The platform facilitates the deployment of applications created by Advent eModal, its customers, and innovative third-party developers who benefit from the extensive eModal marketplace and community. All applications utilize a unified single sign-on and authentication system, along with a common data repository. By leveraging a microservices architecture, each application is designed to fulfill a specific business function, adhering to eModal's development standards while operating independently from one another. This independence allows the applications to enhance overall performance by communicating seamlessly through standardized APIs. The primary goal of eModal is to streamline operations at intermodal terminal yards by synchronizing service capacity on-site—considering factors like yard area, move type, container position, and cargo status—with the planning needs of motor carriers and shippers. Consequently, trucks are scheduled to arrive precisely when containers are available, cleared, and prepared for dispatch, ensuring a more efficient operational flow. This approach not only improves coordination but also significantly reduces wait times, benefiting all stakeholders involved in the logistics process.
