You run port calls across multiple ports, for multiple principals, with a team that handles everything from NOR tendering to FDA closeout. Nominations come in by email. Charge tracking lives in spreadsheets. Invoices sit in folders. Base replaces all of it with one platform where every port call, every charge, and every document lives in the same record.

What changes when your agency moves from spreadsheets and email to one platform.
If your current system connects port call ops to billing, vendor management, compliance, and accounting in one record, keep using it. If your team still copies data between spreadsheets and email to close an FDA, Base replaces all of those handoffs.
Base handles agencies operating across dozens of ports simultaneously. Each port has its own tariff schedule, vendor roster, and berth data. Your team sees the full picture or filters by port, principal, or vessel.
Run your first port calls in Base alongside your existing process. Most agencies go live within two weeks and phase out the old system over the first quarter. No forced migration required.
Bring a recent port call. We will build the PDA from your tariffs, track charges, coordinate vendors, and close the FDA together. You will see how your agency workflow maps to Base before you commit.
“We ran our first real port call in Base on day three. By the end of the month, our team refused to go back to the spreadsheets.”
– Agency Director, Multi-port shipping agency
Shipping agencies that switch to Base typically close their books five days faster within the first quarter because ops and billing share the same port call record.
