Vizion is an API-based tracking solution designed to push standardized container events directly into software systems such as ERPs, TMSs, or spreadsheets. By consolidating data from over 130 sources, it supports visibility into sea cargo and North American Class I rail movements.
The tool is built for shippers, freight forwarders, and logistics service providers to support digital workflows, reducing the need for manual carrier website checks or emails. It supports the monitoring of port performance and provides alerts for container availability.
