i-Multimodal for NetSuite is a maritime and intermodal operations application built natively inside Oracle NetSuite. It combines three applications: a terminal operating system for container, bulk, project and general cargo; freight forwarding across sea, air, rail and road; and intermodal cargo logistics with gate scheduling. Port and terminal teams can coordinate vessel calls, yard and warehouse activity, truck and rail visits, appointments, cargo tracking and ownership changes, while freight teams manage quotes, bookings, shipment tracking, shipping documents and compliance workflows. Operational activity connects with billing and financial processes in NetSuite. The product is designed for port and intermodal terminal operators, freight forwarders and cargo logistics organizations managing multimodal movements and terminal services in a shared ERP environment.

In order to effectively manage its operations, a marine cargo terminal needs to track and manage large volumes of data about the cargo moving through its facility. In addition, terminal operators want to use their available resources (land space, equipment and labour force) efficiently to handle a maximum cargo throughput at the lowest cost, and they need to invoice for the provided services as quickly as possible. The Terminal Operating System (TOS) serves as the core operations management application to address these needs. TerminalControl is a multi-functional, multi-modal, multi-commodity Terminal Operating System. In other words, it provides a wide range of functionality for marine terminals as well as inland terminals dealing with vessels, barges, trucks and trains, handling any type of commodity, using any kind of cargo handling equipment. The equipment control module in turn will make sure any planned movement gets executed by a well-placed equipment driver.
