT record with the information they received. I suppose it is the following.

Bookings:

•  ???

Updates:

• actual date of departure from Origin Port
• actual arrival to Destination Port

Phases

Phase one will cover OOCL carrier only.

Technical Requirements

1. We will do this through Descartes.
