Gate automation, yard stacking, equipment dispatch, damage inspection, billing, and live KPI dashboards — one SaaS platform that handles every container move from check-in to release. No spreadsheets. No radio calls. Live in 7 days.

Paper logs, VHF radio, and gut-feel stacking worked when your yard moved 200 boxes a day. At higher volumes, every manual step becomes a bottleneck — gate queues grow, containers get lost, re-handles multiply, and invoices go out late.
Manual ID checks, paper EIRs, and radio calls to the yard. Trucks wait 40+ minutes at the gate while drivers and clerks swap paperwork. Every minute of delay cascades into missed slots.
Without algorithm-driven block assignment, operators drop containers wherever there's space. Result: 30% more re-handles, crane cycles wasted on reshuffles, and a yard map that exists only in someone's head.
Damage goes unrecorded until a customer complains. Repair estimates are handwritten. Costs get lost between the yard, the workshop, and finance. IICL compliance is a hope, not a process.
Storage charges calculated in Excel, days after the container leaves. Shipping lines dispute half the invoices. Finance chases revenue instead of collecting it. You're leaving money on the yard.
A container handling system represents an integrated cloud platform managing complete lifecycles for containers inside any facility — from when a truck arrives at entry gates until an invoice is paid. It replaces disconnected tools with a single real-time system that your gate clerks, yard planners, dispatchers, inspectors, and billing team all share.
Automated check-in with container ID capture, appointment booking, self-service kiosks, and digital EIR. Truck turn time drops from 40 minutes to under 10.
AI-driven stacking, real-time equipment dispatch, interactive yard map, and live inventory. Every container position is known — always.
Damage inspection, repair management, automated invoicing, tariff engine, and analytics dashboard. From first scratch to final invoice — fully tracked.
Automated check-in with container ID capture, pre-booked time slots, self-service kiosks, and digital EIR generation. No more paper forms or manual scheduling.
AI-driven stacking rules, smart block planning, real-time RTG/RS job lists, and interactive inventory maps. Every container placed by algorithm, not by guesswork.
Record damage with photos, issue repair requests, track repair history and costs. IICL-compliant estimates generate automatically from check-in to empty release.
Automated invoicing per movement with real-time tariff calculations. Storage, handling, and repair charges generated instantly. Per-client billing rules enforce transparent fees.
Live KPI dashboards, custom report builder, and scheduled email digests. Dive into operator productivity, asset utilisation, and move-rate trends from any device.
RESTful endpoints, EDI messaging (CODECO, COARRI, COPARN), webhook triggers, and bulk import/export via CSV. Connect to any PCS, TMS, or ERP — no middleware.
Truck arrives → container ID captured → appointment validated → damage inspected → EIR generated → slot assigned. Under 10 minutes.
Stacking algorithm picks the optimal block. Equipment dispatch sends the job to the nearest reach stacker or RTG. Container grounded in the right spot, first time.
Every move logged in real time. Repairs tracked with photos. Reefer monitoring active. Inventory syncs automatically. Customers see status via the portal.
Container released on system command. Storage, handling, and repair charges calculated automatically. Invoice dispatched via EDI. KPI dashboards refresh live.
Optimised for regional ICDs handling gate, yard, and M&R in a single system.
Handles rail and road container flows with intermodal scheduling and yard coordination.
Scalable from single-berth to multi-berth facilities with berth planning add-on.
Full handling capabilities for private facilities seeking robust depot management without TOS complexity.

We map your gate lanes, yard layout, equipment fleet, handling rules, and tariff structure. Existing data imports via CSV or API.
Yard zones, stacking rules, billing tariffs, user roles, and EDI connections configured and tested against your real scenarios.
Gate clerks, yard planners, inspectors, dispatchers, and billing staff trained on their specific workflows. Video library included.
Production launch with dedicated success engineer. 30-day hypercare period to fine-tune workflows and hit your KPI targets.
The system is designed for inland container depots (ICDs), dry ports, regional marine terminals, and private container yards. It scales from a single-gate yard handling 100 containers a day to multi-gate facilities processing thousands. You activate only the modules you need and add more as your operation grows.
Inspectors capture damage with photos on a tablet during gate-in. The system auto-generates IICL-compliant repair estimates, routes approval requests to the shipping line, creates work orders, and tracks the entire repair lifecycle through to billing. Every scratch, dent, and patch is logged with timestamps and photos.
Yes. The system offers RESTful API endpoints, GraphQL queries, EDI messaging (CODECO, COARRI, COPARN), webhook triggers, and bulk CSV import/export. Data syncs bidirectionally in real time — no middleware needed. We've integrated with major PCS platforms and ERP systems globally.
The AI stacking engine considers container weight, destination, predicted dwell time, equipment reach, and outbound booking data to assign the optimal yard position. It minimises re-handles by pre-positioning containers that will leave sooner on top of longer-dwell units. RTG and reach stacker job lists update in real time.
Yes. The tariff engine supports per-client, per-shipping-line, and per-container-type billing rules. Storage charges, handling fees, lift-on/lift-off, demurrage, and repair costs calculate automatically the moment a container moves. Invoices dispatch via EDI or through the customer self-service portal.
2-3 days. Setup completes in a single afternoon, followed by onboarding and launch within 48 to 72 hours. Because it's SaaS, there's no hardware to buy and no server to install. A dedicated success engineer stays with your team for 30 days after launch.
Every yard is different. Tell us about your gate setup, yard layout, and equipment fleet — and we'll show you exactly how the system handles your daily moves from check-in to release.
