PortPro specializes in transportation management systems (TMS) specifically designed for container drayage carriers, which transport shipping containers 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 offers its TMS as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, allowing clients to subscribe for ongoing access and support. The company's goal is to enhance customer satisfaction and streamline the logistics process for drayage carriers, positioning itself as the preferred TMS provider in the industry.
