What arrives when, before it matters.

Real ETAs, free-time countdowns and late warnings — straight from carriers and the ERP — so production plans hold.

What planning gets

• One schedule. Every inbound shipment from every supplier on a single timeline: this week, next week, in two weeks, later.
• ETAs that come from the carrier, not from a supplier's best guess, and update when the vessel does.
• Free time in the open. Demurrage and detention countdowns per container, amber before they cost money.
• Need-by dates with late warnings. Say when the material must arrive; get told the moment the schedule says it won't.
• Goods receipt from the ERP. The plan closes when the warehouse posts, not when someone remembers to update a sheet.

Why this is hard today

Planning usually learns about a delay from procurement, who learned about it from an email, which arrived three days ago. By the time the plan is changed, the line is already waiting. Pacifica puts the same schedule in front of both teams, and the schedule updates itself.
