A powerful container management software, specifically customized for companies with owned or leased containers
Our AI-driven software forecasts demand per container type and location up to 16 weeks in advance. It also calculates the optimal storage, repositioning, and maintenance strategy for empty containers. This enables proactive, data-driven empty container management on local, regional, or even global levels and provides full business process visibility. This results in the reduction of storage and repositioning costs and resolves container shortage issues while maintaining high service levels.
