What SaaS Tools does OpenTug offer?

OpenTug BargeOS® is built specifically for the operational realities of marine transportation. Our platform helps shippers, operators, and terminals streamline commercial workflows, manage voyages more effectively, improve financial visibility, and measure operational performance across the lifecycle of a move.

OpenTug solutions include:
- Commercial Planning: Plan voyages, estimate costs, and generate fast, accurate quotes with greater operational visibility and consistency.

- Invoice Intelligence: Improve billing accuracy and streamline invoicing processes with operational and financial data aligned in one system.
- Performance Management: Monitor operational efficiency, voyage outcomes, customer service metrics, and business performance through actionable reporting and analytics.

BargeOS® supports a range of maritime logistics use cases across the industry:
- For shippers: Simplify freight procurement, improve shipment visibility, and collaborate more effectively with transportation providers.
