A SaaS container depot management system for gate processing, terminal inventory, M&R, and storage billing. It gives ICD teams scalable software tools to run accurate container moves, maintenance work, EDI/API integration, and ERP billing without spreadsheets or disconnected apps.

Turnaround times suffer when gate bottlenecks limit terminal performance. Planners cannot track equipment, reefer status, or maintenance conditions accurately, reducing operational efficiency and increasing costs.
gate checkers misread container prefixes. That data feeds into the terminal operating system (TOS) late; EIR details are wrong.
A shipping principal asks about a specific asset (e.g., Food Grade 40HC). Lost units? That's not yard management — that's costly demurrage exposure.
Storage charges calculated manually. Handling fees cobbled together from gate logs. Repair invoices that don't match the estimates. Every month, your accounting team reconstructs what should have been tracked automatically.
Shipping lines expect CODECO messages. Your team sends them manually — or doesn't send them at all. Without EDI built into your depot management software, you're always one step behind.
This cloud based ICD software handles each stage from transport arrival to dispatch and invoice payment. The system gives terminal teams a real time monitoring view, accurate records, and better utilization of depot resources.
It replaces Excel, paper forms, and fragmented tools, connecting gate clerks, yard supervisors, M&R teams, and finance so each department works from the same container depot management data.
CYMS is an advanced digital solution engineered specifically for empty storage yards. It also supports inland container depots (ICDs) and container freight stations (CFS). It is not a generic warehouse management platform awkwardly adapted for containers. Every workflow — from IICL-based structural assessments to COARRI/EDI messaging — is designed precisely for how modern yards optimize capacity. We validated this architecture across 20+ top-tier facilities.
An integrated depot management system to improve terminal workflows, with EDI/API data flows, FIFO logic, maintenance records, and smart container planning in one platform. For ICD and empty container depot operations, CYMS keeps modular tied to real operational workflows such as gate.
Eight specialized modules that control the flow from gate interchange to dynamic invoice. Each one works independently, yet they tightly run together.
Gate OCR/LPR automation handles transport pre-advise, CSC plating, and fast-track processing. The terminal system reduces TAT below 3 minutes and keeps each container movement traceable.
Tracks every container by shipping line, ISO type, condition, depot location, and terminal stack position. Automated reports give partners complete visibility without manual status calls.
A mobile app for staff and surveyors. Annotate structural damage, upload proofs, and create maintenance estimates using strict IICL standards to control costs.
Maintenance tools cover the full cycle: survey, estimate, approval, work order, completion, and billing. The software tracks parts, labor, and costs across every container.
Billing logic calculates lift-on/lift-off tariffs based on daily dwell, terminal services, and customer agreements. Invoices compile from gate and operational data.
Native EDI compliance for empty depots: CODECO, COARRI, COREOR, COPARN. Connects directly to ocean lines and port authorities securely.
Cloud logistics software for empty container depots and intermodal inland terminals. Whether handling 50 or 5,000 moves a day, the scalable architecture fits changing business requirements.
Real time KPIs for asset tracking, dwell, capacity, maintenance backlog, and gate queues. Dashboards give depot managers and shipping principals a clear business view for faster decisions.
Legacy container management platforms bottleneck during peaks. CYMS accelerates the operational rhythm.
Operator logs an EIR. The application cross-references booking details, validates ISO codes, and creates accurate condition records before trucks unload.
Containers are tracked in real time by location, PTI status, storage dwell, and stack position. Partners can query inventory through a B2B portal.
Surveyor estimates transmit to lines for approval through automated EDI. Maintenance work orders are tracked, and labor is logged.
The platform audits LOLO rules, storage, handling, and repairs. Gate-out is processed, CODECO confirmation fires, and invoices sync to ERP.
Aggregated across deployments. Results vary by facility size, cargo mix, and previous automation.
A modern depot management system only works if it connects to shipping lines, customs, intermodal rail partners, supply chain systems, your enterprise backend, and OCR cameras. CYMS was designed to provide comprehensive links.
Native EDI support automatically generates CODECO, COARRI, and COPARN messages on container events. If a line uses a digital portal, the same software integration supports that communication too.
REST endpoints let you push financial data to SAP, Oracle, or other applications. Webhooks fire in real-time, syncing your backend without batch imports.
Not every depot needs enterprise software. But if you're still running on Excel and email, here's what the gap looks like.
| Capability / CYMS Platform / Spreadsheets | ||
|---|---|---|
| Container depot management | Real-time system | Manual |
| Gate-in / gate-out processing | Under 3 minutes | Paper tickets |
| Damage inspection & estimates | IICL codes & auto-estimates | Manual pricing |
| M&R workflow | Survey to billing | Lost approvals |
