Depot View
Users can subscribe to a Depot view. The depot section sits at the bottom of the Track & Trace screen and shows Gate In and Gate Out information at over 18 depots including the Ports of Auckland Link facility. A full list of depots is available here, https://portconnect.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUG/pages/2718695455
The depot view is a separate service to Subscribed Track & Trace and users can subscribe to the view even if they are not currently registered for Subscribed Track & Trace. However, Subscribed Track & Trace users do have access to a greater level of detail such as specific gate times.
The Depot view is a subscription service. Visit our pricing page for the full pricing details, https://www.portconnect.co.nz/#/content/pricing
