Start AssistDesk trial

Stock & purchasing

Stock control

Track stock across every warehouse, from deliveries and internal requests to stock counts and valuations, with a complete history of every movement.

Purchasing

See what needs re-ordering and what you last paid, compare supplier prices over time and review how much you spend with each supplier.

Vehicles & workshop

Workshop & vehicle maintenance

Job cards, reported faults and service reminders, with a full parts and repair history for every vehicle.

Fuel

Record fuel from supplier invoices and see what each vehicle uses and costs to run, month by month.

Vehicle renewals

Stay on top of fitness certificates, insurance and licences for every vehicle: what’s due, what it will cost and what has lapsed.

Tyres, safety equipment & cylinders

The cost and lifespan of every tyre, the safety equipment issued to each person, and who is holding which returnable gas cylinder.

IT & people

IT equipment

A register of every laptop, phone and device: who has it, where it is, its warranty and when it was last checked. Works alongside Snipe-IT and Atera.

IT help desk

Staff raise requests by email or through a simple online form, and your team tracks each one against agreed response times, with a library of common fixes.

HR & people

Employee records, your organisation chart and holiday requests, in a workspace that lets you keep several screens open side by side.

What IsoTrack does

Everything a container yard needs, from the gate to the invoice, with a live view of the whole yard.

Start IsoTrack trial

Gate check-in and check-out

Record every container arriving and leaving, with its condition, photos and booking. Anything that doesn’t match is flagged for your team to review.

Live 3D yard

See your whole yard in 3D, with every container shown where it sits and updated as it moves, so you always know what’s where.

Moves & bookings

Plan and record container moves, manage bookings and see the full history of every container, including how long it has been on site.

Truck & driver tracking

Follow your trucks and equipment on a live map, with drivers’ working time feeding straight into billing.

Storage billing

Charge customers automatically for every day a container stays past its free period, and export statements whenever you need them.

Customer portal & reports

Your customers can sign in to see their own containers, statements and reports, and nothing else.

What Cardinal Container Tracker does

Automatic container recognition for gates and yards: every container in and out is read, checked and photographed.

Start Cardinal Container Tracker trial

Camera recognition

Connect your gate cameras and every passing container number is read automatically, whether it’s written across or down the container.

Checked numbers

Every number is checked against the international container-numbering standard and the official register of container owners, so mistakes are flagged rather than slipping through.

Photo evidence

Every read keeps the picture it came from, with the camera and direction of travel, so you can settle any question about when a container arrived or left.

Scan from any phone

Gate staff can scan containers using the web browser on any phone. There’s no app to install.

Secure camera connection

A small program at your site links your cameras to your workspace securely. Your cameras are never exposed to the internet and no network changes are needed.

Reports & 3D yard

Daily activity, time-on-site and gate reports to download as PDF or spreadsheet, plus a live 3D view of where each container sits.
