Meeberg ISO Tanks & Containers, a leader in tank container leasing and sales, has selected MRI Software to support with modernising its operations and overall continued business growth through advanced fleet and lease management solutions.
As Meeberg continued with its growth journey, limitations were identified with their existing systems. The Meeberg team found themselves wrestling with manual processes, data silos, and a lack of visibility into fleet leasing and financial operations.
“Our previous system was excellent at day-to-day depot management, but when it came to lease contract handling and looking ahead —it simply wasn’t built for that,” explained Michel van der Sman, Chief Operating Officer at Meeberg.
With significant external investment accelerating Meeberg’s growth, the need for a scalable, intelligent platform became critical.
“Manual work typically tends to be prone to errors. We knew we were likely missing revenue opportunities, and potentially at risk of overcharging. A scenario no business wants to face,” Michel noted.
Meeberg turned to MRI Software to source a comprehensive, solution that would grow with the ambitions of the business and deliver:
- Robust leasing and fleet lifecycle management
- Advanced data and insights via a Power BI integration
- Reduced risk of costly errors and improved billing accuracy
“One of the key reasons we chose MRI was the potential to unlock powerful BI dashboards,” Michel added. “The ability to slice and dice data across the business will be game-changing.”
By replacing manual, error-prone systems with MRI’s automated platform, Meeberg anticipates:
- Faster reporting and data-driven decision-making. Previously it took Meeberg
three days to manually update their systems to facilitate billing for their 13,000
containers each month. This is expected to be reduced to less than 1 hour. - Automated workflows for billing verification.
- Greater data transparency across the leasing portfolio.
- Operational scalability to support continued growth.
Overall, MRI Software will expect to save Meeberg over one month per year in performing administrative tasks as well as ensuring additional headcount isn’t required as they grow, saving more than €100,000pa.
“Meeberg’s story is a perfect example of why we build flexible, intelligent solutions,” said Richard Shaw, Managing Director for Intermodal at MRI Software. “As businesses grow, they need technology that keeps up with market developments, not just with
operations. We’re proud to support Meeberg as their business scales.”
