Barging
ATBs and ITBs. Liquid bulk and dry bulk. Chip barges and log barges unique to the northwest. If you move products by barge, we speak your language. At Edoc, we have experience with Canadian barging companies, companies on the US Inland Waterway System, and with offshore transportation firms. We understand the unique challenges of managing barge fleets, whether on blue water or brown.
Some of your issues…
Your employees need to track a lot of details for each job, with good reason. But there’s no good reason for them to rewrite or retype the same details several times—that’s just a waste of time and money. They need to spend time on the minute-by-minute requirements of the business, not redundant tasks that can be automated.
