Container stock

    Every container, where it really is, and what it is committed to

    The inventory is not a list someone keeps up to date. Each pickup, drop-off, release and sale moves the container in Krak Stack, so the stock you see is the stock you have.

    Filter, open the record, and the whole story of the unit is there.

    In practice

    Example

    A trader receives a request for ten 40 ft high cube containers, cargo worthy, in Rotterdam. In the container list, the Available tab keeps only the containers that are at a depot and booked on no deal. Filtering on type, condition and port gives the boxes that can be offered today, with their depot and their purchase, sale and market totals for the selection. Copy details puts the list (reference, type, condition, status, depot) in the clipboard, ready to paste into the reply.

    In detail

    • Statuses that move by themselves. A container is In depot when created or imported, Booked when it is reserved on a deal, Released when a release is issued, In transit after its pickup, Dropping off when a return is issued, and back In depot at drop-off, or Sold or Completed when it leaves the fleet. Cancelling a pickup or a drop-off puts it back in its previous state.
    • Search that understands containers. One search looks at the reference, ISO code, status, depot, type, condition, colour, supplier, buyer, deal reference, port and country. A word that looks like a container number only searches references.
    • Filters by geography. Region, country and port filters narrow each other, and the port filter also finds containers heading to that port.
    • Inactive containers. The Inactive since filter (1 to 12 months) and the inactive indicator show the boxes that no longer move, and the record turns Last activity red after 30 days without an event.
    • A full history. Each container record gathers its deals, releases, returns, claims, invoices, documents and a timeline of every change, with the date and the person who made it.
    • Numbers checked. Container numbers are checked against the ISO 6346 check digit when you create, import or pick up a container.
