CFS, ICD, and Warehouse Operations

CFS (Container Freight Station), ICD (Inland Container Depot), and warehouse operations are interconnected components of logistics, each playing a specific role in handling goods within the supply chain.

Container stations and warehouses form the logistics backbone—but they’re often managed with siloed tools.

DCC NG provides one platform to manage in/out operations, storage, and customs-linked workflows across CFS, ICD, and warehouses.

Capabilities:
- Gate-in/gate-out logging with driver and vehicle tracking
- Container movement and yard mapping for ICD/CFS
- Put-away, picking, and dispatch planning for WMS
- Charge-based billing, customs sync, and e-manifests
- Receipt and dispatch/delivery of cargo.
- Transit operations by rail/road to and from serving ports.
- Customs clearance.
