Everything your depot needs.
One platform. Zero gaps.

depoViz covers the full operational lifecycle — from the first gate pass to the final payment.

Gate Operations

Digitise every gate pass — IN and OUT — with ISO 6346 container validation, EIR generation, and automated shipping line email notifications.

Yard Management

Visualise your yard as a live colour-coded 2D grid or switch to a fully interactive 3D WebGL scene — no plugin required. Enforce stacking rules, manage zone types, and move containers with full audit trail.

Work Orders

Create repair, cleaning, PTI, and conversion job orders. Manage line items, approve estimates, and track job cost against budget.

Tariff & Billing

Configure slab-rate storage tariffs with tiered day ranges. Charge codes fire automatically per event, resolved by customer profile, per-line override, size/type, and effective window — with tax components built in.

Invoicing

Run automated billing cycles — daily, weekly, monthly. Generate branded PDF invoices with full line-item detail and bank payment instructions.

D&D Management

Track Detention & Demurrage accruals in real time. Configure free day matrices per customer and shipping line. Raise and approve disputes with full audit trail.

Payments

Record payments, allocate to invoices, and track outstanding balances. Generate customer account statements with running balance.

Reports & Analytics

Gate In/Out, inventory, dwell time, yard utilisation, revenue, ageing, and repair cost reports — exportable to CSV and Excel.

Multi-Channel Notifications

Send branded gate alerts by email, SMS, and WhatsApp automatically on every gate event — with an in-app notification centre and a visual alert-rule builder.

AI Container Scan

Snap a photo of any container and on-device AI optical recognition reads the number — completing and validating the ISO 6346 check digit automatically. No typing at the gate.

Custom Reports

Build bespoke reports as plug-ins — define filters and a query in a simple file and the report appears in the UI automatically, with live filters and one-click CSV & Excel export.

EDI Integration

Exchange EDI messages with shipping lines and partners automatically — Jinja2 templates per message type, per-line partner routing, and event-triggered outbound delivery with a full send log.

Document Management

Attach photos, EIRs, certificates, and contracts to any record. Track expiry on time-sensitive documents with dashboard widgets and a daily digest so nothing lapses unnoticed.

Inventory & Stock

Manage repair and conversion parts with batch tracking. Pick stock straight into job-cost sheets and keep on-hand quantities accurate as work orders consume material.

Admin & Settings

Configure charge codes, tariff profiles, meta fields, email/SMS/WhatsApp and EDI providers, bank details, user roles, and alert rules — all without code changes.

Gate Operations

Every container arrival
and departure — captured perfectly.

Gate operators create a gate pass in seconds — or simply snap a photo and let AI optical recognition read the container number for them. depoViz validates it against the ISO 6346 check-digit algorithm, confirms the customer is authorised for the shipping line, and assigns a yard slot automatically.

On finalisation, the system simultaneously:

  • Generates a numbered EIR PDF for the driver
  • Creates an active custody record (one per container — hard enforced)
  • Places the container in the correct yard slot
  • Records a billable GATE_IN event for invoicing
  • Dispatches a branded email notification to the shipping line

Yard Management

A live view of every slot,
bay, and tier in your yard.

depoViz renders your entire yard as a colour-coded Bay-Row-Tier grid. Green slots are empty. Blue are occupied. Amber are pre-allocated. Click any cell to see the container number and move it — or flip to 3D view for a depth-accurate walkthrough of the bay. New arrivals are placed automatically, and every manual move is fully audited.

The system enforces stacking and placement rules automatically:

  • Smart auto-assignment — ground-first placement, co-located by shipping line
  • Weight-aware stacking — heavier containers never placed on lighter ones
  • High-cube height limits and 40 ft two-slot pairing enforced per stack
  • Reefer containers routed to power-point zones only
  • Dangerous-goods (IMDG) containers segregated into isolated zones
  • Survey / quarantine routing for condemned containers
Interactive 3D View

Step inside your yard.
No plugin required.

One click switches any bay from the 2D plan to a fully interactive 3D scene rendered with WebGL — right inside the browser. Orbit freely, zoom in on a stack, or pan across the full bay. The view starts oriented with Row 1 and Column 1 in the foreground, exactly how your operators walk the yard.

  • Occupied containers — solid blue boxes with directional lighting
  • Empty slots — translucent ghost outlines so the yard structure stays visible
  • Hover any container to see a floating label — number, position, status
  • Same live data as the 2D plan — switch views without reload
  • Enterprise TOS capability — shipped as a standard feature, no add-on required

Tariff & Billing Engine

Slab-rate storage billing
that handles every edge case.

Storage tariffs are complex. depoViz resolves every charge from the customer's tariff profile — or a per-shipping-line override — matched by container size/type and the profile's effective window. Charge codes fire automatically on the events you choose, so a single gate-in can raise a gate-in fee and a lift-on/off fee in one move.

Slab rates tier automatically as containers dwell longer:

Days 1–5$10.00 / day(free days: 3)
Days 6–15$15.00 / day
Days 16+$20.00 / day
Total for 20-day dwell$270.00 ✓
  • Event-triggered charge codes — fire on Gate In, Gate Out, or Storage automatically
  • Per-shipping-line tariff overrides on top of each customer's default profile
  • Multi-size rates, with a catch-all fallback for any size not explicitly listed
  • Profile-wide effective windows — extend every rate in a single edit
  • Tax components applied per charge and itemised on the invoice
  • Contiguous slabs enforced — and it never silently bills $0

  • Gate In Report
  • Gate Out Report
  • Inventory Snapshot
  • Dwell Time Analysis
  • Yard Utilisation
  • Throughput Chart

The full platform. Nothing missing.

Repair Workflow

Full inspection → estimate → approval → job cost sheet → invoice lifecycle for repair orders.

Conversion Work Orders

Manage container fit-out projects with dedicated estimate and cost tracking separate from repairs.

Customer Management

Customer profiles, billing details, credit limits, payment terms, and shipping line authorisations.

Shipping Line Management

Register shipping lines, assign container fleets, link agent customers, and configure gate email templates per line.

Container Registry

Master container records with ISO 6346 validation, grade tracking, CSC expiry monitoring, and bulk CSV import.

Meta Fields

Add custom fields to any entity — containers, gate passes, work orders, customers — at runtime with no code changes.

Delivery Log & Retry

Every notification and EDI message is logged with delivery status and one-click retry on failure — email, SMS, WhatsApp, and EDI alike.

Audit Log

Immutable record of every data mutation — who changed what, when, and from what value — across every module.

Role-Based Access

Six built-in roles (Admin, Manager, Gate Operator, Yard Operator, Billing, Viewer) with fine-grained permission checks.

Multi-Bank Support

Configure multiple bank accounts per currency; all appear on invoice PDFs per your display preferences.

"Before depoViz, we were managing gate passes in spreadsheets and billing from memory. Now every container move, every slab-rate charge, every invoice is tracked automatically. We cut our billing cycle from 5 days to same-day."
