About ConPDS

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.

photo_camera

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.

videocam

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.

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:

Open data, your infrastructure. MQTT JSON, REST APIs, on-premise OCR. We do not lock customers into proprietary formats or paid integration tiers — every container number, every photo, every gate event is yours to integrate where you need it.
Real production, not pilots. Every product in our portfolio runs in live depot operations every day, not in customer pilot environments waiting to be promoted.
Direct support, not a ticket queue. Customers reach the engineers who built the product, not a tier-1 outsourced support layer. The trade-off is we stay small and selective about who we onboard.
Long-term roadmap, not quarterly pivots. The Checker mobile workflow has been in continuous use since 2013. We add capabilities; we do not deprecate them on 90 days' notice.
Independent and profitable. No outside investors, no acquisition pressure, no obligation to pivot away from container infrastructure into something with a higher multiple. We exist to keep building this product for as long as the industry needs it.
