Gain total control with every carrier on one ocean network

Managing ocean freight across dozens of carriers shouldn't mean managing dozens of systems. For shippers and freight forwarders running high-volume global operations, having to deal with fragmented booking workflows, manual data entry, and slow document cycles can create real operational risk. Worse yet, those risks can turn into missed cutoffs, cargo rollovers, and compliance gaps that ripple through the supply chain.

E2open Ocean Bookings by INTTRA eliminates that complexity. As the world's largest neutral, multi-carrier ocean network, it gives logistics teams a single connection to plan, book, and submit shipping instructions. They can also exchange shipment data electronically, without disrupting existing TMS or ERP workflows.

How INTTRA Ocean Network simplifies multi-carrier ocean execution 

E2open Ocean Bookings connects shippers, freight forwarders, and logistics providers to a broad global carrier network through standard web, API, or EDI connections. Whether you're booking full container loads, managing spot rates, or submitting verified gross mass data, every transaction flows through one reusable, TMS-neutral connection. 

The result: faster bookings, fewer errors, stronger trade compliance, and better visibility across the entire ocean shipment lifecycle. 

Key capabilities include: 

Rates and schedules – Compare spot rates and routing options from ocean carriers, then book within a seamless workflow with no manual lookups and no switching portals.

Multi-carrier booking management – Execute and manage FCL, LCL, RoRo, and breakbulk bookings across carriers through one connection, with automated confirmations and amendments.

Shipping instructions and eBL – Submit accurate shipping instructions, generate faster bills of lading, and manage legally recognized electronic Bills of Lading, all within one platform.

Cargo visibility – Access carrier-direct data, terminal feeds, and live vessel tracking for precise, low-latency ocean freight tracking across every shipment leg.

eVGM – Submit verified gross mass data electronically across multiple carriers, with bulk submission, TMS/ERP integration, and audit-ready reporting.

Trade compliance screening – Screen all bookings against a comprehensive global content library to stay compliant and avoid delays, penalties, and fines.

Carrier performance analytics – Monitor booking response times, shipment reliability, and status event performance with dashboards that drive continuous improvement.

What you gain at scale 

Standardizing on a single ocean network is both an operational efficiency and a strategic advantage. Here's what logistics and supply chain leaders can expect: 

Faster, more accurate bookings 

Automated data capture and validation reduce manual errors and accelerate booking cycles, helping teams consistently hit carrier cutoffs. 

Smarter documentation workflows 

Streamlined shipping instructions and eBL management—including transfer and surrender—cut document cycle times and reduce dependency on paper-based processes. 

Broader visibility, better response 

Real-time status updates and exception alerts across every leg of the journey give teams the information they need to act before disruptions escalate. 

Compliance built into every booking 

Integrated global trade compliance screening and regulatory support—including ISF and ICS2—help ensure every shipment clears without delay.
