NVOCC Software Built in Miami for Ocean Transportation Intermediaries

GDZ-ISIS runs an NVOCC from the first quotation to the final invoice in one system, including U.S. Customs ACE manifest filing. GDZ Computer Services has built it in South Florida since 1985.

What an NVOCC needs from its software

An NVOCC lives on paperwork that has to agree with itself: the rate quoted, the cargo booked, the container stuffed, the bill of lading issued, the manifest sent to Customs and the invoice that follows. When those live in separate programs, every shipment is typed several times and every retyped field is a chance for an error, a freight correction or a Customs hold.

GDZ-ISIS was designed around that flow. Information captured once moves from module to module, so a quotation becomes a booking, a booking becomes a bill of lading, and the bill of lading posts to accounting without being entered again.

How GDZ-ISIS covers the NVOCC workflow

Rates and contractsService contracts by period, customer, port and tariff, in dollar amounts or TEUs; automated tariff rating by line, port, commodity, equipment type and charge.

QuotationsOcean freight and accessorial charges calculated automatically, then converted into a booking without retyping.

BookingsContainer, break bulk and hazardous cargo, with a dangerous cargo manifest built from the entries and an equipment availability check as each booking is made.

LCL and warehouseDock receipts and warehouse inventory for loose cargo, plus stuffing and stripping of containers.

Bills of ladingBill of lading entry fed from the booking, dock receipt and contacts, rated against the tariff and compared side by side with the original quotation.

U.S. CustomsACE manifest upload to CBP, vessel arrivals and departures, in-bond cargo, General Order, and Customs releases and holds.

AccountingReceivables, payables and the general ledger posted automatically from each bill of lading, individually, by port or for an entire vessel.

Frequently asked questions

Does GDZ-ISIS file the ACE manifest for an NVOCC?

Yes. The ACE module uploads the manifest to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and tracks CBP approvals, holds and inspections, along with in-bond and General Order cargo.

Can GDZ-ISIS handle LCL consolidation?

Yes. Loose cargo is received through dock receipts and warehouse inventory, booked without affecting equipment availability, and stuffed into containers through the stuffing module.

Is GDZ-ISIS only for large carriers?

No. GDZ-ISIS is used by ocean carriers, NVOCCs and maritime agents, and each installation is customized to the company that runs it.
