Live-load and live-unload containers via iCOS GO

We are happy to announce support for container live load and unloads via our iCOS GO mobile application.

With this new feature, if you are doing live loading or unloading of a container, your driver won't need to wait for a dispatcher to re-allocate the second leg after he has waited for the container to be loaded/unloaded.

This will also work great for those of you who 'tip' your containers.


Here's the steps:


1: Dispatcher allocates an empty container to be picked up and taken to a site for loading, or a full container to be taken to a site for unloading

2: The job appears on the drivers mobile device, telling him where to pick up from.


3: Once picked up, the driver sees a new option in addition to the usual 'Offload' button he normally seens:





4: After pressing 'Live Load' or 'Live Unload', the system automatically offloads the container, then allocates a new task back to the driver to take the container from it's pack/unpack location to either dehire or a port for export.


If you are interested in this new functionality, please contact your iCOS LIVE representative and ask that the feature be enabled for your account.

You may elect to have this feature turned on for certain drivers/vehicles only, rather than all of them.

We hope this new feature improves your workflow in iCOS LIVE!
