What are the best tools for Maersk track and trace?
When it comes to Maersk container tracking, you have options ranging from using spreadsheets from your freight forwarder to manually checking Maersk's online cargo tracking portal, or leveraging unified visibility solutions for real-time supply chain insights.
Dependence solely on spreadsheets or carrier-specific portals may impede efficient management of shipments or handling of disruptions across different carriers and forwarders.
