Ledger by Clearline.

Know what's on site, who has it, and what it's costing you to sit there.

Material, rental equipment, tools, and contractor assets arrive and disappear into a laydown yard. Rentals keep billing after the job is done. Trailers sit and accrue detention. Nobody finds out until the invoice. Ledger puts a clock and a name on every item on your property.

The problem
The money is not lost in the warehouse. It is lost in the gap between when something arrived, when somebody needed it, and when anybody thought to check whether it was still being billed.
01

Detention and demurrage arrive as a surprise

Free time expires on a trailer or container while it sits behind three others. The first anyone hears about it is a line item with no one willing to own it.

02

Rentals bill past the job

The crew finished in March. The rental came off hire in June, because nobody sent the off-hire notice and nobody was watching the open-rental list.

03

Tools and equipment walk

High-value tools are checked out on a clipboard, if at all. Shrinkage gets written off quarterly as a cost of doing business rather than a tracked loss.

What it does

Custody, dwell, and cost — on the same record.

Ledger is deliberately narrow: it does not try to be your ERP. It tracks physical things on your property, who is responsible for each one right now, how long it has been sitting, and what that is costing you today.

01

Gate-in and gate-out

Scan, plate capture, or manual entry on arrival and departure, with timestamped custody and a photo of condition at each boundary.

02

Dwell and demurrage clock

Per-unit timers against contracted free time, with alerts before charges begin and a running dollar figure of current exposure on one dashboard.

03

Laydown yard and bin mapping

Where the thing physically is, when it was last seen, and who moved it — so the crew stops spending the first hour of the shift looking for it.

04

Tool and equipment checkout

Assignment to a person or crew with return dates, overdue escalation, and a loss record that has a name attached instead of a write-off.

05

Rental reconciliation

Open on-hire items matched against vendor invoices, with overbilling and past-job rentals flagged before the invoice gets approved.

06

Chain of custody

Signed transfers for regulated, high-value, or client-owned material, end to end, exportable as a single document.

Who it's for

Built for operations where being wrong is expensive.

Clearline Ledger is sold by the site, not by the industry. These are the operations where it lands first — and the roles that own the problem it solves.

Built to hold up

Designed around what an auditor will ask for.

Compliance is not a module bolted onto Clearline Ledger. The record structure, the signatures, and the retention exist because someone will eventually ask you to produce them.

  • Chain-of-custody documentation — Signed, timestamped transfers for client-owned, regulated, or high-value material.
  • Hazardous material handling records — Location, custody, and movement history for material subject to storage and segregation requirements.
  • Contract and claims evidence — Condition photos and timestamps at every boundary — the evidence that settles a damage or detention dispute.
  • Asset and depreciation records — Clean equipment location and utilization data for fixed-asset and insurance reporting.
  • Audit-ready inventory — A defensible physical count with a change history, rather than a spreadsheet updated from memory.
What it returns

Where the license pays for itself.

These are the three places customers find the money. None of them require a change in headcount, and all three are numbers your finance team can already see.

Detention and demurrage avoided

This is a line item your controller can already see. The first month of alerts usually pays for the year.

Rental overbilling recovered

Off-hire discipline and invoice matching find money that is currently leaving quietly every month.

Tool shrinkage

Accountability with a name attached reduces loss faster than any policy memo ever has.

Licensing

How to get it before anyone else can.

Clearline Ledger is not generally available. The way in today is a design partnership: a fixed fee, a product built around your operation, and the first year of license included. The list prices beside it are published so you can budget — not because you can buy them yet.

What a design partnership actually is. You are not buying finished software. You are paying to have it built around your operation, ahead of everyone else, with your name on the decisions. In exchange you get the first year free, a rate locked for three years, and the right to walk with your data if it does not work.

Implementation. Included in the design-partner fee. At list, it would be $8,500–$24,000 one-time depending on areas, forms, and records migrated.

More than one product. Design partners on a second Clearline product pay half the second fee, because the platform underneath is already built for your site. See where each product stands →

Prices are USD, 2026. List figures are planned, not promised, and will be confirmed before general availability.
