ConPDS · Operational Evidence Platform for Container Operations

Container documentation that holds up.

Built to survive the dispute, the audit, and the years in between.

ConPDS is the operational evidence platform for container depots, reefer workshops, gate operations, and compliance teams. Inspection records, repair stages, gate events, and OCR reads are captured under validated ISO 6346 container numbers, retained on terms you control, and retrievable in seconds — for the disputed repair charge, the lessor or CSC audit, and the years of operational record between them. Field-tested across container operations in Europe and beyond since 2013.

What it costs to run container operations without an evidence layer

Container operations are run on evidence — repair charges, lease returns, CSC inspections, gate events, off-hire claims all depend on it. But most operations carry that evidence informally: photos in WhatsApp threads, paperwork at the gate, and OCR data trapped behind a vendor's API. The cost lands months later — as a written-off repair charge, a failed audit, a stalled gate queue, or a contested off-hire claim that nobody can defend.

Disputed repair charges you cannot defend

A repair claim lands six months after the container left. The matching evidence is on a phone that has since changed hands. You either pay the contested charge or absorb a repair you cannot prove was already there — every time.

A gate that caps the throughput of the entire operation

Every truck waits while someone retypes container numbers, finds the right job order, prints another EIR. Office staff handle every transaction instead of just the exceptions. Throughput stays tied to the slowest gate clerk, and there is no clean record of who did what.

An audit trail that is really a chat history

When a CSC, ACC, or lessor audit lands, the only record is a chat thread nobody owns — no retrieval, no access control, no tamper-evidence. When the inspector resigns, the operation's audit trail leaves with them, and a single staff change becomes a compliance event.

OCR data trapped behind someone else's API

Container numbers are captured at every truck, but they sit behind a vendor's platform. Wiring them into your DMS, gate logic, or operational reporting requires permission, paid integrations, and roadmap requests you may never get answered. You operate the gate, but you do not own the data flowing through it.

What changes when an evidence layer sits underneath the operation

When every inspection, repair stage, gate event, and OCR read is linked to a validated container number — and retained on terms the operator controls — the recurring failures stop being routine and start being exceptions.

Defensible repair claims and disputed-charge evidence

Every capture, every gate event, every distribution is logged and linked to the container number, the work order, and the responsible counterparty. When a contested charge lands six months later, the matched pre-repair, in-progress, and post-repair record is on screen in seconds — and the dispute moves from opinion to evidence.

Audit-ready records for CSC, ACC, lessor, and GDPR review

Tamper-evident capture, configurable retention per inspection type, role-based access, and an end-to-end audit log — one retrieval mechanism behind every audit. The inspection record stays defensible long after the original inspector has moved on, and the operation stops carrying staff-turnover risk on its compliance posture.

Standardised operations across depots, terminals, and lanes

The same container is documented the same way at every facility — gate-in, repair, lease return, wash, PTI, gate-out. The operating-model shift removes documentation quality from individual diligence and makes the inspection record reproducible across countries, sites, and shifts.

Operational visibility — every container's full history in seconds

Type the ISO 6346 number. Get inspection photos, repair stages, gate events, distribution log, and condition reports across every visit, every depot, every year. Operational reporting, claim defence, and audit production all run on the same retrieval, not three separate document hunts.

Three products. One evidence platform.

ConPDS records the container lifecycle as one continuous evidence trail — from the first inspection in the yard, through every workshop visit, to the gate-out event. Each product owns a distinct layer of that trail, and they integrate where the operation needs the records joined.

ConPDS Checker

Mobile Inspection & Repair Evidence Layer

The mobile evidence layer for inspection, repair, lease return, and PTI workflows in the yard. Photos and metadata are captured on iOS or Android, linked at the moment of capture to the ISO 6346-validated container number, and pushed into AEMS, DepotMaster, EOS, IMARS, OVMR, FIS, or any Custom API. Works fully offline; syncs automatically when connectivity returns.

ConPDS Tracker

On-Premise Container Number OCR Layer

GPU-powered, on-premise OCR that reads container numbers from any RTSP-compatible IP camera and publishes the results as open JSON via MQTT. No cloud dependency, no DMS lock-in, no permission to ask — your hardware, your data, your integration. Underpins both Autogate and customer-built gate logic.

ConPDS Autogate

Automated Gate Operations Layer

Camera-based automated container gate operations — driver-led kiosk flow with QR booking codes, OCR validation, and DepotMaster REST integration for reservation matching and barrier control. Every gate event becomes an EIR-linked, audit-ready record; standard transactions complete in seconds, not minutes.

New category hubs: container inspection infrastructure for the full operational stack, container repair evidence system for M&R claim defence, and container audit trail platform for governance and retrieval.

Who the evidence platform is built for

Container operations carry very different evidence needs across facility types and stakeholder roles — repair-claim defence at the depot, audit production at the leasing company, gate-event records at the terminal, deposit protection at the shipper. ConPDS is deployed across all of them, with workflow-specific configurations rather than one-size-fits-all assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions About ConPDS

What does ConPDS do? ▼

ConPDS is an operational evidence platform for container operations. Every inspection, repair stage, gate event, and OCR read is captured under a validated container number and retained on terms the operator controls — so a disputed repair charge, a CSC or lessor audit, an off-hire claim, or an internal review is settled with structured evidence rather than chat history. The platform consists of three products — Checker (mobile inspection evidence), Tracker (on-premise container number OCR), and Autogate (automated gate operations) — used together or independently across depots, reefer facilities, leasing companies, and shipping lines.

Which ConPDS product is right for our operation? ▼

Checker is the mobile evidence layer for inspection, repair, lease return, and PTI workflows in the yard. Tracker is the on-premise container number OCR layer for any operation integrating recognition into its own DMS, TOS, or gate system. Autogate is the end-to-end automated gate workflow for depots running DepotMaster. Operations using all three carry one continuous evidence record across the container lifecycle — from gate-in, through every workshop visit, to gate-out — under one retrieval mechanism.

Do the products work independently, or do we need all three? ▼

Each product works independently and can be deployed separately. They integrate naturally where workflows overlap — for example, Tracker's OCR feeds Autogate's gate flow, and Checker's mobile evidence links to gate events captured by Autogate.

What systems does ConPDS integrate with? ▼

ConPDS integrates with depot management systems including EOS, DepotMaster, and Maersk AEMS, M&R systems including IMARS, and shipping line systems including MSC OVMR, Hapag FIS, Saeco, and Triton — plus custom REST and FTP/SFTP integrations on request.

Where does ConPDS run — cloud, on-premise, or both? ▼

Checker runs on cloud infrastructure with offline mobile capture. Tracker runs on-premise on customer-supplied GPU hardware, with no cloud dependency for OCR. Autogate combines on-premise video processing for resilience with secure transmission to DepotMaster.
