What is PortXpert

PortXpert is a technology start-up that digitizes and standardizes the port’s inspections and clearance protocols.

Each shipping container needs to be inspected in order for it to carry and transport goods. PortXpert aims to digitize the process and maintain records in real-time of each particular shipping container on a database that is easily accessible for the clearance agents and the port’s authority.

Current Process

Currently, the container inspections are conducted by multiple service providers, physically, at various locations like the port or parking areas. These inspections are tedious and are paper-based operations. Clearing and approval of the inspection at these stages are done via phone calls or WhatsApp, which opens the door to human error, delays, miscommunication, and ultimately no back office oversight of these approvals.

Expected Change

With PortXpert, inspections can be conducted remotely by the Drivers and Port Inspectors via the mobile app and submitted to the back office team for review. Approvals and instructions are on the app itself and all records are stored digitally, with no need for communication via third-party applications or methods. Drivers can get an appointment slot for container drop-off, which reduces the queues and hassle at the port.

Why PortXpert

PortXpert is a cutting-edge mobile app that brings the solution built on futuristic machine learning and significantly reduces paperwork, time, cost, and overall delays.

The pandemic has inspired ports and terminal operators all over the world to digitize most operations wherever relevant to have contact-free transactions and implement technology to enhance overall efficiency and the Logistics Performance Index of the countries.
