The #1 Solution to Drastically Reduce Demurrage. Make your customers happy. And even run a more efficient fleet.
Keep your railcars, (tank) containers, trailers and other assets rotating, avoid demurrage disputes with customers, and ultimately even reduce the size of your fleet. All through automated visibility and alerts instead of spreadsheets and manual follow-up chaos.
Demurrage management. Finally controlled and automated.
Ovinto turns demurrage on your assets from a reactive penalty into a proactive, data-driven service for your customers. Instead of surprising them with invoices, you help them avoid demurrage, while you improve fleet rotation and reduce your own costs.
Connect
Real-time visibility on every leased asset
Push data to Ovinto by sending your shipment data via CSV or connect your TMS/ERP to visualize the exact standstill time and location of each railcar or container in real time.
- Start simple: forward shipment info via CSV to a dedicated Ovinto inbox. No big IT project required.
- Grow to full integration: later, we link directly with your TMS, ERP or carrier platforms for real-time push data.
- One unified data flow: all standstill and rotation data ends up in one platform. No more chasing across systems or emails.

Orchestrate
Automated demurrage logic per contract, type, customer and region.
Once your data flows into Ovinto, you configure demurrage rules exactly the way your contracts are written – for example “7 free days, then €40/day, then €100/day” – and let the platform do the rest.
- Contract-based calculation: rules per contract, product, customer, region…
- Automatic demurrage calculation: no more manual interpretation; the system applies the correct logic consistently.
- Proactive warnings instead of surprises: configure rules to automatically send warning emails to customers.
- Automated invoice creation: connect Ovinto to your invoicing solution so demurrage invoices can be generated fully automatically when needed.
By doing this, you shift from punishing your customers to helping them avoid penalties, while still fully protecting your own interests.
Deliver
From penalties to a more efficient fleet
With all data connected and orchestrated, Ovinto delivers real-time dashboards and workflows that help you and your customers act before demurrage hits.
- One source of truth: everybody looks at the same real-time view of leased assets, standstill times and exposure.
- Instant clarity on priorities: dashboards highlight which assets are at risk, where standstill times are growing, and which locations need action today.
- Round-trip & rotation optimization: by combining demurrage data with empty return triggers, you can speed up rotation and reduce the fleet size needed for the same workload.
