"Oh no, we’re too late again with the storage deadline."
"Wait – did we just undercharge for four days of storage?"
"Our spreadsheets don’t even reflect the actual unload times..."
If these thoughts sound familiar, you're not alone. For many terminals and logistics operators, calculating accurate storage fees is a recurring challenge – and a major headache.
When large vessels dock and start loading or unloading, the process can take several days. Sometimes, part of the cargo is discharged within the first day, another part on day two, and so on. In other cases, terminals apply flat-rate billing models: charging for the full cargo volume from day one, regardless of how quickly the vessel is emptied.
Now, imagine trying to keep track of this manually. Not only is it incredibly labor-intensive, it also leads to:
- Missed revenue from inaccurate billing
- Inefficient use of terminal storage space
- Frustration from clients due to unexpected charges
- A lack of insight into performance and bottlenecks
