✨Fleet Specific Operating Picture for Inland Marine Operators, Commercial Teams and Customers
Built specifically for the inland waterways industry, the platform delivers real-time fleet visibility, predictive ETAs, and centralized vessel tracking in a single, easy-to-use interface.
A Trusted Guide for Reliable Fleet Management
By bringing fleet movements, voyage progress and arrival expectations together in one place, Tow Tracker helps organizations reduce communication overhead, improve customer service and align operations around a shared source of truth.
Designed with You in Mind
Too often, critical information is scattered across calls, emails, texts, and spreadsheets.
Designed specifically for inland waterways, Tow Tracker provides fleet-specific visibility and predictive ETAs that help organizations stay aligned around a shared operating picture. Operators can quickly see where vessels are, where they're headed and when they're expected to arrive.
Work with Operational Confidence
With Tow Tracker, organizations can:
- Save hours of daily communication time
- Improve customer updates with predictive ETAs
- Align operations, sales, and customer-facing teams
- Reduce uncertainty around vessel movements
- Create a shared source of truth for fleet activity
Keep Every Team Aligned
When everyone is working from the same information, decisions happen faster, customer conversations become easier and teams spend less time chasing updates.
The hero isn't the technology.
The hero is the operator, dispatcher, salesperson and customer service representative who can finally focus on moving freight instead of searching for answers.
That's the value of a connected fleet.
✨Build and Share Fleets Across Internal Teams
Tow Tracker gives operators a simple way to organize, monitor, and share fleet activity across internal teams. Built in response to requests for fleet-specific visibility, Tow Tracker helps reduce communication bottlenecks while improving operational awareness.
Teams can:
- Build Custom Fleets
- Share Fleet Visibility
- Share Predictive ETAs
- Reduce Daily Communication Time
- Streamline Customer Communication
- Provide Fleet-Specific Tracking
Why It Matters
Tow Tracker helps inland operators save hours of daily communication time, improve coordination across teams, and provide customers with a clearer picture of fleet activity. Combined with Action Intel's broader intelligence platform, it supports stronger forecasting, benchmarking, and decision-making.
Simple. Shared. Actionable.
Build the fleets you need. Share them with the people who need them. Keep everyone aligned with the latest information.
✨Predictive ETAs That Keep Everyone Aligned
Tow Tracker provides forward-looking, fleet-specific ETAs that help operators, dispatchers, sales teams, and customers stay informed without constant status calls or manual updates. Designed specifically for inland marine operations, Tow Tracker turns vessel movement data into actionable arrival forecasts.
This visibility creates meaningful advantages in fleet planning, commercial strategy and operational decision-making.
Key ETA Capabilities
- Predictive Arrival Times – Receive estimated arrival times for vessels across your fleet based on current movement patterns.
- Fleet-Specific Visibility – Monitor the progress of the vessels that matter most to your operation in a single view.
- Improved Customer Communication – Share more accurate transit expectations with customers and commercial teams.
- Operational Planning Support – Use ETA information to better coordinate crews, equipment, transfers, and downstream activities.
- Reduced Manual Updates – Eliminate time spent tracking vessels and responding to routine location inquiries.
Why It Matters
Accurate ETAs improve decision-making across the organization. Operations teams can plan with greater confidence, customer-facing teams can provide proactive updates and management gains a clearer view of fleet performance. Combined with Action Intel's broader transportation intelligence, Tow Tracker helps transform vessel tracking from a reporting exercise into a planning advantage.
Know where your fleet is headed—and when it is expected to arrive.
✨ ETA Calculator
The Tow Tracker ETA Calculator provides fast, data-driven arrival estimates for vessels moving across the inland waterway system. By combining vessel location data with Action Intel's transportation intelligence, operators can forecast arrivals more consistently and reduce uncertainty in planning workflows.
Key Capabilities
- Predictive Arrival Estimates – Calculate expected arrival times based on current vessel position and movement patterns.
- Fleet-Specific Tracking – Generate ETAs for the vessels most important to your operation, customer or business unit.
- Operational Planning Support – Improve coordination of crews, equipment, transfers, and terminal activities with forward-looking arrival information.
- Customer Communication Efficiency – Reduce time spent answering routine status inquiries by providing readily available ETA information.
- Data-Driven Forecasting – Support operational and financial planning with more consistent arrival expectations across the fleet.
Why It Matters
Accurate ETAs are foundational to efficient inland marine operations. The Tow Tracker ETA Calculator helps teams move from reactive updates to proactive planning, improving coordination across operations, commercial teams and customers while reducing communication overhead.
Know when vessels are expected to arrive, plan with confidence, and keep stakeholders informed with less effort.
✨Fleet Data and ETAs
Identify individual towboat:
- Location
- Direction
- Speed
ETAs
- Based on bulk selection settings
- Based on inputs for an individual boat (input similar to Excel)
Routes
- Primary Route and ETA will show in data grid
- Go to ETAs settings and Route Selection to choose alternate route
✨ Weather Layers
Tow Tracker brings weather conditions directly into fleet visibility workflows, helping operators understand how environmental conditions may impact vessel movements, transit planning and customer communications.
Key Weather Layers
- Temperature
- Precipitation Intensity
- Wind Speed
- Wind Speed with Direction
Key Weather Layer Capabilities
- Weather Visibility Along Routes – View weather conditions alongside vessel locations to better understand potential operational impacts.
- Enhanced Situational Awareness – Monitor changing conditions that may affect transit timing, fleet deployment or customer expectations.
- Support Better ETA Management – Weather context helps operators evaluate factors that may influence arrival forecasts and transit performance.
- Centralized Operational View – Access fleet activity and weather information within a single workflow rather than switching among multiple tools.
- Improved Customer Communication – Provide stakeholders with greater context when weather conditions influence vessel progress.
Why It Matters
River transportation is influenced by more than vessel location alone. Weather conditions can affect operational decisions, planning assumptions and customer expectations. By incorporating weather layers into Tow Tracker, operators gain additional context to support faster decisions and more informed conversations.
Tow Tracker combines fleet visibility, predictive ETAs and operational context—helping teams stay aligned when conditions change.
