Containers are complex. TRIFECTA was built for it.
Imports, exports, domestic moves, intermodal and rail all bring their own rules, timings and exceptions. TRIFECTA brings the whole container operation together — from the first port update and booking through to planning, execution, rating and customer notification.
Reassuringly Significant, Always Evolving

Container milestones in TRIFECTA
Every container job moves through the same set of milestones, whether it's an import off the ship or an export chasing a VBS slot.
- Vessel Arrival
- Discharge
- Availability
- Pickup
- Delivery
- Empty Ready
- Reuse or Dehire
All container work
Every container movement covered
Manage imports, exports, domestic containers, intermodal and rail movements in one place, without having to force different types of work through the same basic workflow.
- Imports, exports and domestic containers on the same workflow
- Intermodal and rail movements tracked alongside road legs

Port integrations
The port updates. So does TRIFECTA.
Real-time port integrations keep critical container information current automatically — including demurrage and detention dates, VBS bookings, commencement and cut-off times, seal numbers, pre-advice, PINs, out-of-gauge details and temperature requirements.
- Demurrage, detention dates, VBS bookings and cut-off times kept current
- Seal numbers, pre-advice, PINs, out-of-gauge and temperature detail synced automatically

Real-world workflows
Built for what actually happens on the road
Container transport rarely goes exactly to plan. TRIFECTA supports the real-world workflows operators deal with every day — futile trips, failed exports, triangulation, hubs, relocations, road and rail legs, inland and managed rail, full-leg-only moves, live unloads, container stacks and job pools.
- Futile trips, failed exports, triangulation, hubs and relocations
- Full-leg-only moves, live unloads, container stacks and job pools

Bulk updates
Change more. Click less.
Update container information in bulk instead of working through jobs one by one. Container numbers and statuses, door direction, driver notes, references, dehire parks, VBS times and other operational details can all be managed quickly across multiple containers.
- Container numbers, statuses and door direction updated in bulk
- Driver notes, references, dehire parks and VBS times managed across multiple containers at once

Visual planning
See the plan. Then let it keep up.
Visual planning gives dispatchers a clear view of the operation, while TRIFECTA can automatically replan work as bookings change — helping the schedule stay aligned with what is actually happening at the port.
- Clear visual view of the whole operation for dispatchers
- Automatic replanning as bookings change

Rating engine
Rating built for containers
TRIFECTA includes a container-specific end-to-end rating engine designed around the complexity of container transport — from movements and legs through to the additional charges that happen along the way.
- Rating built around movements and legs, not a generic job
- Additional charges captured automatically as they happen

Forwarder integrations
Connected from forwarder to final event
TRIFECTA currently connects with 30+ freight forwarders, helping work flow into the operation without unnecessary rekeying. A fully configurable notification engine can then keep customers and partners informed as the events that matter to them happen.
- 30+ freight forwarder connections, no unnecessary rekeying
- Configurable notification engine keeps customers and partners informed

Owner drivers & subcontractors
Your fleet or someone else's — still under control.
Manage owner drivers and subcontractors as part of the same operation, including subcontractor charges and BCTI, without losing visibility once work leaves your own fleet.
- Owner drivers and subcontractors managed in the same operation
- Subcontractor charges and BCTI tracked without losing visibility
Common questions
Does TRIFECTA integrate with port and rail systems?
Yes. Container status updates from port and rail systems flow onto the job, so discharge and availability information doesn't rely on a phone call to the terminal.
Can TRIFECTA manage both import and export container work?
Yes. Import jobs track vessel arrival through to delivery, and export jobs track VBS booking through to gate cut-off, all under the same container job structure.
How does TRIFECTA handle container reuse and triangulation?
When a container is empty ready, it can be matched against an upcoming export booking for reuse instead of automatically going to dehire — reducing unnecessary empty running.
Does TRIFECTA track demurrage and detention exposure?
Yes. Free time and detention windows are visible against each container job, so exposure is clear before it turns into a charge on the invoice.
