Software to reduce demurrage charges

Aug 10 | 2017

Portrix Logistic Software (PLS) is developing a software application that promises an end to the headache of managing Demurrage and Detention (D&D) charges.

The first prototype of GPM Demurrage & Detention was unveiled at the transport logistic exhibition in Munich from 9-12 May, 2017. The GPM extension offers users an intuitive window onto their global D&D spend, storing all Free Time agreements in one portal, from where global container movements and costs can be easily tracked. Fees can be prevented through proactive warnings of upcoming D&D charges, invoicing becomes simplified, and the drain on resources incurred by managing D&D can be halted.

“It is exactly what the industry has been crying out for,” said Henning Voss, Co-founder and CEO of Hamburg headquartered PLS.
