Solution · Ocean Sailing Schedules

Validated sailing schedules, every carrier.

Freightgate aggregates ocean sailing schedules across carriers and validates them inside the booking and tender flow — so the routing, transit, and cutoffs you plan against are the ones you actually ship, not a stale PDF from last week.

Multi-carrier schedules in one view Validated against booking & tender
The problem

Schedules differ by carrier and go stale fast.

Every carrier publishes its own sailings in its own format, and a schedule that was right yesterday slips today. Plans get built against numbers that no longer hold, and the gap surfaces only after the booking is made.

The approach

Aggregated and validated in the flow.

Freightgate aggregates sailing schedules across carriers into one view and validates them inside the booking and tender flow. The routing, transit, and cutoffs you decide against are checked before the move is committed.

How it works

From scattered sailings to a locked routing, in four steps.

The same logic runs on every lane, automatically, so the sailing you plan against is the sailing you ship.

1

Aggregate schedules

Sailings from every carrier are normalized into one view, so routing and transit line up without juggling separate formats.

2

Validate vs booking

Each sailing is checked inside the booking and tender flow, so the schedule you award holds before the move is committed.

3

Compare routings

Direct and multi-leg routings are weighed together on transit and cutoffs, so the best-fit sailing wins the lane.

4

Lock the sailing

The chosen routing is locked before dispatch and carries into the booking, so plan and ship stay one and the same.

Capabilities

What sailing schedules cover.

Multi-carrier schedules

See sailings from every carrier in one normalized view, so origin, destination, and routing line up without juggling separate formats.

Validation against tender & booking

Each sailing is checked inside the tender and booking flow, so the schedule you award and book is the one that actually holds.

Transit times & cutoffs

Compare true transit and key cutoffs side by side, so the sailing you choose fits the deadline instead of missing it by a day.

Routing options

Weigh direct and multi-leg routings together, comparing transit and fit so the best-fit sailing wins the lane.

Cutoff & rollover alerts

Get flagged when a cutoff is at risk or a sailing rolls, so the slip is a decision you make early, not a surprise you absorb late.

Port-pair coverage

Search any origin-destination port pair and see the sailings that serve it, so the lane you plan against is the lane you can actually book.

In the workflow

Pick the sailing that holds, before you book.

Freightgate lines up every eligible sailing across carriers, validates transit and cutoffs against the booking, and locks the routing before dispatch — so the schedule you planned against is the schedule you ship.

How tender turns schedules into awards
What changes

The same lane, planned two ways.

Without aggregated schedules
  • Each carrier's sailings live in its own format and portal.
  • Plans get built against a schedule that has already slipped.
  • A missed cutoff or rollover surfaces only after booking.
  • Routing options get compared by hand, lane by lane.
With Freightgate sailing schedules
  • Every carrier's sailings normalized into one view.
  • The schedule validated against the booking before commit.
  • Cutoff and rollover risk flagged before they bite.
  • Direct and multi-leg routings compared side by side.
Why it holds up

Built for the scale global supply chains run at.

Multi-carrier One normalized view

Sailings from every carrier aggregated into a single view, so routing and transit line up across formats.

Validated Against booking & tender

Each sailing checked inside the booking and tender flow before the move is committed.

Booking-ready Locked before dispatch

The chosen routing is locked and carried into the booking, so plan and ship stay the same.

Fits your stack

Integrates, it doesn't replace.

Freightgate sits above the carriers, ERP, and TMS you already run and feeds validated schedules across them. Two decades of integrations mean most of your carriers' sailings are already flowing in on day one.

Onboarding

Live in weeks, not quarters.

Connect your carriers by EDI and API, and schedules start flowing into one view. Carriers pay nothing to serve you, and delivery is collaborative from kickoff to go-live.

Questions

What buyers ask first.

Where do the sailing schedules come from?

Carrier schedules are aggregated through EDI, API, and direct carrier feeds, then normalized into one view. Because Freightgate has two decades of integrations in the library, most of your carriers' sailings are already flowing in, so getting to one view is a matter of weeks, not quarters.

How are schedules kept from going stale?

Schedules are validated inside the booking and tender flow rather than read from a static PDF, so the routing, transit, and cutoffs you decide against are checked before the move is committed instead of after.

Does it cover multi-leg routings?

Yes. Direct and multi-leg routings are weighed together on transit and cutoffs, so the best-fit sailing wins the lane, however the freight has to move to get there.

What happens when a cutoff is at risk or a sailing rolls?

It is flagged before booking, so the slip is a decision you make early with the alternative sailings shown alongside, not a surprise you absorb after the move is committed.

How does it connect to tender and booking?

Validated sailings carry straight into Procurement & Tender, where the routing you award and book is the one that has already been checked against the schedule.
