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.
