ETA calculation

Ongoing calculation of the estimated time of arrival (ETA), taking into account traffic, weather, driver breaks, self-learning algorithms and more.

By leveraging GPS data, additional transport information from API connections, and/or predictive analytics, Sixfold offers real-time visibility for your rail shipment.
Multimodal & Intermodal
Sixfold offers you the right real-time insights, so that you can track your intermodal or multimodal shipments no matter where they take place (e.g. on the road, via rail, with ferries).
Ocean & Ferry
With ocean tracking information from our specialized partners we track your containers end-to-end: on the road, on the water, in the port - always providing status and ETA from one source and of consistent Sixfold quality.
