Where multi-modal visibility breaks in production

Three reasons modes never tell one story.

An ocean-rail-truck move spans three carriers, three data formats, and three clocks. Stitching them into one timeline the customer can read is where it falls apart.

01 - Fragmented feeds

Each mode reports in its own dialect

Ocean carriers, railroads, and OTR providers emit milestones in different formats through project44, FourKites, and Descartes. Without normalization, the portal shows three disconnected trackers.

SCHEMA
02 - Handoff gaps

The shipment goes dark between modes

When a container moves from vessel to rail to truck, the milestone trail breaks at each handoff. Customers see a gap and assume the freight is lost.

DATA QUALITY
03 - Stale portal

The customer view lags the actual freight

Portals refresh from a batched copy of mixed-mode feeds, so the ETA on screen is hours behind reality. Support fields calls about a delay the portal hasn't shown yet.

How do you merge ocean, rail, and OTR into one timeline?

Stacksync normalizes each mode's events from project44, FourKites, and Descartes into a single milestone taxonomy on one shipment record, so the portal shows one continuous journey.

What happens at the handoff between modes?

Handoff milestones are mapped explicitly, so the trail stays unbroken from vessel to rail to truck. Customers see a continuous status instead of a gap.

How current is the customer portal?

Real time. Milestones land on the shipment as carriers report them and flow to the portal in seconds, so the ETA on screen reflects where the freight actually is.

Can we define our own milestone model?

Yes. Custom milestone taxonomies, per-mode event codes, and portal field mappings configure without code and apply across every mode consistently.
