Track. Bill. Repair. Optimize.
Integrated equipment control that tracks every container in real time — and turns each movement into automated lease & per diem billing, from gate-in to analytics.
Gate-in · Jebel Ali depot
Live stock, movement & status across ports and depots
Automated lease & per diem calculations
Faster M&R turnaround, less idle time
Depots, ports & regions in one view
Key capabilities
Six capabilities, one platform — from live tracking to automated billing and repair workflows.
Live visibility across ports, depots, and locations with full movement history and status access — every unit, every event, as it happens.
Global stock visibility and imbalance monitoring by location — surplus and shortage positions that support smarter allocation and repositioning.
Manage contracts, usage tracking, and per diem calculations with full control and transparency — owned, leased, and subleased equipment alike.
Automated lease and per diem billing generated straight from tracked movements — less manual effort, fewer disputes, no revenue leakage.
End-to-end repair workflow from damage flag to estimate, approval, and invoicing — across multiple vendors and locations.
Dashboards and forecasts covering utilisation, repair costs, and imbalance trends — faster decisions backed by live fleet data.
Feature spotlight · One connected lifecycle
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.

Proven in operation
Four ways equipment and finance teams run their fleet on it every day.
Equipment teams improve visibility into surplus and shortage positions across locations — supporting smarter repositioning and lowering avoidable equipment movement costs.
Finance teams automate contract-based lease tracking and billing calculations — reducing disputes, delays, and revenue leakage.
Operations teams manage repair estimates, approvals, cost visibility, vendor coordination, and invoicing from one controlled workflow.
Operations teams track equipment movement, utilisation, history, and exception status in real time — for faster operational decision-making.

Why it matters
Solverminds Equipment Management System (EMS) is a modern container equipment management platform built for shipping lines and liner operators that need real-time visibility into container inventory, empty imbalance status, leasing, per diem billing, repair management, tracking, and equipment lifecycle control.
By combining inventory monitoring, maintenance and repair workflows, automated billing, analytics, and operational visibility in one integrated platform, EMS helps shipping companies improve utilization, reduce manual effort, lower repositioning costs, strengthen financial accuracy, and make faster decisions across global equipment operations.
As an enterprise-grade module within the SVM Liner Resource Planning suite, EMS connects directly to booking, depot, M&R, and financial systems — so equipment decisions are never made in isolation from their commercial impact.
