Scope Boundaries

In Scope

• Container registry and identity management
• Container movement history and event tracking
• Manifest context and voyage views
• Spreadsheet ingestion and normalisation
• Reference data deduplication and clean-up
• Indicative demurrage exposure estimation

Out of Scope

• Coastal Manifesting - we have an abbreviated shipping manifest system, in draft form, that was prepared prior to the study. It approaches transactions from a BoL rather than Container movement direction.
• Billing and invoicing — formal billing processes remain separate
• Accounting integration — no direct integration with accounting systems
• Analytics and dashboards — reporting is basic; no business intelligence layer. Internally, we have a plan for this.
• ERP replacement — this system complements, not replaces, existing ERP systems
• Mining System Modules - we are porting our equipment/ mining systems to the new format; elements may be relevent for general operations. They include:
  • work shop systems
  • scheduled maintenance
  • condition monitoring
  • equipment history
  • fuel and oil monitoring
  • trademen skills, qualification and appointment registers
  • training course scheduling and attendance
  • safety incident recording and followup

Rationale

This system focuses on operational container management and formalising existing spreadsheet-based practices.

Financial, analytical, and enterprise-wide functions remain with existing systems. Internally we drafted possible solutions.
