Evergreen selects P4 Warehouse to manage fiscal and non-fiscal 3PL operations in Panama

Colon Container Terminal (CCT), one of the group's key logistics assets Evergreen Marine Corp., has completely modernized its bonded and non-bonded 3PL operations by implementing P4 Warehouse, the next-generation warehouse management system (WMS) from P4 Software, along with state-of-the-art industrial automation equipment Zebra Technologies: the ultra-rugged mobile scanner Zebra MC9400 and the industrial printer ZT411.

Located in the Colón Logistics ParkAt the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal, CCT now operates a unified WMS platform spanning fiscal and non-fiscal zones—with real-time traceability, increased efficiency, and full customs compliance.


🟦 A strategic decision by Evergreen

Evergreen Marine Corp., one of the world's top five shipping companies, needs to maintain high-level standardized operations in every port. In Latin America, this strategic operation is CCT, a 3PL logistics center that handles fiscal (under customs control) and non-fiscal operations.

With increasing cargo volume and regulatory pressure, Evergreen needed more than a simple WMS. It needed a digital platform capable of:

  • Simultaneously control fiscal and non-fiscal zones

  • Issue GS1 labels in accordance with international standards

  • Automate flows using RF technology

  • Integrate with SAP Business One

  • Ensure traceability and compliance for audits


🟩 The solution: P4 Warehouse + Zebra MC9400 + ZT411
