Bookings and Reservations

Bookings and Reservations

OCR’s Bookings and Reservations solutions provides visibility of contracts, shipment details and rates from locations across the globe to ensure more informed decisions are made. Carriers can deal with routing, distribution of products, rate information to forwarders and monitor capacity in real time around the clock. Using the system, forwarders can view carrier information and are able to make bookings electronically without the need for software. With this solution, you can better analyze your business’ status and improve overall margins and asset utilization as the system allows you to view cost tables and contracts in real time. Forwarders are also given the capability to make bookings from in-house systems.
