PortPro specializes in transportation management systems (TMS) specifically designed for container drayage carriers, which transport goods over short distances, often from ports to warehouses. Their main product, drayOS, helps these carriers manage shipments and communicate with customers more effectively. The system includes features like AI-based order entry, real-time container tracking, appointment setting, and customer messaging, all aimed at improving operational efficiency. Unlike many competitors, PortPro operates on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, allowing clients to subscribe for access to the software, which ensures ongoing updates and support. The company's goal is to enhance customer satisfaction and become the leading TMS provider for drayage carriers.
