Stop copying ETAs by hand
If you manage import or export shipments, you have seen the spreadsheet problem: dozens of Bill of Lading numbers, carrier websites that all look different, and ETAs that drift out of date the moment you export the sheet.
Melsun Shipment Tracking automates that loop. Upload your file, let AI figure out which column is the BL number and which is the shipping line, then run a single job that refreshes ETAs and returns an updated Excel file plus a PDF summary.
How it works
- Upload — Drop an Excel, CSV, or PDF tracking sheet. Multi-section workbooks are supported.
- AI column mapping — Melsun reads headers and sample rows, then proposes mappings for BL number, carrier, and optional ETA columns. You confirm before anything runs.
- Carrier lookup — Each row is checked against Maersk, MSC, or CMA CGM depending on the shipping line.
- Download results — Get an updated spreadsheet with refreshed ETAs and a PDF report you can share with your team.
For Maersk BLs with multiple containers, Melsun uses the earliest port-of-discharge date — the first cargo landed — so your sheet reflects the most conservative arrival window.

Supported carriers
| Carrier | What Melsun tracks |
|---|---|
| Maersk | BL-level ETA at final port of discharge |
| MSC | Bill of lading status and arrival dates |
| CMA CGM | Container voyage ETAs from public tracking |
Melsun normalizes carrier names in your sheet — minor spelling differences usually still route correctly.
Tips for better results
- Include a shipping line column — even if carrier names are abbreviated, AI mapping works best with a dedicated column.
- Keep BL numbers clean — remove extra spaces; use one BL per row when possible.
- Start small — test with 5–10 rows on your first free run to validate mappings before scaling up.
- Re-upload weekly — ETAs change; a fresh run beats manually editing stale dates.
What you get back
After a successful run:
- Updated Excel — your original structure with Melsun-refreshed ETA columns
- PDF summary — a shareable snapshot of tracked, skipped, and unavailable rows
- Row-level status — see which BLs updated, which carriers were unsupported, and which rows failed
