Container Delivery System

Know the container as it moves from instruction to proof.

Sonalit turns container delivery into a continuous operational record: booking, container identity, transporter, trip, lock state, yard and port activity, documents, exceptions, analytics and delivery proof remain connected from first instruction to final handover.

The container record is the spine of the movement

CDS keeps the entities that matter in the same graph: the booking points to the container, the container to its trip, the trip to the vehicle and driver, and every material event returns to that chain.

  • Container inventory, status and location
  • Booking lifecycle and container allocation
  • Transporter, haulier and driver records
  • Trip lifecycle through delivery, lock removal and closure

Port & Yard Ops

The workflow follows the physical handoff

Yard and port teams use dedicated, device-paired field applications so clamp, unclamp, departure and handover events are recorded at the point of work rather than reconstructed afterwards.

  • Dedicated yard and port field applications
  • Device pairing and per-worker sign-in
  • Container movements confirmed at the point of work
  • Custody handovers with an ordered event trail
E-lock & traceability

Electronic locks, custody and exception intelligence

Electronic-lock state is part of the operational chronology: lock, unlock, tamper and related location evidence are tied to the container and trip, while CDS intelligence surfaces stalled, overdue and high-risk journeys and booking gaps.

E-lock lifecycle

Clamp and unclamp performed as part of the trip they belong to, so lock state is part of the container's operational record.

Proof of delivery

Delivery confirmation, recipient details, signatures, photos, location and POD records can remain attached to the completed movement.

Custody chain

Custody events form an ordered, tamper-evident chain so transfer history can be reconstructed and verified afterwards.

Container movements use the same tracked vehicles described under fleet management, and high-value moves are frequently run as escorted convoys.

Carry the container record all the way to closure

Bookings, trips, e-locks, field operations, alerts, documents, intelligence, analytics, billing and proof of delivery in one Container Delivery System.
