Container Network Optimization · AssetMetrics

Move every empty at the lowest cost.

AssetMetrics turns your forecast into a concrete repositioning plan – which empties to move, from where to where, and by when – ranked by cost and impact, so every container heads toward its next paying booking.

The problem

Empty repositioning is the cost nobody planned.

Moving empty containers is one of the largest controllable costs in a fleet, and it is usually done reactively – a long, expensive haul to cover a shortage that a cheaper move days earlier would have solved.

Multiply that across a global network and the waste is enormous – and invisible until the repositioning bill lands.

How it works

Turn the forecast into least-cost moves.

Least cost

Least-cost moves across the network

AssetMetrics computes the cheapest set of repositioning moves that clears forecast imbalances – matching surplus to deficit across the network before the shortage ever bites.

Ranked

Highest impact first

Every option is ranked, so your team actions the highest-impact, lowest-cost moves first – and can see exactly what doing nothing would cost instead.

Actionable

Actioned in your existing tools

Each container gets a recommended next move that sits on top of your terminal, depot and booking systems – informed directly by Demand Forecasting.

Value delivered

Cheaper moves, fewer idle days.

Staged early

Stage least-cost moves against forecast demand instead of paying for long reactive hauls.

Fewer idle days

Clear imbalances before they strand equipment – cutting idle container days across the network.

More turns

Keep every box heading toward its next paying booking, so the fleet you own does more work.

More of AssetMetrics

Forecast container demand by port, lane and type – weeks before the bookings confirm it.

Unify equipment, booking and depot data into one view of what every container earns or idles.
