The problem

Bookings confirm demand - too late to act on it.

By the time bookings firm up, the shortage is already here and the surplus is already costing storage. Planning on last week’s numbers means repositioning in a panic and leasing at spot rates to cover the gap.

The imbalance was forecastable weeks earlier – but without a forward view, every response is reactive and expensive.

How it works

See the imbalance before it happens.

Forecast

Demand per container type and location

AssetMetrics predicts container demand per container type and location, up to 16 weeks in advance, using your booking and equipment history plus seasonal and trade-lane patterns.

Projection

Surplus and deficit, 16 weeks out

For every container type and location it projects surplus and deficit up to 16 weeks out, so you know where boxes will be short and where they will pile up – while there is still time to move them cheaply.

Confidence

Ranges you can plan on

Every forecast carries a confidence range by port and type, so you plan on a range you can trust – and it flows straight into Container Network Optimization. Feeds repositioning automatically.

Value delivered

Act while moves are cheap.

16 weeks ahead

Know where equipment will be short up to 16 weeks ahead, while moves are still cheap and options are open.

Fewer spot leases

Position owned equipment against forecast demand instead of covering gaps with costly spot leases.
