KLN Online + VBO

Visibility And Control, At The Level You Actually Need

Every KLN Oceania customer gets real-time shipment visibility as standard. Some need more than that. So we built two levels — start with KLN Online, step up to VBO when your supply chain demands it.

Level 01

KLN Online

Best for: teams who need fast, reliable answers on individual shipments and clean reporting they can put in front of a stakeholder.

If you move freight with us, you have KLN Online. There is no separate onboarding project, no integration work and no additional cost — from your first shipment you can see where your cargo is, what's at risk, and what your freight is doing over time. It works at shipment level: bookings, containers, milestones, documents and performance across your whole file.

What You Get

  • Live track and trace across air, ocean and road, from origin collection to final delivery
  • Shipment status and detail, with timestamped milestones and transit-time analytics
  • Electronic document access — BLs, invoices, packing lists and certificates, available 24/7
  • Dashboards showing volumes, spend and lane performance against your agreed service levels
  • Exception flags and delay indicators so you find out before your customer does
  • Carbon emissions reporting by lane, mode and shipment
  • Scheduled or on-demand reports, delivered to whoever needs them
  • Mobile access via the Kerrier Track app, for tracking on the go

Which Level Is Right For You?

The difference is the level the data sits at. KLN Online tracks the shipment. VBO tracks the order that created it — and the vendor, the allocation and the SKUs inside it.

Level 02 · Full Control

VBO (Virtual Buying Office)

For supply chains where shipment-level visibility isn't enough.

Once you're managing hundreds of purchase orders across multiple vendors, markets and consolidation points, knowing where a container is only tells you part of the story. You need to know which orders are late at the factory, which vendor is booking outside your rules, and which shipment is about to blow an allocation. VBO is our upstream control platform. It connects your ERP, your vendors, your carriers and your DCs into one managed environment running on the rules you define — so your team only acts when something actually needs them.

Step Up To VBO When You Need

  • Visibility from PO creation, not from booking
  • Vendors booking directly, instead of chasing confirmations by email
  • Tracking down to SKU and style, colour and size
  • Carrier contracts and allocations enforced automatically
  • Exception-based management rather than shipment-by-shipment monitoring
  • Reporting and dashboards configured to your own metrics

Everything in KLN Online is included in VBO.
