AI-powered container repair, end to end.
Container inspections, AI damage detection, estimates, and repair workflows — one connected platform.
Damage detection, coding & estimates
Inspection to release, one workflow
Live status from yard teams & vendors
Tariff-based estimates into ERP ledgers
Key capabilities
Damage detection, coding, estimation, and repair lifecycle management.
Detect, classify, and assess container damage automatically from images — IICL codes applied without manual intervention, confirmed by surveyors.
Accurate estimates generated instantly from damage recognition, repair rules, and pre-agreed tariff logic.
Damage locations on an interactive 3D container model — faster assessments and better repair planning.
Inspections, approvals, repairs, vendors, billing, and complete repair history in one connected workflow.
Contracts, estimates, and survey reports digitized with AI-powered OCR — the correct rates always in effect.
Approved repair partners view assigned jobs, update status, upload completion photos, and submit invoices — role-based, in real time.
Feature spotlight · OCR contract processing
Upload a vendor contract and the OCR pipeline extracts, validates, location-maps, and stages 8,000+ contract rows in under a minute — nine fields per row, two independent phases, full user control at every step.
Proven in operation
From yard surveyors to shipping line managers — CMR adapts to every role.
Depot teams eliminate paper damage reporting, digitize gate-in inspections, and automate survey workflows with mobile-first tools that sync to the central system.
Repair teams receive structured job orders, update status in real time, and access approved tariff rates without back-and-forth email.
Finance teams get auto-generated estimates tied to approved tariffs — accurate invoicing, faster approvals, tighter governance.
Shipping lines get full container condition history, damage photos, and repair records on demand — fewer disputes, stronger accountability.

Frequently asked questions
The CMR System (Container Maintenance and Repair) is Solverminds' digital platform for managing the end-to-end container repair lifecycle — from depot arrival and damage inspection through AI-coded estimates, repair execution, and final release. It replaces manual paperwork with a fully connected digital workflow.
Surveyors upload damage images through the mobile or desktop interface. The AI engine analyzes each image, identifies damage types, applies the correct IICL damage codes, and auto-generates an estimate based on pre-agreed tariff rates — without manual intervention.
The OCR engine reads scanned CMR contracts and extracts key data — tariff rates, repair limits, approval thresholds, and party details. Extracted terms are applied automatically to all relevant workflows, eliminating manual re-entry and ensuring the correct rates are always in effect.
Yes. The CMR System provides API-based integration with ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle, and others) and Terminal Operating Systems. Container movement data, repair records, and cost entries can be synchronized bidirectionally to eliminate duplicate data entry.
Both deployment models are supported. The cloud-hosted SaaS option enables rapid onboarding with no infrastructure overhead. On-premise and private cloud deployments are available for organizations with specific data residency or security requirements. Both deliver the full feature set.
CMR supports multi-depot organizations with centralized data visibility and location-specific workflows. Each depot manages its own inspections, repairs, and vendor relationships while headquarters maintains consolidated reporting, standardized tariffs, and cross-depot benchmarking.
Yes. CMR includes a vendor portal where approved repair partners can view assigned jobs, update work status, upload completion photos, and submit invoices — all within role-based access controls.
CMR natively supports IICL (Institute of International Container Lessors) damage codes and can be configured for custom or region-specific coding standards. The AI engine is trained on IICL standards but can be extended to proprietary classification schemes.
SaaS deployments typically go live within 2-4 weeks including user training and initial data migration. On-premise deployments require 6-12 weeks to account for infrastructure setup, security reviews, and ERP connectivity.
Yes. The mobile application supports offline inspection and damage capture. Surveyors can record container conditions, take photos, and input damage codes in areas with limited connectivity; data syncs automatically when network access is restored.
Why it matters
Solverminds CMR System is a comprehensive container maintenance and repair platform built specifically for depot operators, shipping lines, and repair vendors. It connects inspection workflows, AI damage detection, tariff management, and cost control into a single integrated system — giving depot managers, surveyors, and finance teams a shared, real-time view of all repair operations.
Repair tracking is live from gate-in through completion, with updates from yard teams and vendors as they happen. Damage coding and estimate generation are automated from uploaded photos and pre-agreed tariff contracts, and live cost data flows into ERP ledgers — eliminating manual reconciliation and keeping repair budgets synchronized.
With ERP connectivity, automated deviation alerts, and per-container tracking, CMR transforms container maintenance from historical reporting into an active driver of operational decisions.
