ARL Yard mini-Inventory Platform is an internet application, hosted by ARL Consulting and their partners, being accessible from a computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher connected to Internet. The application is secured, all data transfers are encrypted, and all users are passing authentication procedures. The platform is a closed system operating as the in-house inventory system for individual container yards containing with a public facility allowing the container yard to offer third-parties to query specific container status without logging in. This may be promoted by the individual container yard to their customers and haulage/ trucking service providers.
