NAVIS Sparcs N4

What is NAVIS N4?

Navis is the global standard for terminal operating systems (TOS). N4 offers our customers better processes and optimized planning for the movement of commodities through the Port of Port of Spain (PPOS). Recently PPOS has upgraded N4 to the General Cargo Module (GCM); an expansion to the NAVIS N4 terminal operating system that aims to digitize and enhance PPOS’ services to our customers.

GCM introduces a better customer experience and improved efficiencies by giving increased access to timely data and performance metrics.

Through authorized access, customers are now able to achieve true inventory control. To request access email itmanifest@patnt.com.
