Container Storage Billing Software
Turn gate dates, free days, dwell time, and customer rate rules into invoice-ready storage records.
Direct definition
Container storage billing software turns gate-in dates, free-day rules, dwell time, and customer-specific rate plans into invoice-ready daily or per-diem storage charges, without recalculating charges by hand at month-end.

FAQ
How are free days calculated?
Free days count from the gate-in timestamp based on the free-day allowance set on the customer's rate plan. Daily storage charges apply automatically once free time runs out.
Can different customers have different rates?
Yes. Rate plans attach to each customer account, so free days, daily rates, and any negotiated terms apply automatically to that customer's containers.
Does this replace my accounting software?
No. It turns gate activity into invoice-ready storage charges and payment status. Accounting software like QuickBooks can remain the system of record for bookkeeping.
What proof backs up a storage invoice?
Each billed period ties back to the gate-in and gate-out record, including timestamps and photos, so a disputed charge can be checked against the original ticket.
