Buyer evaluation guide
Use the recorded evidence below to plan a product demo or RFP discussion. This section does not rank Tideworks Mainsail or infer unsupported capabilities; it turns verified facts, conditions and research gaps into questions a buyer can validate.
Customer self-service portal: Forecast provides terminal customers with container information, clearance/demurrage status, notifications and online payments, but Forecast is a separate companion customer-service portal rather than base Mainsail functionality.
Shift / control-room dashboard: Mainsail 10 provides real-time visibility and highly configurable reporting, but a dedicated shift/control-room dashboard workflow is not separately established.
Equipment dispatch & control: Terminal equipment dispatch and control are documented through Tideworks Traffic Control, a companion product integrated with Mainsail.
Equipment position tracking: Traffic Control supports optional DGPS and standardized position-detection integrations, but equipment-position tracking belongs to the companion execution stack and may require external positioning technology.
43 capability facts remain research pending and should be confirmed during evaluation.
