Many shipping problems start because planning stops once the quote is approved.

‍

What it is:

Planning means checking schedules, cut-offs, equipment availability, and port conditions. When planning and execution are disconnected, issues appear after booking.

‍

How it works:

In traditional setups, pricing is done in one system and operations in another. The quote may look good, but it does not reflect real operational constraints. Once the shipment moves into execution, teams discover missing details, unrealistic timelines, or unavailable services. Fixing these issues causes delays and extra cost.

‍

Examples

- A route is quoted via one port, but operations must reroute through another due to congestion, adding transit time.

- A shipment is booked without checking equipment availability. Containers are not available, delaying pickup.

‍

Fact:

A significant share of re-bookings and delays originate from planning assumptions that don’t match execution reality.

‍

Misinterpretations:

Many shippers think problems happen at sea. In most cases, they start before the vessel sails.

Who solves it:

Skypace unifies planning, pricing, and execution, so what is quoted can be delivered.
