As container operations scale across cities, countries, or global regions, terminal operators need more than basic yard control. Managing multiple depots or container terminals demands centralized visibility with localized execution. The Multi-Site & Multi-User Access module enables organizations to operate as a unified system while respecting the independence, security, and workflows of each location.
This architecture is designed for operators overseeing regional terminals, inland container depots, or multi-country logistics networks, offering flexibility and control through one platform.
Centralized Control Across Multiple Terminals
When multiple depots run on separate systems, coordination becomes slow and data remains siloed. Multi-site functionality addresses this by:
-
Connecting all sites under a single environment
-
Enabling group-wide reporting and inventory consolidation
-
Providing shared user infrastructure while isolating local data
This allows each yard to operate independently while aligning with group standards.
Site-Level Segmentation and Access
Independent Site Configuration
Each depot or terminal can have:
-
Unique yard layout, storage logic, and tariffs
-
Localized documents (invoices, EIRs, gate passes)
-
Dedicated workflows for gate, inspection, or repair
Operations at one site do not interfere with another, preserving data integrity.
Data Isolation and Global Reporting
-
Users only see and manage containers at their assigned locations
-
Central administrators can access consolidated dashboards
-
Export reports by site, by region, or as a group-wide overview
This balances security, operational autonomy, and strategic oversight.
Multi-User Role Management
Role-Based Permissions
You can define custom user roles such as:
-
Administrator – full system access
-
Depot Manager – operational control per location
-
Gate Clerk – view and edit gate events only
-
Repair Technician – limited to inspection modules
Permissions include actions like viewing, editing, approving, and exporting, allowing granular control over the system.
User Groups and Hierarchies
For large operations:
-
Users can be grouped by department or function
-
Supervisors may oversee several users across terminals
-
Hierarchical workflows (e.g. request → approval → execution) can be configured
This structure mirrors real-world responsibilities inside container depots.
Use Cases by Organization Type
The system is ideal for:
-
Port authorities managing multiple terminals in one country
-
Logistics providers with inland and coastal container facilities
-
3PLs and NVOCCs operating across borders
-
Customs zones that require isolated container processing by depot
Any operator with more than one yard can benefit from multi-site capabilities.
Security and Compliance Features
-
Encrypted login and role-based session control
-
IP-based access restrictions for sensitive roles
-
Full audit trail of user actions, per site and per module
-
Role versioning and traceable permission changes
These tools are essential for meeting internal security policies and regulatory demands.
Integration and Scalability
The system is built to grow with your business:
-
API support for centralized ERP or financial software
-
Add new depots without infrastructure changes
-
Support for language, time zone, and currency per terminal
From 2 depots to 50 terminals — the architecture remains consistent and responsive.
Benefits of Multi-Site Architecture
-
Unified platform for global and regional container operations
-
Faster decision-making through real-time cross-depot reporting
-
Easier staff onboarding with standardized user roles
-
Lower IT overhead through a centralized management system
-
Better control over terminal performance at every level
A smart multi-site & multi-user access system enables container yard operators to scale confidently, manage securely, and collaborate efficiently — no matter how large or distributed their terminal network becomes.
