Who TRAIL is for

• Container traders buying and selling new and used containers.
• Leasing companies renting containers to shippers, NVOCCs and project cargo customers.
• Logistics and depot businesses that also trade or lease their own units.
• Any container business still managing its fleet in spreadsheets.

Questions to ask before choosing container leasing software

• Does it track each container individually, with its full history?
• Can you see at a glance which units are sold, on lease, returned or available?
• Does it support the way you bill your customers?
• Will it give management the reports they actually use?
• Can it be customised to your processes rather than forcing you to change them?
• Can it connect to your depot and accounting systems?
