FAQ
Can I track containers in Excel?
Yes. You can store container, BL or AWB references alongside ETA, ETD, status, owner and notes. Carrier updates still need to be entered manually unless you use a separate integration.
Does the professional tracker use live carrier APIs?
No. It is an Excel-based operational control tool. Live carrier tracking requires a separate API or tracking service.
