Trusted by Siem Car Carriers for fleet-wide inspection and OEM EDI booking management.
Challenges We Solve for Shipping Lines
PCTC operators face unique quality management challenges across multi-port, multi-modal operations. Bison Grid addresses each one.
High Damage Claim Costs
Major operators face £1M+ annually in damage claims. Bison Grid's timestamped photographic inspections with GPS tagging create indisputable evidence that resolves disputes faster.
Slow Paper-Based Inspections
Manual processes limit throughput and introduce errors. Express Mode, barcode scanning, and offline capability eliminate manual data entry and keep inspections moving at every handover point.
No Real-Time Cargo Visibility
OEMs demand transparency. Bison Grid's client portal and analytics dashboards give your customers VIN-level visibility throughout the voyage, strengthening commercial relationships.
Manual OEM EDI Booking
Multiple OEM formats, manual data entry, and booking errors slow payment cycles. Bison Exchange automates EDI booking management across VDA, EDIFACT, and proprietary formats.
