Shipping Container Trading Software

Feb. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Online Shipping container trading software is now available  through ContainerAuction.com.  Large or  small volume container buyers and sellers can leverage the market leading  platform designed specifically for new and used shipping containers.  ContainerAuction.com’s web desktop “Trader (http://trader.containerauction.com/)” platform  gives sellers the ability to control their audience, communicate directly with potential  buyers, and use our integrated tools to market their containers more efficiently.

Controlling access to container listings can be important  depending on the market or container type, and to do this ContainerAuction.com  has integrated some unique features.  To  start, sellers can create contacts by reviewing current commercial traders and  connecting with them, or inviting their existing network to connect with them  on the site.  Once connected, when a new  listing is created the seller can mark it as private and only invite selected traders  to bid or buy the listings. If the seller would like to expand their market,  but chooses not to market to retail buyers, the listing can be market as “commercial”  and only approved commercial traders can access the listing.  For the widest marketing reach, sellers can  also list their new or used containers as “Retail” and anyone visiting the can  view the listing.
 Questions about container sales are inevitable, and  ContainerAuction.com has made it easier to respond quickly to buyers.  When a question is registered through the  site the entire message is logged on the site and sent directly to the sellers  email account.  The seller then has the  option of logging into the site to answer the question, or they can reply  directly to the email and the response is logged on the site and sent to the  potential buyer.  This means that if  either the seller or the potential buyer is out of the office or away from  their desk, they can communicate quickly through their email account, even if  it’s on their mobile phone.  No matter  the way the response is made, all communication is logged in their  ContainerAuction.com account.
 Managing shipping container sales (http://containerauction.com/advanced-search) of any volume can be a  tedious, detail focused task.  Updating  potential buyers, managing offers and answering questions all take time.  Whether a seller creates a private,  commercial, or retail listing they automatically have access to the powerful  trading platform designed specifically for shipping containers.  Notifications are automatically sent to all  connected buyers, messages, bidding and purchases are logged directly into the  system without having to manage and touch data multiple times, and buyers have  24 hours access to your real time inventory – no more out dated PDF or Excel  files.  To top it off, corporate accounts  on ContainerAuction.com have the ability to create multiple users that have  shared access to listings, messages, and other reports and content.
 If you work for a large shipping line, container leasing  company, or involved in container trading of any size, ContainerAuction.com’s  online shipping container sales software can help you increase your market  reach and create a more efficient sales environment.  If you’re interested in learning more about how  to buy or sell shipping containers online (http://containerauction.com/), contact a ContainerAuction.com  representative to schedule a demonstration.
