Manage any cargo type in one Terminal Operating System

The challenges of a multipurpose terminal

Breakbulk identifiers vary by cargo type and are often incomplete, so tracing each piece relies on tally sheets and manual checks.

Orders arrive by EDI, email, Excel, PDF and phone, and must be retyped before work can be planned.

Every vessel call and truck brings its own paperwork: B/Ls, tally sheets, CMRs and customs documents.

Every handling is billed differently, so invoicing stays manual and activities slip through unbilled.

Terminal operations in Globis

How Globis handles that complexity

Breakbulk warehouse at PSA Antwerp

Tailored to your cargo and handlings, without development

Your terminal shouldn’t have to bend to its software. Identification, order formats and handling steps are configured to fit your workflows, so new cargo types or customers are added quickly, without custom development.

Work in one platform, from order to invoice

Orders, cargo, yard, warehouse, documents and billing managed on the same platform. Receipts, delivery orders and gate passes are generated from that data, so nothing gets entered twice.

Capture anything, price it immediately

Handlings per tonne, unit or lift; storage with free days; gangs, waiting hours, lashing and surcharges. Each is priced from the customer’s contract the moment it’s registered. Contracts can be layered (general tariff → customer group → customer-specific exceptions), so a yearly tariff update is one change, not fifty.
