To locate every building container with to-the-second, centimeter-level accuracy, ELA Container<\/a> relies on IdentPro\u2019s Warehouse Execution System (WES)<\/a>. The goal was to eliminate manual administration and search times, automate postings, and create a continuously transparent inventory overview. The result: a search-free material flow from the yard to truck loading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ELA Container is a family-owned specialist for mobile space and building solutions for rent or purchase. The company serves a broad range of industries: from construction, office, and education (e.g., schools and daycare) to retail, events, and custom solutions. Headquartered in Haren (Ems), Lower Saxony, ELA delivers projects across Germany and internationally. The rental fleet comprises around 60,000 containers, with a presence spanning 18 locations worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n

Initial Situation<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the start of the project, ELA Container managed its large rental fleet largely manually and without end-to-end system support. This led to high search and administrative effort because inventories and locations could not be verified in real time. The variety of solution types and frequent relocations across the expansive outdoor yard further slowed processes; truck loading incurred waiting times. <\/p>\n\n\n
