JADE Master Terminal (JMT) is the flagship product in Jade's logistics, general cargo and container terminal operating system (TOS). It has been in use in a significant number of dynamic port operations in New Zealand since 1994 and has been adapted to meet the challenges the global shipping industry faces in an extremely cost-effective manner.

Today, the system runs multi-terminal, multi-discipline ports and depot operations: containers, logs, motor vehicles, general cargo and bulk cargoes with a very comprehensive, truly integrated solution to the issues that face a real world operation, cost, efficiency, turnaround time and prompt invoicing for services rendered, all in one easy-to-use package.

JADE Master Terminal is a dream to install, it is deployed to both your internal users and external clients entirely using automatically updated thin clients over Internet connections and requires no additional licenses to run the software out of the box.

JADE Master Terminal competes head to head with the proclaimed "Industry Standard" software packages and exposes their operational weaknesses, it is cohesive, consistent, reliable, stable and scales from small operations through to the mega-terminals without change.

The software has already completed the industry standard 7 year redesign and redevelopment phase and has superseded other offerings in the marketplace with an integrated, very affordable software operating system for ports, inland terminals and warehouses globally.

JADE Master Terminal is composed of 4 core capabilities:

• Container Core
• Warehousing Core
• Vessel Scheduling Core (VTMIS)
• Log Marshalling Core

Each core may be optioned without the others, and any combination of core functionality can be used in a single system.

Please browse through the high level capabilities of the system, and check back here often for an update as we take logistics processing to the next stage.

Port Nelson have recently upgraded their existing Teklogix narrow band RDT equipment with state-of-the-art heavily ruggedized laptops running the Jade Smart Thin Client Jade Master Terminal application using Telecom's CDMA cellphone cellular network for communications to and from the devices.

Geoff Shepard from Port Nelson states they are extremely impressed with the minimal bandwidth being used by the JMT application's smart forms which are all touch-screen high definition colour units mounted in the terminal's fork lift machinery, with bandwidth consumption well under expectations making this a very cost-effective option to maintaining your own 802.11 or narrow band radio data network. In addition, because the system is using cellular encrypted telephone technology the signals are completely unaffected by steel structures, the radio network is no longer Port Nelson's responsibility.

Feedback from the machinery drivers' is overwhelmingly positive, with workshops held at the port between staff and JMT developers to determine the optimum screen layouts that fitted how they actually do their job.
