Container Inspection Audit, Compliance & Evidence-Chain Software
Built for the operations leaders, quality managers, and compliance officers who carry the audit posture of multi-site container operations — and who need one governance layer behind every audit cycle, not one improvisation per audit. Replace ad-hoc photo libraries and shared folders with structured inspection records that survive CSC periodic inspections, ACC cleaning audits, lessor and shipping-line audits of repair history, and internal GDPR data-handling reviews under one retrieval mechanism.
Why most inspection records collapse the moment an audit lands
Container inspection records become audit evidence only when four governance properties hold: tamper-evident capture, validated container indexing, controlled retention, and a logged access chain. Photos in a shared drive, a chat thread, or a depot manager's phone meet none of those tests — and an auditor, lessor, shipping-line counterparty, or DPO disputes the inspection by default when the record cannot be reconstructed quickly under those four headings. The exposure does not sit with the field worker; it sits with the leadership team that signs off the audit posture.
In many operations, inspection records are still
The result when an audit arrives
A Tamper-Evident Inspection Workflow — From Capture to Audit Production
ConPDS Checker structures container inspection documentation around the four disciplines an auditor actually checks: tamper-evident capture, validated container linkage, controlled retention, and on-demand production.
Tamper-Evident Photo and Metadata Capture
Field staff capture inspection photos on standard smartphones; the app preserves GPS, timestamp, and device identity at the moment of capture and locks the metadata against post-hoc modification. Inspections cannot be back-dated and photos cannot be silently substituted later.
ISO 6346 Validation Linked to the Inspection Record
The app reads and validates the container number using AI-powered OCR with ISO 6346 standards (owner code, serial number, check digit) and links every photo to the active inspection record at capture — eliminating misattribution between containers, inspection types, or counterparties.
Configurable Retention and Role-Based Access
Retention windows are configurable per tenant and per inspection type — CSC inspections on the periodic cycle, lease returns on the contractual claim window, wash records on the customer audit horizon. Role-based access control scopes who can view, export, or distribute each record, and every access event is logged.
One-Click Audit Production
Container number, work-order reference, date range, depot, or inspection type returns the matching record in seconds. Full structured exports — photos plus metadata under a single ISO 6346-validated reference — are a one-click action when an auditor, lessor, or counterparty asks.
What Audit-Defensible Documentation Actually Requires
Six properties separate audit-grade inspection documentation from a folder of phone photos. ConPDS Checker bakes all six into the record at capture — not after the auditor arrives.
Ad-hoc inspection records vs the audit-grade evidence chain
An auditor's first question is "show me the inspection record for this container on this date — and the access log for who has seen it." The operator with the evidence-chain layer produces it in seconds and passes the audit. The operator without it reconstructs from chat threads and shared folders, fails the request, and inherits a finding. The difference is built into the workflow at capture, not negotiated afterward.
