Core Operations

The fundamentals of the Q-MIA system are sound processes with the core, and this is achieved through extensive mapping and experience on both sides of the operational divide – Line and Agent. We have however pushed the re-engineering envelope to streamline and integrate, to optimise and economise, and to ensure data is clean and automated.

The Q-MIA system builds in solutions to the many problems Agencies face on a day-to-day basis, be it split bookings, or documentation interfaces, or BL clausing. We close the gaps experienced between Agent depot and the Line in container aspects, and eliminate re-keying in and errors in tracking data.

The system has unique Terminal Management Automation that checks for inconsistencies and assists the operator in his huge task that is often tedious and labour-intensive. The Q-MIA internally collaborates with documentation and container control to manage operations, and then feeds the financials and commercial modules and enables analysis.

Our intermodal system rivals stand-alone modules in feature, but goes much further in integrating with documentation and payables. The system checks for collections, bills the Line, and manages all delays – automatically.
