Identity beyond a painted number
Keep container type, owned-or-leased basis, home yard, and acquisition details together with QR, barcode, legacy tag, or short manual PIN identifiers.
Container custody
Know the can.
Know the history.
Follow each container from yard to truck, customer site, facility, and return through one connected record of identity, custody, condition, and work.
Container inventory and custody are included in the complete base product.

The asset record
The current answer and the history behind it.
A container is more than an inventory row. Its identity, state, custody, condition, commitments, and evidence need to agree before the next job can rely on it.
Current state from accepted history
See whether a container is acquired, active, damaged, in repair, lost, out of service, or retired without replacing the events that produced that state.
Custody attached to the move
Connect each accepted handoff to the yard, truck, customer jobsite, facility, or return, along with the responsible actor, job, time, and available evidence.
Availability shared with dispatch
Use the same custody and scheduling truth to warn about double booking, truck compatibility, and containers that are unavailable or out of service.
Corrections that leave a trail
Correct a bad scan or office record with a reasoned superseding event while preserving what was originally captured and who changed the interpretation.
A defensible starting point
Import existing inventory and active rentals with explicit origin and cutover context instead of pretending LogiTraq observed work that happened in the prior system.
One continuous chain
Every move advances the same operating truth.
The container does not disappear into a status field between stops. Each accepted event carries the record forward while the prior path remains visible.
- YardReady and identifiable
Home location, type, condition, availability, and active identifiers establish the starting point.
- TruckMatched to the work
Assignment and scan confirmation connect the expected container to the truck, driver, and job.
- JobsitePlacement changes custody
The accepted delivery records where the container was placed and keeps the required field evidence with it.
- OnwardPickup continues the history
Facility, return, relocation, swap, or another handoff becomes the next event rather than replacing the earlier record.
Exceptions with an owner
When custody is uncertain, the system says so.
A bad scan, damaged asset, missing container, inventory variance, or truck breakdown should create a visible recovery path instead of quietly changing the answer.
Wrong or missing scan
A mismatched, duplicated, or forgotten tag follows an explicit exception path with a manual PIN fallback.
Unavailable container
Damaged, in-repair, or out-of-service assets stay visible but cannot be silently promised or dispatched as available.
Lost or unreturned
Record the last defensible custody point, stop open-ended rental accrual, and open the linked claim or replacement workflow.
Breakdown with a load
Transfer the container and load commitment between trucks as one evidenced handoff while retaining both carrying segments.
Inventory variance
Compare an expected yard snapshot with scanned, found, and missing containers, then resolve the count through controlled correction.
Office-attested correction
When the field record needs repair, retain the source, reason, evidence, attestor, and original accepted event.
Count and use
Know what is available before the next promise.
Inventory counts compare the expected snapshot with observed scans and controlled corrections. Utilization, days on rent, state, and location history help the office see which containers are working and which need attention.
Inventory confidence
Count the yard without losing the operating context.
Expected inventory, observed scans, found and missing variances, current custody, and controlled corrections stay connected to the same container record.
Bring the inventory list
Start with the container nobody can place.
Walk us through the last known move, the call or text that changed it, and what the office had to reconcile afterward. LogiTraq keeps that custody trail connected.
