ARL simplifies inventory management

Rotterdam-based ARL Consulting has releasedan online IT platform for equipment inventory management.

The ARL Yard mini-Inventory Platform can be used with medium-sized yard, depots, repair and storage facilities and terminal operators.

As an internet application, the platform can be accessed from a computer with Internet Explorer 6 or higher connected to Internet. It works on a closed system operating as an in-house inventory system for individual container yards, with a public facility available to third parties to allow them to query specific container status without logging in.

The manufacturers claim that the product offers a quick start with no up-front software or hardware investments, and only a “moderate” transaction fee per move handled.
