5-Stage Workflow

Every movement — inbound or outbound — flows through a clear, reversible 5-stage pipeline.

  • Stage 1: Received — Booking created, auto or manual
  • Stage 2: Entered — Details confirmed, product lines logged
  • Stage 3: Arrived — Lorry physically on site, timestamped
  • Stage 4: Stock In / Out — Inventory updated in real time
  • Stage 5: Completed — Notes added, movement finalised

Every stage has an undo button — correct mistakes instantly without losing data.

Inbound

Container Management

End-to-end management of inbound shipping containers from advance booking to stock-in.

  • Book containers in advance with container number, delivery date, customer, and product lines
  • Attach a PDF packing list to each container
  • Auto-scan PDF packing lists to pre-populate product lines automatically
  • Confirm and edit product lines, batch numbers, and stock locations at entry stage
  • Full audit trail from booking to stock-in

PDF auto-scanning saves operators hours of manual data entry per container.

Outbound

Collection Management

Book and manage customer collections from order through to gate pass and customer portal.

  • Book customer collections with delivery address, product lines, and quantities
  • Attach a PDF collection note — auto-scanned for delivery address
  • Stock deducted atomically when collection is completed
  • Batch numbers and notes carried through the entire pipeline
  • Customer portal link generated and sent on completion

Atomic stock deduction — no risk of double-counting or errors.

Planning

Multi-Drop Load Planning

Plan lorry loads with multiple delivery stops and automatically calculate the correct loading order.

  • Select multiple outbound collections and book them out together on one lorry
  • Step 1: Enter driver, haulier, and vehicle registration
  • Step 2: Set delivery order (1st drop, 2nd drop, etc.)
  • System auto-calculates load order — last delivery loads first (at the back)
  • Visual SVG lorry diagram shows exactly how the load should be built
  • Load order numbers printed on every picking list

The lorry diagram eliminates loading errors and speeds up warehouse picks.

Documents

Gate Pass System

Three types of gate passes, printed automatically at the right stage — with a full history tab for reprints.

  • Arrival Gate Pass — issued when a container arrives on site, includes driver, haulier, and registration
  • Collection Gate Pass — issued when a customer collection departs, includes multi-drop load plan if applicable
  • Container Gate Pass — issued for empty containers leaving the site
  • Full Gate Passes history tab — reprint any pass at any time

Never lose a gate pass — every pass ever printed is stored and reprintable.

Documents

Outturn Reports & Picking Lists

Professional printed documents that match traditional warehouse paperwork — with digital delivery.

  • Outturn Report — printed A4 document listing all product lines with expected vs actual quantities, condition column, and signature boxes
  • Picking List — per-collection document with product descriptions, bay locations, quantities, batch numbers, and check boxes
  • Lorry loading diagram included on picking lists for multi-drop loads
  • Customer Portal — unique secure link sent by email after stock-in or collection, showing report — no login required

Customers receive their report automatically — no calls, no emails, no manual sending.

Inventory

Real-Time Stock & Locations

Live stock levels across all products and warehouse locations, updated the moment inventory changes.

  • Live stock levels per product per location (e.g. Bay A / Row 1)
  • Inline location editing directly from the Locations tab
  • Low stock visibility at a glance
  • Stock summary cards: total products, units, containers, and low stock alerts

Know exactly what you have, where it is, at all times.

Catalogue

Products Management

Full product catalogue supporting manual creation, bulk import, and easy searching.

  • Full product catalogue with product codes and descriptions
  • Manual product creation
  • Bulk CSV import with duplicate detection
  • Search and sortable columns

Bulk import saves days of setup when migrating from spreadsheets.

Security

Secure Authentication

Email and password sign-in with OTP verification — only authorised users access the system.

  • Email and password sign-in with OTP email verification
  • Secure, role-based access — only signed-in users can access the system
  • User initials shown in header, one-click sign-out

Your warehouse data stays secure — no public access, ever.

Safety

Soft Delete & Restore

Nothing is ever permanently lost — deleted items are archived and fully restorable.

  • Containers and collections can be soft-deleted (removed from view without losing data)
  • Deleted items viewable and restorable from a toggle on the Movements tab
  • Full audit trail preserved on deleted records

Accidental deletions happen. ContainerMaster 4 makes recovery instant.

Notifications

Email Notifications

Automatic customer notifications after key events — no manual follow-up required.

  • Outturn report links sent directly to customers by email after stock-in
  • Collection report links sent directly to customers by email after collection
  • Customers view a clean, printable portal page — no login needed

Your customers are informed automatically — it just happens.
