Visibility & Tracking
Multimodal Visibility Network
Connect road, rail, ocean, and air events in one network view
Aggregate multimodal visibility providers and milestone events so complex journeys show a single status path across legs and modes.

The challenge
Why this breaks without a TMS
Each mode has its own portal. When a container misses a rail cutoff or a flight delays, downstream trucking learns too late.
The ZingTMS approach
How we solve it
ZingTMS stitches multimodal events onto the master shipment and legs, giving control-tower and customer teams one journey narrative.
What you can do
Multimodal Visibility Network is designed for daily freight operations - not slideware checklists.
Connect multimodal visibility and milestone data sources
Map events to master shipments and individual legs
Normalize status codes across providers and modes
Propagate delay risk to downstream planning and alerts
Expose a unified timeline to ops and customer tracking
Work alongside ocean, air, and road-specific tracking modules
Business benefits
Outcomes procurement, ops, and finance leaders use to justify the platform.
- See handoffs and milestones across modes without tab-hopping
- Detect downstream risk when an upstream leg slips
- Standardize status language for customers and partners
- Reduce dependency on tribal knowledge for intermodal moves
Typical use cases
Import programs with ocean, rail, and final-mile trucking
Forwarders managing door-to-door multimodal bookings
Shippers consolidating LSP visibility into one control tower

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for operations, IT, and finance evaluators.
Does multimodal visibility require every carrier to use ZingTMS?+
No. Events can come from providers, carriers, and partner integrations while ZingTMS remains the system of record.
How do leg delays affect the master shipment?+
Milestone and ETA updates can cascade so the master journey status reflects the controlling leg.
Can customers see the multimodal timeline?+
You choose which milestones appear on customer tracking pages and portal views.
