Vizion Container Tracking API & TradeView

Vizion, Inc. was founded by Kyle Henderson and Tyler Hughes, who previously led product teams at supply chain control tower companies. It addresses the difficulty of getting complete, standardised container tracking data from many carriers, terminals and data sources into the systems that shippers and logistics providers already use.

The Container Tracking API pushes events from EDI, AIS and port and terminal connections, turning about 7,000 unique carrier events into 60 standardised milestones, with Last Free Date alerts, intermodal rail tracking on North American Class I railways and a customs clearance API. TradeView adds global trade intelligence on bookings, suppliers and logistics providers from 130+ data sources, plus port performance and GHG data. Customers are shippers, forwarders, drayage firms, 3PLs and software providers.

• Container Tracking API: standardised events pushed to spreadsheets, ERP, TMS or other software.
• Port and terminal visibility: Last Free Date and terminal events from direct connections.
• Intermodal rail tracking: ocean and North American rail legs in one request.
• TradeView: booking-level trade intelligence on suppliers and logistics providers.
• Port performance: berth wait, mooring time and container gate-out metrics.
• Customs clearance API and GHG data: customs status and emissions for shipments.

• A Vietnamese logistics software vendor can embed container tracking into its TMS through the API.
• A furniture exporter selling to the US can monitor containers through to rail ramps and final delivery.
• A sourcing team can use TradeView to assess suppliers and forwarders on the Vietnam-US lane.

• One API returns standardised milestones for 99% of ocean shipments, with 99.99% uptime.
• Data sources are refreshed several times a day, keeping latency to 6 hours or less.
• Last Free Date alerts show when demurrage will start so pickups can be planned.
• TradeView monitors 57% of global trade and over USD 7.5 trillion in goods to spot supplier and route risks.

Software vendors, forwarders and shippers increasingly buy tracking data through APIs rather than building carrier connections themselves. Vizion's own TradeView data shows Vietnam-to-US container bookings up 19.2% in 2026, which raises demand for visibility on this lane among Vietnamese exporters and their US buyers.
