Everything your depot needs.
One platform. Zero gaps.

depoXpert 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 in a live 2D grid. 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. Resolve charges through a 9-level priority engine — by customer, shipping line, and ISO type.

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.

Email Notifications

Send branded Jinja2-templated gate notifications to shipping line contacts automatically on every gate pass finalisation.

Admin & Settings

Configure charge codes, tariff profiles, meta fields, SMTP, bank details, user roles, and email templates — all without code changes.

Gate Operations

Every container arrival
and departure — captured perfectly.

Gate operators create a gate pass in seconds. depoXpert validates the container number 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.

depoXpert renders your entire yard as a colour-coded grid. Green slots are empty. Blue are occupied. Red are blocked. Click any occupied cell to see the container and move it.

The system enforces ISO stacking rules automatically:

  • 40 ft containers occupy two adjacent row slots
  • No 40 ft container may sit above a 20 ft unit
  • Reefer containers routed to plug-point zones only
  • DG containers isolated in designated DG zones
  • Condemned (grade X) containers restricted to ground tier
  • Max stack height enforced per zone configuration
Tariff & Billing Engine

Slab-rate storage billing
that handles every edge case.

Storage tariffs are complex. depoXpert resolves charges through a 9-level priority engine — customer-specific rates first, then profile rates, then defaults — across shipping line, ISO size type, and effective date dimensions.

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 ✓
  • Customer-specific rate overrides per shipping line
  • Free-day grants per customer and container type
  • Contiguity enforced — no rate gaps allowed
  • Dry-run simulation before billing runs
  • Never silently bills $0 — raises TariffNotFoundError

Days 1–3Free$0.00
Days 4–52 × $10.00$20.00

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.

Email Notifications

Jinja2-powered email templates with live preview, per-shipping-line recipients, and full delivery log with retry.

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 depoXpert, 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."
