Container Inland Control Tower
Stop Processing Containers. Start Managing Profit.
An ETA at the port is an input, not a plan. Streamliner’s Container Inland Control Tower transforms your inbound flow from a first-in, first-out queue into a strategic operation driven by financial risk and commercial priority.
The Business Case
Global Detention And Demurrage Costs Represent a Multi-Billion-Euro Blind Spot
For large-scale importers, annual D&D fees regularly exceed €500,000 — not because containers are late, but because no one has a system to prioritize them intelligently. Streamliner eliminates this waste.

Features
Intelligent Arbitration
Pull the right container. Every time
Most logistics teams lose money because they process containers by arrival date. Streamliner automatically balances two factors: the financial risk of each container approaching its end-of-free-time deadline, and the commercial urgency of the goods inside (backordered stock, promotional priorities). Your team ranks in real-time, doesn’t work of a dated spreadsheet of equalpriority containers
Multimodal Inland Routing
Choose the route that fits the priority, not the default.
For each container, Streamliner maps available inland routes — barge, rail, or truck — against lead times and commercial urgency. You select the optimal mode based on real business criteria, with specific inland terminal and rail connections mapped directly to your warehouse zones.
Predictive Flow Alignment
See congestion before it happens
Streamliner ingests real-time ETA data from your tracking platform and synchronizes it with your warehouse’s actual absorption capacity — weeks in advance. Bottlenecks are predicted and resolved before the container hits the port. Your docks, labor, and equipment are ready exactly when they’re needed.
Automated Empty Returns
Stop paying detention fees on empty boxes.
Detention charges do not stop when a container is emptied. Streamliner closes the execution loop: the moment a warehouse team marks a container as emptied, the carrier responsible for pick-up sees it. For operations managing container swaps, the system identifies the specific unit with the lowest remaining free time — not just any available empty.
