Intermodal Logistics

Keep Every Container Moving, Billed, and Accounted For.

Talk to an Expert

Intermodal businesses manage containers and chassis that move constantly between customers, ports, rail ramps, depots, and repair facilities. Every movement can change a unit’s status, its availability, and what should be billed. When fleet, depot, and billing information sits in separate systems, spreadsheets, and emails, it becomes difficult to know where equipment is, bill every day of use, recover repair costs, and understand the profitability of each unit.

How Commeris Helps

Commeris helps intermodal businesses connect fleet, contract, depot, repair, and financial processes through Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. With Container Leasing Management, every container has one reliable record linked to its contract, its depot movements, its repairs, and its fixed asset.

Common Intermodal Challenges:

  • Knowing where every container is and what condition it is in.
  • Preventing double allocation of the same unit.
  • Missed or inaccurate per diem billing.
  • Identifying overdue returns early.
  • Recovering repair, storage, and repositioning costs.
  • Managing drop-off limits and pick-up and drop-off charges.
  • Keeping depot, customer, and finance information consistent.
  • Processing EDI messages from depots and terminals.
