Solutions That Intelligently Connect Logistics.
With transparent shipment tracking, seamless IT integration and intelligent interfaces, CGATE Marine creates full control over your flow of goods. Complemented by specialized solutions such as AOG services, 3D printing for spare parts and further special concepts, we respond where standard processes reach their limits.
Solutions – Intelligent Solutions for Modern Maritime Logistics
Logistics has long been more than just transport from A to B. In a world where transparency, speed and flexibility determine competitiveness, you need partners who think ahead. Partners who do not just move packages, but offer intelligent solutions that optimize your processes, integrate your systems and still work even when standard routes fail.
At CGATE Marine, we develop solutions that do exactly that. From real-time tracking that shows you where your shipment is at any time, through IT interfaces that seamlessly connect our systems with yours, to special logistics for situations in which conventional solutions are not enough — such as 3D printing of spare parts or AOG services for absolutely time-critical emergencies. These solutions are not peripheral add-ons — they are an integral part of our offering. They show how we understand maritime logistics: not as a pure transport service, but as a strategic partnership that advances your business.
More Than Transport – Intelligent Solutions for Your Logistics
The requirements for maritime logistics have changed. It is no longer enough to simply get spare parts to their destination somehow. Modern companies expect transparency, digital connectivity and the flexibility to master even exceptional challenges. They want to know where their shipment is — at any time, in real time. They want systems that talk to each other, instead of manual data transfer and duplicate work. And they want partners who still find solutions even when conventional routes fail.
Why Modern Logistics
Needs More
In the maritime world, every hour counts. A ship waiting for a spare part causes enormous costs. A decision-maker who does not know where a critical shipment currently is cannot plan. A system that does not communicate with partners produces errors and delays. That is why, at CGATE Marine, we invest not only in transport capacity, but also in intelligent solutions that address these challenges. We combine classic logistics expertise with modern technology and innovative approaches. The result is solutions that offer you real added value — beyond pure transport.
Our Solution Areas
We offer you three central solution areas that complement and extend our core services:
Shipment Tracking
Real-time transparency across all your shipments. You can see at any time where your parts are, when they will arrive and whether everything is going according to plan.
IT Integration &
Interfaces
Seamless connection of our systems to your IT landscape. Data flow without media disruptions, automated processes and full control.
Special Logistics
Innovative solutions for exceptional requirements. From 3D printing for spare parts through AOG services to tailor-made special solutions.
Shipment Tracking – Transparency in Real Time
Nothing is more frustrating than not knowing where a critical shipment currently is. Has it already cleared customs? When will it arrive in port? Will the deadline be met? In maritime logistics, where timing often decides between success and standstill, transparency is not a luxury — it is a necessity. At CGATE Marine, we offer you real-time tracking that gives you a full overview at any time. You can see where your shipment is, what status it has and when it will arrive — without calls, without emails, without waiting for replies.
What We Do for You
Our tracking system combines state-of-the-art technology with the expertise of our team. You receive not just data, but relevant information — prepared, comprehensible and updated in real time. As soon as a shipment passes into our hands, it is recorded and tracked in the system.
Every step is documented: collection, transport, customs clearance, arrival at the hub, onward transport, final delivery. You can see the current status, the history and the estimated arrival time — all at a glance.
Functions and Features
Real-Time Status Updates
Real-time status updates — your shipment is continuously tracked. Every status change becomes visible in the system immediately — from dispatch through transit to delivery.
Proactive Notifications
You do not have to keep checking. Our system informs you automatically of important events: collection completed, customs released, arrival at the destination port, delivery completed.
Estimated Arrival Times (ETA)
Based on current data and empirical values, we show you when your shipment is expected to arrive — and update this forecast continuously.
Document Access
All relevant documents for your shipment are stored in the system and available at any time: waybills, customs documents, delivery notes, proofs.
Multi-Shipment Overview
All relevant documents for your shipment are stored in the system and available at any time: waybills, customs documents, delivery notes, proofs.
Historical Data
Completed shipments also remain in the system. You can view delivery histories, analyze transit times and identify patterns.
Multiple Access Channels
You decide how you access your tracking data:
Web Portal
Our online portal is accessible from any browser. Simply log in and all information is available.
Email Notifications
You receive automatic updates by email — customizable to your preferences.
API Connection
For technically experienced customers, we offer API interfaces through which tracking data can flow directly into your own systems.
Personal Contact
Of course, you can also contact your personal point of contact at any time if you have questions or need a human assessment.
Your Benefits:
Full transparency across all shipments in real time
Proactive information instead of reactive inquiries
Better planning through reliable arrival forecasts
Document access anytime and from anywhere
Time savings through self-service and automation
Reduced uncertainty in time-critical situations
IT Integration & Interfaces – Seamless Connection to Your Systems
Modern logistics does not end at system boundaries. When data has to be transferred manually from one system to another, errors, delays and unnecessary effort arise. In a world where speed and precision count, that is not an option. You need systems that talk to each other — automatically, reliably and in real time.
At CGATE Marine, we understand that your IT landscape has grown and has specific requirements. That is why we offer flexible integration solutions that seamlessly connect our systems with yours. No isolated solutions, no duplicate data maintenance — but a continuous flow of information that accelerates your processes.
What We Offer You
We build the technical bridge between your systems and ours. This means: orders that you create in your system arrive with us automatically. Status updates that we generate flow directly back into your applications. Documents that we create are available in your system. All without manual intervention, without media disruptions, without loss of time. Our IT experts analyze together with you which integration makes sense for you, which data should be exchanged and what the technical setup looks like. We then implement the connection — professionally, securely and with minimal effort for you.
Integration Options
API Interfaces
We offer modern REST APIs through which you can address our systems directly. Create orders, query status, retrieve documents — all programmatically and automatically. Ideal for companies with their own IT department and the desire for maximum flexibility.
EDI Connection
For standardized data exchange in the B2B sector, we support common EDI formats. Orders, dispatch advices and invoices can be exchanged via established EDI standards.
ERP Integration
Is your ERP system the heart of your business processes? We integrate with common ERP solutions such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle or industry-specific systems. Orders flow directly from your ERP to us, status updates and documents flow back.
WMS Connection
If you operate your own warehouses and use a warehouse management system, we can connect to it. Stock data, goods movements and delivery orders are synchronized.
TMS Integration
Transport management systems can also be integrated. This way, you have all transport activities — including those that run through us — in one system.
Customer Portal with SSO
For companies that use single sign-on, we offer the option to integrate our portal into your existing authentication landscape. Your employees log in with their usual credentials.
Integrations
Depending on the integration, different data types can be exchanged. We therefore coordinate with you which data is relevant for you and configure the data exchange accordingly.
Orders and Purchase Orders
Shipment Status and Tracking Events
Estimated Arrival Times (ETA)
Freight Documents, Customs Documents, Delivery Proofs
Invoices and Billing Data
Stock Levels and Inventory Movements
Security and
Reliability
Data security is our highest priority. All interfaces are encrypted, access is authenticated and authorized, and we continuously monitor the data exchange for anomalies. You can be sure that your data is protected.
Reliability is also guaranteed: our systems are highly available, and we have implemented mechanisms that ensure no data is lost — even if a connection is interrupted.
Implementation and Support
Setting up an integration is a joint project. Our IT experts guide you through the entire process: from requirements analysis through technical implementation to go-live and beyond. We document everything cleanly, test thoroughly and are also available for support and further development after the rollout.
Further Special Solutions
In addition to 3D printing and AOG services, we offer further special solutions for exceptional requirements:
Temperature-Controlled Transports
Some components, chemicals or materials require controlled temperature conditions. We organize refrigerated or heated transports that maintain the cold chain without interruption.
Dangerous Goods Logistics
Certain spare parts or operating materials are subject to dangerous goods regulations. Our team knows the requirements under IATA, IMDG and ADR and handles dangerous goods transports professionally and in compliance with regulations.
Heavy Lift and Oversize
Engine parts weighing tons, bulky units or unusual shapes — we organize special transports that lie outside standard norms. With heavy-haul trucks, special cranes or project vessels.
Security-Critical Shipments
High-value or sensitive parts that require special protection? We offer discreet transports with enhanced security measures and seamless monitoring.
Reverse Logistics
Not only deliveries, but also returns: defective parts for repair, loaned components back to the lender, old parts for disposal. We also organize the return route.
Tailor-Made Project Logistics
Some requirements do not fit into any category. Large projects, complex dependencies, unusual conditions — we develop individual solutions that fit your situation exactly.
Your Benefits:
Solutions even for seemingly unsolvable situations
Fastest response for absolutely time-critical emergencies
Innovative approaches such as 3D printing for unavailable parts
Special transports for dangerous goods, heavy lift, temperature control
A partner who thinks along and also takes exceptional routes
24/7 availability for emergency operations
How Our Solutions Work Together
Our solutions are not isolated individual products — they are building blocks of an integrated overall system. Only in interplay do they unfold their full value. When tracking, IT integration and special logistics work together, a logistics solution emerges that is more than the sum of its parts.
Seamless Connection with Our Core Services
Our solutions are not extras that stand alongside our core services. They are an integral part of what we do. When we organize sea freight for you, tracking is automatically included.
When you use Express Logistics, status updates flow in real time — either into our portal or directly into your system if you use IT integration. And when standard express is not enough, our special logistics options take effect. This integration means: you do not have to coordinate different providers or move data back and forth between systems. Everything comes from a single source, everything is connected, everything works together.
Added Value Through Combination
The combination of our solutions creates added value that goes beyond the individual services:
Complete Transparency
When tracking and IT integration work together, you have not just insight into individual shipments, but a complete overview within your own systems. You see patterns, identify optimization potential and can make informed decisions.
Maximum Speed
When IT integration enables automatic order transmission and special logistics such as AOG services are available, you reduce the time from decision to delivery to the absolute minimum. No manual intermediate steps, no waiting times caused by communication gaps.
Seamless Process Chain
When all solutions work together, there are no more breaks. The order flows to us digitally, tracking accompanies the shipment, special logistics solves exceptional challenges, and everything is documented in your systems. A continuous process without gaps.
Resilience When Problems Arise
When something does not go according to plan — and that happens in logistics — tracking immediately shows where the problem lies. Our special logistics offers alternatives. IT integration ensures that everyone involved is informed. Problems are identified faster and solved faster.
Individual Configuration
Not every customer needs everything. Some need tracking above all, others IT integration above all, still others special logistics for emergencies. We configure our solutions so that they fit your requirements — no more than necessary, no less than sensible.
