Automated Tracking
Real-Time Visibility. Fewer Surprises. Faster Decisions.
W.M. Stone delivers smart, integrated tools that provide accurate, real-time updates, helping you reduce delays, improve customer satisfaction, and make faster decisions. As a licensed U.S. customs broker and freight forwarder, we pair that technology with a team that acts on what it sees rather than a dashboard that only reports it. From the first mile to final delivery, you get one accurate picture of where your freight is right now.
Tracking That Moves With You.
In today's fast-paced logistics world, manual tracking methods fall short. You need intelligent automation that keeps up with your operations and delivers continuous insights. W.M. Stone's Automated Tracking system offers end-to-end shipment visibility, helping you monitor cargo in real time across every leg of the journey.
From the moment a shipment is booked to the moment it clears its final delivery milestone, our Automated Tracking platform pulls status updates from carriers across every mode into a single, continuously updated view. Instead of calling a carrier or checking separate portals, your team logs into one dashboard, or receives a proactive alert, whenever a shipment's status changes. W.M. Stone brings 250+ years of combined industry experience to every shipment, continuing a long-standing Norfolk customs brokerage legacy. As a licensed U.S. customs broker and freight forwarder, we built our tracking tools around how freight actually moves, not just how software is supposed to work. Simplify shipment visibility with W.M. Stone: real-time tools backed by a team that already knows your cargo, your carriers, and your ports.
