Mati Logistics vs Panvaya Ocean Container Tracking

Mati Logistics connects buyers with global suppliers and forwarders to coordinate sourcing, quotes, purchasing, fulfillment, and landed delivery. Its Track and Trace service puts container, bill of lading, and booking references on a shared board with automatic carrier updates. It calculates transit times, transshipment dwell, delays against plan, and weekly arrivals by route. Coverage includes major ocean carriers, NVOCCs, and forwarders such as Expeditors, Hecny, and OEC.

Shipment views can be shared live and read-only with suppliers, customers, drayage providers, and brokers without requiring them to create accounts. The supplier directory and AI sourcing agent are free, though the directory has no export or API and limits contact reveals to signed-in users one company at a time. Track and Trace offers a free plan, prepaid usage, and monthly subscription. Pay as you go costs $1, paid once; the subscription is $1 a month after a 7-day free trial and includes API access for 10 to 1,000 shipments. Mati says its products run on Microsoft Azure in the Central US region, with database encryption at rest and TLS for traffic.

Panvaya Ocean Container Tracking brings ocean shipment information together as standardized milestones, marine routes, and logistics risk details. Users can search across supported carriers by container number, bill of lading, or booking reference. Shipment views can show status, location, milestone history, estimated arrival, vessel route, and exception alerts; the service can also infer a carrier from a container number’s owner prefix. Tracking links can be shared publicly and optionally protected with a password. Other listed tools cover sailing schedules, port congestion, demurrage and detention, route planning, and carbon estimates. A REST API and webhooks support integration with TMS and ERP workflows. API keys have a default limit of 10 requests per minute, and higher limits are available to enterprise accounts on request; error and not-found responses do not use credits. The free plan includes five ocean shipments, 10 developer API credits, live AIS vessel tracking, and a port congestion monitor. Premium is listed at $50, paid once for 30 days of access and up to 100 shipments. Unsupported carriers receive an availability message rather than incomplete tracking data.
