Container documentation, built by people who run depots.
ConPDS ApS is a Danish software company building container documentation infrastructure — mobile inspection, on-premise OCR, automated gate operations — used by depots, reefer service facilities, leasing companies, and shipping lines across Europe and beyond. Field-tested in production since 2013. We are independent, profitable, and not for sale.
Why we built ConPDS
In 2013, container inspection documentation was either paper, WhatsApp, or a generic photo app no-one trusted six months later. The depot carried the cost of every claim it could not prove and paid for every damage it could not prove was pre-existing. The infrastructure to do it properly did not exist.
We built the first version of ConPDS Checker because the alternative — informal photo handling spread across phones and chat threads — was failing on the only test that matters: can you find the right photo, of the right container, six months after the truck left the gate, and use it to defend a real claim?
The product stayed in production with a small set of depots until 2015, when ConPDS ApS was incorporated as a Danish limited company and the customer base expanded across Europe. Since then we have added ConPDS Tracker for on-premise container number OCR and ConPDS Autogate for end-to-end gate automation — the same evidence philosophy applied to two more workflows.
What we build
Three integrated products, deployed together or independently, all designed around the same principle: every photo, every gate event, every OCR read is linked to a validated container number — and stored in infrastructure you control.
ConPDS Checker
Mobile inspection and repair photo documentation, linked to validated container numbers via ISO 6346 OCR. Works offline; integrates with EOS, DepotMaster, AEMS, IMARS, and custom APIs.
Explore ConPDS Checker →ConPDS Tracker
On-premise GPU-powered OCR that reads container numbers from any RTSP-compatible IP camera and publishes results in open JSON via MQTT. No proprietary lock-in.
Explore ConPDS Tracker →ConPDS Autogate
Camera-based automated container gate system — driver-led kiosk flow, OCR validation, and DepotMaster REST integration for reservation matching and barrier control.

How we work
A small product company optimised for depots that want infrastructure they own — not a SaaS dashboard they rent.
ConPDS is built around the principle that container documentation is operational infrastructure, not marketing software. That changes the way we make decisions:
Customers across Europe, Africa, Australia & the Middle East
Container depots, reefer service facilities, wash stations, leasing companies, and shipping lines — all using ConPDS in daily production.
