The operating challenge

A container yard is a chain of physical and commercial events.

Missing one movement, condition record, approval or charge can create congestion, disputes and lost revenue.

Flatorb connects gate activity, yard location, inspections, repair estimates, approvals, work completion and billing evidence.

The system supports multiple yards and locations under one legal entity without charging by user, transaction or module.

The operational outcomeKnow where every container is, what condition it is in, what work is authorised and what should be charged.

Core capabilities

Control the complete depot operating loop.

Configure the workflow around the operation, the people using it and the information other systems require.

01Capability

Gate & movement

Record in, out, mounting, demounting, transfers and release controls.

02Capability

Yard visibility

Track container location, block, row, status, dwell time and availability.

03Capability

M&R workflow

Manage inspection, damage, estimates, MLO pricing, approval, repair and evidence.

04Capability

Billing control

Calculate storage, handling, free days and approved services automatically.

Connected workflow

One continuous record from gate-in to gate-out.

Each step creates the evidence and responsibility required by the next.

Operating principle

Yard control is strongest when movement and revenue use the same evidence.

“Every container event should improve both operational visibility and commercial accuracy.”

Frequently asked questions

Practical questions before you begin.

We configure the system around the real workflow and confirm the integration, device and implementation approach during discovery.

Can one system manage multiple yards?

Yes. One legal entity can manage multiple yards, depots and operating locations with unlimited users and transactions.

Can each MLO have its own repair price sheet?

Yes. MLO-specific prices can be applied automatically to the same repair codes based on the container owner.

Does the system calculate storage and handling?

Yes. Storage, free days, mounting, demounting and other handling charges can be calculated from operational events and configured rules.

How quickly can a mid-size depot go live?

Most mid-size operations can be configured within two weeks and brought into live operation within about one month, subject to data and process readiness.
