The Smart Way Forward

Pass & Stow™ isn’t just a Terminal Operating System—it’s a profit engine for modern seaports.

Built for breakbulk, containers, neo-bulk, project cargo, and bulk materials, it drives revenue, strengthens customer loyalty, and streamlines operations.

Designed for today’s maritime challenges, Pass & Stow™ transforms terminals into hubs of efficiency and profitability.

At Pass & Stow™, we know a smarter TOS starts with people.

Labor-Driven Design

We’ve built strong partnerships with labor, ensuring their input, suggestions, and expertise directly shape the system.

Easy to Use

Applications designed for efficiency empower teams to handle more cargo, protect jobs, and create new ones.

Financially Smarter

In today’s budget climate, technology must not only pay for itself but also generate revenue.

OpEx, Not CapEx

We shift the financial conversation from large upfront investments to manageable operating expenses that deliver immediate ROI.

About Us

Pass&Stow LLC is a product from ePortation Inc. founded in 2002. We build data logistics software streamlining operational data flow through dynamic environments.

From day one, our focus has been on the people in the field—not just the code. Our principle is clear: “If it doesn’t work at 2 a.m. in the pouring rain, it doesn’t work at all.”

Unlike most seaport Terminal Operating Systems (TOS) that begin with accounting and push down to operations, we built ours from the ground up—starting with the dock, where accuracy and efficiency matter most.

Our small, dedicated team, blends deep shipping expertise with agile technology design.

We work hand-in-hand with labor and supervisors to meet operational needs while respecting the established processes of global shipping.

Data Logistics

Data logistics is the discipline of collecting, validating, storing, moving, and delivering data across systems and stakeholders. It treats data as an operational asset—ensuring the right data, in the right format, reaches the right place at the right time.

It covers integration, quality, timeliness, and security as data flows through an organization’s digital supply chain.

Key Aspects:

Acquisition – capture from diverse sources (IoT, sensors, transactions, users).
Transformation & Validation – clean, normalize, and ensure accuracy.
Transport & Routing – move data securely (APIs, ETL, streams).
Storage & Accessibility – organize for retrieval and use.
Governance & Compliance – control access, ensure privacy, meet regulations.

Process Flow Analysis

Process flow analysis examines how tasks, decisions, and resources move through a business process to uncover inefficiencies, redundancies, or risks.

It maps activities, evaluates inputs and outputs, and measures performance to drive improvement.
