Platform Features

Everything Your Depot Needs

A comprehensive suite of modules that covers every operational need — from container tracking and damage surveys to invoicing and analytics.

Container Management

Track every container across its entire lifecycle. Record container details, ownership, type, size, grade, and complete movement history from the moment it enters your depot.

Survey & Inspection

Conduct detailed damage surveys with photographic evidence. Grade containers, identify damage components with CEDEX codes, and capture measurements for accurate estimation.

Estimation & Costing

Create line-item repair estimations with component codes, repair methods, material costs, and labor hours. Rates auto-apply from liner agreements for instant, accurate costing.

Approval Workflows

Shipping lines review and approve estimations in-app with full visibility into every line item. Support for full approval, rejection, and partial approval of individual items.

Repair Tracking

Track repair progress from authorization through completion. Monitor materials consumed, labor hours, and compare actual costs against approved estimates.

Pre-Gate-Out Booking

Manage gate-out bookings with validation against repair completion, outstanding invoices, and documentation requirements. Ensure containers only leave when fully processed.

Invoicing & Billing

GST-compliant invoicing with automatic charge calculations for handling, repair, storage, and survey. Sync with Zoho Books. Configurable templates with depot branding.

Reporting & Analytics

Six automated report types with smart scheduling. DMR, Stock, LOLO, Status, Estimation, and All-in-One reports. Excel and PDF output with email delivery.
