Every container number, captured. Retire your pencil.
Mount a phone in the yard truck and drive your rows. QBoss reads the container numbers it passes, through rain, rust and glare, and builds the inventory as you go. It works just as well at the gate or watching a lane.
Mount your phone before you move. QBoss works hands‑free, so there's nothing to touch while the truck is moving.

Every container number ends in a check digit that proves the other ten characters are right. Pencils don't check it. QBoss does, and it records when and where each box was seen.

Questions yard managers ask
What is QBoss?
Cube + Boss... say it fast... QBoss. QBoss is a powerful platform for managing shipping containers, starting with reading the container numbers your phone can see.
How does it work?
Just let it run. Mount the phone, and the app automatically identifies containers as they pass by... no button mashing required. Link up with QBoss Watchtower, our tool for the office, to see everything happening across your operation in real time.
Do drivers have to hold the phone?
No. Mount it in the cab before you move. QBoss reads container numbers on its own, so nobody needs to touch the phone while the truck is moving. Follow your local hands-free laws.
Do I need to link a device to use the app?
No. The app is 100% free. Sign up for QBoss Watchtower to bring together multiple apps and manage your operations all from one place.
Will it work if I have a weak connection?
Absolutely! No signal in the yard? No problem. The QBoss app works completely offline. When you're back online, the app syncs your reads to Watchtower. We've got your back, even when your cell tower doesn't.
Can I receive notifications for events?
You bet. QBoss Watchtower sends a webhook for every new, updated or deleted read, so your TMS, YMS, ERP or other systems can act on it.
What if I have more questions?
We love hearing from you! Drop us a line at info@qboss.ai. We promise a real human will respond.
