A depot management system is software that runs a tank container depot's core operations — gate processing, cleaning, maintenance and repair, and heating — in one connected platform instead of separate tools per department.
One solution for all your tank container services
DEPOT Software is a modular depot management system built for the ISO tank container industry. One platform runs gate operations, cleaning, maintenance and repair, and heating for tank container depots, so your team stops switching between spreadsheets and single-purpose tools to track where a container is and what it needs next.
Instead of separate systems per department, DEPOT Software centralizes every yard service in a single platform. Every module shares the same container, customer, and compliance data, so information entered once at the gate is already there when cleaning, repair, or heating needs it.
