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

  • 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 compliments, not replaces, existing ERP systems

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.
