IIG’s Acuboost “Container Tracking” powered by Acumatica allows companies to view inventory in transit by allowing users to create container information tracking transactions. Items in transit can be easily loaded from existing purchase orders into container transactions created by selecting an entire purchase orders, specific lines of a purchase order, or partial quantity of a purchase order line.
Users are able to track the container status using user defined container status codes such as; on the water, customs, in land transit, foreign dock. In addition, this enhancement allows for easily tracking of the expected and actual departure & arrival dates, payment due date as well as custom & duty information.
The landed costs info is entered at the container level and are allocated to each item in the container. Landed Costs are loaded into created Receipts of Goods transactions for the container.

Based on our previous experience with IIG we opted to go with the IIG Container Tracking Module. Tracking our products from our overseas vendors has been like night and day. We receive about seventy-five containers from overseas vendors in a four month period. We used to track what items were on each container manually external from Acumatica, this was a tedious time consuming process.
With IIG’s Container Tracking Module we can see what PO and Partial PO line items are on each container. Tracking a container on a specific vessel in real time is a click away, no more going to a different website and enter vessel information to know where it is. These are just a couple of things that changed for us by adding Container tracking. Needless to say, we are very happy with the product. Phase two for us will be implementing its landed cost capabilities.
Adding IIG's Container Tracking to Acumatica is an easy choice when our clients have advanced landed cost requirements and the need for better visibility and tracking of containers. It’s a bonus that the IIG team is easy to work with, with top-notch sales support.
As an Acumatica partner, we come across many customers who require advanced landed cost tracking for their containers, visibility into where containers are in their shipping process, as well as consolidation of multiple POs into these containers. The IIG Container Management add-on has fit this need perfectly for our customer.
