Track containers across gate-in to gate-out

Status, shipping line, storage fees, and survey history in one place. No more opening multiple files to look up a container.

Auto-match EIR with repair estimate forms

AI reads EIRs, survey reports, and repair slips, cross-checks container condition, then fills yard storage invoices.
