The Virtual Interchange Report (VIR) is an interactive estimation platform for the shipping industry that works on Android tablets. The solution was designed to replace traditional paper-based inspection processes used for chassis and container damage estimation, gatekeeping operations, and yard inventory management.
The platform operates across three user roles, like Gatekeeper, Estimator, and Mechanic, enabling in-gate and out-gate inspections, component-level damage marking, and repair estimations. By combining interactive 3D CAD models with inspection processes that use hotspots and cloud syncing, VIR makes yard operations quicker and more precise while greatly lowering mistakes and delays.
The vision was to eliminate paper-based yard inspections and build an intelligent, interactive estimation ecosystem that simplifies complex technical workflows. The goal was not just digitization but operational transformation through 3D interaction, automation, and real-time cloud reporting.
