InspectorCEDEX

InspectorCEDEX is a mobile app for shipping container repair estimates.

It allows container repair estimates to be inputted quickly and easily, even without an internet connection.

Select from short picklists to identify Component, Damage and Repair. No need to look up or remember all the ISO CEDEX Codes.
The app will take you through the inspection coding process step by step, ensuring that the codes are correct, to create an estimate document that is sent to your customers.

Photograph damages to the container as you go, and the photographs are automatically added to the estimate and individual repairs.
No need to spend time on sizing, downloading, storing, and cataloguing photographs.

Available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Other languages can be added on request.

Download the app directly onto your Android device from our download page and try for free.

Simplify container repair estimates by using the InspectorCEDEX mobile app.

Estimates can be inputted quickly and easily by the Inspector as they inspect the container.
The inspection can be carried out where ever the container is, even without an internet connection.
You don’t need to be concerned about mobile phone or wireless connectivity.
Internet connection is only required to either share data with other users or send estimates.

Estimates are fully coded using ISO CEDEX codes.
The app takes the inspector through the inspection process step by step, picking the correct code from short lists, and ensuring that the code is correct.

Damage can be photographed at the same time. Photographs are automatically labelled, sized and added to the estimate.
No additional work managing photographs is required.

Inspectors can price repairs themselves or use pre-loaded tariffs of labour hours and material costs.
Tariffs will automatically price each repair ensuring that prices are always correct and consistent.

Automatically create professional estimates which can be sent without delay from the app to your customers, whether they are a shipping line or leasing company. Both the Lessor and Lessee can be set to receive estimates.
Copies of every estimate are also sent to your company email address to enable them to be organised and filed in your email. Estimates can also be sent as EDI WESTIM messages to your customers.

Photographs can also be sent separately from the Estimate.

Save time and effort, and streamline your estimating processes.

InspectorCEDEX can also send ISO 9897 WESTIM EDI messages and photographs directly to your customers. Every customer has their own EDI requirements and we tailor your ISO 9897 messages to your customer’s requirements. Please contact us with your EDI customer’s details, and we will set up the EDI links and messages to automate the whole EDI process.

If your customer sends return EDI messages such as Acknowledgements or Approvals we can also process these, automating the estimate, approval, repaired cycle.

Why should you use the InspectorCEDEX mobile app?
After all it is just a mobile app.
Well actually there is a whole lot more to it than just a mobile app.

• It saves time

With InspectorCEDEX it is quick and easy to create Estimates. Input is straight forward, with simple selection from short picklists. There are no codes to remember, and the inspector is taken through the process step by step.

Photographs can be taken at the same time and are automatically included with the estimate. There is no additional time spent downloading, saving, sizing, filing, and matching photographs to estimates. It is all done automatically.

Pricing is automatic and accurate. You can use either your customer’s tariff or your own tariff. There is no need to do calculations such as area and perimeter of patches, or for straightening of multiple dents. Just input the length and width of each area of damage and the app will do all the calculations to give you prices for material and labour. Of course if you need to input your own price manually, you can also do that too.

Once you have completed your estimates, press send and the Estimate Document, including photographs, will be sent to both yourself and to your customers, both Leasing Companies and Shipping Lines. There is nothing further to do. No returning to the office to do paperwork, downloading photographs, or sending emails. It has all been done.

InspectorCEDEX can also create and send EDI messages or send photographs separately.
Messaging needs to be set up, but once set up it is done automatically.

• It saves money

You can create tariffs to enable repairs to be accurately and consistently priced.
Set your tariff prices and you can be sure that every estimated price is correct.
If your repair shop notices that your estimated prices don’t give you enough margin, you can adjust the tariff accordingly and ensure that all future prices have the margins you need.

If the price of materials increases, you can increase the material prices on your tariff,
and they will be applied to all future estimates.

• Win new customers and keep existing customers

Customers like to see well organised and professional suppliers. If they see that you can send them clear, accurate and concise estimate documents quickly, and can include photographs, they know they can rely on you. If customers know you can also send estimates using EDI, then they will probably prefer you over suppliers that can’t.
Once customers have set up EDI links with you then you know you are a preferred supplier.

• It makes life easier

It’s on your mobile phone. If your email is also on your mobile phone, then you don’t need
anything else. You don’t need to spend time on admin or IT functions. You just need to do the inspection. InspectorCEDEX runs on Android devices, both mobile phones and tablets.
You can take it anywhere and you can continue to input estimates even if there is no internet connection.

• It is more than just a mobile app

InspectorCEDEX is really a whole Shipping Container Maintenance and Repair Estimating System, that runs on a mobile phone, or a tablet if you prefer tablets. You don’t need PC’s or servers or network systems. It handles Inspection, Estimates, Messaging, Photographs, and Surveyor Authorisation/Approvals.
