Tracking the 'Ocean Warehouse': How to See Stock Before It Hits the Dock

What OLT records for in-transit review

OLT brings recorded shipment evidence into a review workflow. Coverage and timing depend on saved records, available sources, partner updates, and configured rules; this is not universal live container positioning or a guarantee that every exception will be detected.

• Container Milestone Tracking

  Review recorded BOL, vessel, voyage, and status milestones for each container — booked, departed, in transit, arrived, customs, delivered — with timestamped updates. Estimated departure and arrival dates are planning fields for review, not live GPS positions, guaranteed arrival times, or guaranteed end-to-end tracking.

• PO-Anchored Container Documents

  BOLs, packing lists, commercial invoices, and certificates attach to a container by purchase order and are shared with WMS inbound — the same document is visible in the portal and at receiving.

• Configured Exception Review

  Review missing, changed, or overdue recorded milestones against their source and timestamp. A notice requires a configured rule and a recorded triggering event; customs and drayage statuses remain separately sourced records.

• Vessel Observation Boundary

  AIS observations describe a vessel rather than proving a container's physical location or customs status.

• Shipment Cost Allocation at Goods Receipt

  Record freight, duty, agent fees, and handling against the container and allocate captured amounts to received goods under configured allocation and accounting rules. Completeness depends on captured charges, final invoices, configuration, and human review.
