First Gate In

After onboarding, the next operational milestone is your first Gate In with data that matches your clients and equipment.

What you need first

1. Operational depot — At least one active client and tariff (see Configure your depot).
2. Container data per ISO 6346 (four letters + seven digits) and correct size/type.
3. Yard map (optional) — If locations exist, you can assign a slot at Gate In; if not, Gate In still works without a yard destination.

Recommended steps

1. Open /dashboard/depot/gate and choose Gate In.
2. Select client and container number.
3. Enter size, type, and shipping line if applicable.
4. If a yard map exists, assign location (or use stacking suggestions).
5. Optional: photos and truck data (plate, carrier).
6. Confirm Gate In. The unit is in yard and ready for inspection if your process requires it.

Tips

• For many units at once, use batch Gate In.
• Align appointments with gate windows if you use time slots.
