Integrations
Rail calls, barge slots, and gate appointments planned against the same vessel record.
Overview
The rail scheduler is usually the system with the least flexibility and the least visibility of what is happening at the quay. Anchora integrates in both directions: rail path allocations come in as constraints, and confirmed container availability goes back out.
Barge slot booking and gate appointment systems are integrated the same way, so a change at the berth reaches the truck driver before they arrive.

If your system is not listed, it is a scoped integration, not a refusal.
