Overview
JADE PACIFIC LINE PTE. LTD. is a Singapore-based shipping and container operator active in Asia-Pacific trades. Operating out of one of the world's busiest transhipment hubs, it manages services, space, containers and partner slot arrangements across fast-moving, high-volume trade lanes.
Challenges
Fragmented Commercial and Operational Data
Services, rates, bookings and container movements were tracked in separate spreadsheets and mailboxes, so no single view of a shipment existed.
Manual Demurrage and Detention Calculation
Free-time rules were applied by hand, leaving revenue leakage and disputes at the end of each billing cycle.
Complex Slot-Sharing and Chartering Costs
Space exchanged with partner carriers had to be allocated and reconciled manually across multiple agreements.
Slow Month-End Reconciliation
Front-office bookings and back-office accounts lived apart, so closing the books required repeated re-keying and cross-checking.
"Vessels sail, containers move, accounts settle — with every box traceable and every charge accounted for in the same system."
