One MBL Status View. Every Shipping Line, Same Way.
Master Bill of Lading milestones tracked live and automatically, regardless of which shipping line issued the MBL. Shipthis pulls status updates from every carrier your team works with into one consistent view, so checking an MBL's status never means knowing which specific carrier portal to log into, or waiting for someone to notice an update buried in an email.
No credit card required. Go live in 9 weeks. Implementation team included.

Every shipping line tracks its own MBL milestones somewhere, the actual problem is that "somewhere" is a different portal, with different logins and different labels, for every carrier.
Shipping lines aren't hiding their MBL milestone data, they publish it, usually on their own portal, in their own format, under their own terminology for what's functionally the same event. The actual cost isn't a lack of information, it's the fragmentation. A forwarder working with a dozen carriers needs a dozen logins and a dozen mental models for what "departed" or "discharged" means on each one. Shipthis pulls milestone data from every shipping line automatically and normalizes it into one consistent view, so your team checks one place and sees the same kind of status regardless of which carrier is actually moving that shipment.
Booking to Discharge, Updating Itself
Booking confirmed, gate-in, loaded, departed, in-transit, arrived, and discharged, each milestone updates automatically as the shipping line reports it, without anyone triggering a refresh.
An MBL's status moves through a defined set of milestones, booking confirmed, gate-in at origin, loaded onto the vessel, departed, in-transit, arrived at destination, and discharged, and each one updates automatically the moment the shipping line reports it, not on a schedule someone has to remember to check. Shipthis captures every one of these milestones as they happen, so your team sees the current status without manually refreshing a carrier portal or waiting for a status email that may or may not arrive promptly.

Whichever Shipping Lines You Actually Use
MBL tracking works across the full range of shipping lines a forwarder typically works with, not just the largest carriers.
A forwarder's carrier mix is rarely just the two or three largest shipping lines, it includes regional carriers, niche trade-lane specialists, and whichever line happens to offer the best routing for a specific shipment. Shipthis tracks MBL milestones across the full breadth of shipping lines a forwarder actually works with, so switching carriers for a better rate or route doesn't mean losing consistent tracking on that shipment.
The MBL's Status Is the Shipment's Status
MBL milestones update the same shipment record tied to House Bills, documentation, and the customer portal, not a standalone tracker disconnected from the rest of the job.
: An MBL milestone update matters most when it actually reflects on everything connected to that shipment, the House Bills riding inside a consolidation, the documentation status, and what the customer sees in their own portal. Shipthis ties MBL tracking directly to the same shipment record used everywhere else, so a milestone update isn't an isolated data point in a tracking tool, it's the current status of the shipment itself, visible everywhere that shipment's information already lives.

MBL Tracking That Actually Works Across Your Real Carrier Mix
Normalized across every shipping line, genuinely automatic, and connected to the rest of the shipment, not a tool that quietly works best with only one or two major carriers.
.avif)
Plenty of tools claim MBL tracking, but many work best with a narrow set of major carriers and get noticeably thinner once a shipment involves a regional or niche shipping line. Shipthis is built to normalize milestone data across the full range of carriers a forwarder actually uses, update automatically without manual triggers, and connect directly into the same shipment record as House Bills and customer visibility, the combination that makes tracking actually useful across a real, varied carrier mix, not just the largest names.
Your Actual Carrier List, Configured, Not a Generic Assumption
A dedicated implementation team configures MBL tracking around the specific shipping lines your business actually works with.
Generic carrier coverage assumptions don't hold up for every forwarder, especially one that works with regional or niche shipping lines alongside the major names. Shipthis onboarding is built around that reality. Implementation configures MBL tracking specifically for your actual carrier list, so tracking works from day one across every line you use, not just the ones most commonly assumed. Most customers are fully operational within 9 weeks.
