ONESTOP has this week announced its partnership with Empty Container Solutions (ECS) in Sydney to implement OneStop's Modal and Vehicle Booking System, with the new system going live on Thursday, 1 October 2026.
The move aims to strengthen system integration across ECS’ operations and its broader network of customers and transport partners.
For ECS, the partnership is about strengthening an important part of their container operations.
OneStop Modal and VBS aim to support the coordination and management of day-to-day activities, giving teams greater visibility and a smoother flow of information across sites.
The systems seeks to help streamline processes, reduce manual administration, and improve operational efficiency, while providing more accurate and timely information to support planning and decision-making.
This is already playing out on the ground at Sydney, where teams are better able to coordinate container movements and respond to operational requirements, creating greater consistency across sites and workflows.
As ECS's operations continue to grow, the business expects these capabilities to further enhance coordination, efficiency, and visibility across its network.
Sea freight operations manager at MKD Transport, Peter Kumcevski, said the partnership “gives our team better visibility and more consistent processes across our sites, which means we can keep delivering the safe, reliable, and responsive service our customers expect from ECS”.
OneStop chief commercial officer Chris Harnett said the move was emblematic of where the sector was headed.
“Empty Container Solutions' move to OneStop reflects where the industry is heading, towards a single, connected platform rather than disconnected, site-by-site systems.
“We're pleased to have them as part of the OneStop network,” he said.
With this move, ECS joins a growing number of container park and transport operators consolidating onto OneStop's platform, as the industry continues to move away from fragmented, standalone systems.
