Key capabilities

Everything you need to control your container fleet.

Six capabilities, one platform — from live tracking to automated billing and repair workflows.

Visibility

Real-time container tracking

Live visibility across ports, depots, and locations with full movement history and status access — every unit, every event, as it happens.

Inventory

Inventory & imbalance visibility

Global stock visibility and imbalance monitoring by location — surplus and shortage positions that support smarter allocation and repositioning.

Contracts

Lease & sublease management

Manage contracts, usage tracking, and per diem calculations with full control and transparency — owned, leased, and subleased equipment alike.

Billing

Automated billing workflows

Automated lease and per diem billing generated straight from tracked movements — less manual effort, fewer disputes, no revenue leakage.

M&R

Maintenance & repair management

End-to-end repair workflow from damage flag to estimate, approval, and invoicing — across multiple vendors and locations.

Insight

Analytics, forecasts & dashboards

Dashboards and forecasts covering utilisation, repair costs, and imbalance trends — faster decisions backed by live fleet data.

Feature spotlight · One connected lifecycle

From inventory to billing. One integrated platform.

Every lifecycle stage lives in one system: a gate-in updates inventory, movements accrue per diem, damage triggers the M&R workflow, and every event lands in the analytics layer — with full audit trail and role-based access throughout.

  • Gate-in to gate-out — every movement tracked live, with complete history per unit.
  • Movements become money — lease and per diem billed straight from tracked events.
  • Damage to invoice — estimates, approvals, and vendor invoicing in one controlled flow.
  • Every event audited — role-based access and real-time status updates across all stages.

Proven in operation

How shipping lines use EMS.

Four ways equipment and finance teams run their fleet on it every day.

Inventory ops

Reduce empty equipment imbalance

Equipment teams improve visibility into surplus and shortage positions across locations — supporting smarter repositioning and lowering avoidable equipment movement costs.

Billing control

Improve lease & per diem accuracy

Finance teams automate contract-based lease tracking and billing calculations — reducing disputes, delays, and revenue leakage.

M&R workflow

Streamline container maintenance & repair

Operations teams manage repair estimates, approvals, cost visibility, vendor coordination, and invoicing from one controlled workflow.

Live tracking

Gain real-time operational visibility

Operations teams track equipment movement, utilisation, history, and exception status in real time — for faster operational decision-making.
