Solport
SP Depot
Container terminals / depots
The entire operational and financial flow of the depot, from gate-in to invoice, in a single system. SP Depot is the Solport module specialized in intermodal terminals and container depots.
The full cycle
From gate-in to gate-out, no paper, no spreadsheets
Every movement in the yard feeds the next step. Storage time is calculated on its own, EIR reports are assembled with the operator’s photos, and the invoice reflects exactly what happened.
- 01
Gate-in with OCR
Plate, container number and seal read on entry. Automatic barrier if it all matches.
- 02
Positioning
Block, row and tier assignment. The operator gets the instruction on their phone.
- 03
Storage
The shipping line’s free time applied to the second. Alerts as soon as the tariff starts running.
- 04
M&R (if applicable)
Inspection, IICL estimate, online approval from the shipping line and workshop repair.
- 05
Gate-out and invoice
Validated exit, EIR assembled automatically and invoice to the shipping line for what was actually consumed.
Real-time visibility
Every container in the yard, with its clock running
Know how much stock there is per shipping line, how many haven’t moved and which ones have already started accruing storage tariff — without rebuilding it in a spreadsheet on the last day of the month.
- Stock by shipping line, type, size and condition — updated on the fly with every movement.
- Storage counter to the second, with free time applied according to the contract with the shipping line.
- Automatic alerts when a container starts accruing tariff or exceeds agreed limits.
- Yard map with real position: block, row, tier — no walking around to find it.

Usability
A different tool for every role in the depot
The yard operator doesn’t need the same thing as the gate operator, or the person invoicing the shipping line. SP Depot gives each one exactly what they need, on the screen that’s theirs.
