Coordinate with partners, track shipments in real-time, and maintain a complete compliance trail - all on a single platform built for chemical and high-value shippers.
SEE HOW IT WORKSYou manage complex shipments. Your information is scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and five different tracking portals.
You hunt for shipment status across multiple tracking portals, forwarder updates, and chaotic email threads. No single, live view of what's moving.
Your team spends more time chasing status updates and clarifying instructions than on strategic logistics management.
No clear record of who confirmed what. Miscommunication leads to delays, disputes, and damaged partner relationships.
Safety sheets, certificates, and declarations are scattered across drives and inboxes, making audits a days-long scramble.
The High Hidden Cost: This fragmentation directly translates into demurrage, detention, missed production windows, and expedited freight fees. The true cost of a poorly coordinated shipment often far exceeds the freight cost itself.
The root problem isn't your partners or your team. It's the missing layer that connects them.
We don't replace your freight forwarders or your ERP. We provide the neutral, shared workspace that has been missing.
A dedicated, private digital workspace for every shipment. Your internal teams and external partners are connected in one place with clear roles. Live tracking, documents, and communication unite around a single shipment.
You create a shipment and invite the relevant partners.
Everyone shares updates, uploads documents, and confirms milestones within the platform.
You gain a live map, dashboard, and automated alerts. Every action is logged permanently.
It's the control, clarity, and compliance backbone your complex logistics require.

PortConnected isn't just a tool - it's your partner in building a resilient, compliant chemical supply chain.
PortConnected was founded on a simple observation: global trade runs on vast networks of capable partners, but the digital layer that connects them is broken.
We are a team of software engineers and operational specialists who saw that the critical problems in shipment execution weren't about tracking - they were about coordination, communication, and control. Existing tools were either passive dashboards or monolithic systems that didn't connect the ecosystem.
So we built what was missing: a neutral, cloud-based platform that acts as a dedicated control layer for execution. Our mission is to provide factories and shippers with the clarity and command they need to turn complex, multi-party logistics from a source of risk into a competitive advantage.
