1. Customer Overview: A Global Display Manufacturer Built for Export

Tovis Co., Ltd. is a KOSDAQ-listed manufacturer of casino gaming monitors, public display monitors, and related display modules for global markets. As a hardware exporter serving customers worldwide, Tovis depends on disciplined export shipment management and a stable supply chain to support on-time delivery.

For a company shipping display hardware across global markets, shipment visibility is not just an operational convenience. It is a core part of maintaining delivery reliability and supporting export competitiveness.

2. The Challenge: The Limits of Excel-Based Shipment Management

With a high volume of export shipments, Tovis had long managed shipment status manually in Excel. Over time, that familiar workflow became a major operational bottleneck.

To check schedule changes and event updates for each shipment, staff had to visit individual carrier and terminal websites, then search cargo numbers one by one. After collecting fragmented information from multiple sources, the team had to manually update Excel files.

As shipment volume grew, this process became slower, more repetitive, and more difficult to manage. Tovis needed a faster way to manage export logistics without losing the accuracy and familiarity of its existing workflow.

3. How Tovis Uses TRADLINX Ocean Visibility: Automating a Familiar Excel-Based Workflow

To reduce repetitive manual work without disrupting existing processes, Tovis adopted TRADLINX Ocean Visibility and redesigned its shipment tracking workflow.

All-in-one tracking from a single Master B/L number

The team no longer needs to move from one carrier website to another to check shipment status. By entering a Master B/L number into TRADLINX Ocean Visibility, Tovis can automatically track the full shipment journey from origin to destination in one place.

This gives the team a faster and more reliable way to monitor shipment progress without repeating the same manual searches across multiple websites.

Map-based visualization for clearer shipment visibility

TRADLINX Ocean Visibility also transformed dense Excel-based shipment data into a more intuitive visual experience. Instead of reading through rows of text updates, the team can now see cargo location and shipment progress on a live map.

This makes it easier to understand where a shipment is, how it is moving, and whether any schedule changes require attention.

Excel integration that preserved familiar workflows

Tovis also reduced adoption friction by keeping its existing Excel-based workflow intact. The company copied its internally managed Excel format into the platform and customized the environment to match the structure the team was already used to.

The integrated shipment dashboard could then be shared across the team, allowing everyone to work from the same real-time information instead of relying on individually updated files.

4. Results: From 2 Minutes to 30 Seconds per Shipment

After implementing TRADLINX Ocean Visibility, Tovis saw a major improvement in day-to-day shipment operations.

75% faster schedule checks

Before implementation, checking schedule updates for each export shipment took about two minutes. With TRADLINX Ocean Visibility, the same task now takes only 30 seconds.

That represents a 75% reduction in shipment schedule lookup time, helping the team save time on repetitive checks and focus more on higher-value logistics coordination.

Lower communication overhead across the team

Because the latest schedule data is automatically updated in real time and shared across all team members on a single screen, unnecessary internal questions such as “Where is this shipment now?” have been significantly reduced.

As a result, day-to-day logistics coordination has become faster, more consistent, and less dependent on manual status checks.

More accurate shipment data

The platform always reflects the latest available shipment information, reducing the risk of outdated or manually entered data. This has improved data accuracy and helped the team manage export shipments with greater confidence.

“Without TRADLINX Ocean Visibility, we would still be checking each carrier and terminal website individually for schedule updates. Now we can see real-time shipment status at a glance without errors, and by sharing that information across the team, we’ve improved overall efficiency. What used to take about two minutes per export shipment now takes only 30 seconds, and because the platform always reflects the latest version, data accuracy has improved significantly as well.”

For Tovis, TRADLINX Ocean Visibility did more than replace manual carrier website checks. It helped the company turn a familiar but time-consuming Excel-based process into a faster, more accurate, and more collaborative shipment tracking workflow.

By combining Master B/L-based automatic tracking, map-based visualization, Excel upload integration, and shared team access, Tovis reduced repetitive work while preserving the workflow its team already understood.

The result is a stronger operational foundation for export logistics: faster shipment checks, clearer visibility, fewer unnecessary internal questions, and more accurate data for managing global shipments.
