We’re here for the long haul and committed to creating a successful customer experience and partnership.

EDI Services

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is critical to any terminal operation. Without it, how would you receive bookings from customers and container releases from customs? How would you receive inbound manifests or send outbound vessel stow plans to shipping lines? If EDI goes down, it can bring your business to a halt.

Nonetheless, most terminals don’t have dedicated resources to ensure EDI runs perfectly. That’s where Tideworks’ EDI Porter can help. EDI Porter is Tideworks’ hosted, full-service model that takes the hassle out of day-to-day EDI management. EDI Porter offers an all-inclusive service that includes program management, EDI translation, visibility tools, and more.
