Intermodal inventory management systems and methods

A method by a computing system, the method comprising:

• accessing yard check data received from a plurality of sources, the yard check data comprising:
• a unit identification number of a particular shipping container of a plurality of shipping containers;
• a location of the particular shipping container within a container yard;
• and
• a confidence level;
• and
• for each particular message received from each particular source:
• storing the unit identification number and the location of the particular shipping container in a unit inventory of an inventory database;
• comparing the confidence level of the particular message to a confidence threshold for the particular source;
• and
• electronically communicating, across a communications network, the unit identification number and the location of the particular shipping container for storage in a production database when the confidence level of the particular message exceeds the confidence threshold for the particular source.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• accessing a plurality of messages received from a plurality of sources, each of the messages comprising yard check data, the yard check data comprising:
• a unit identification number of a particular shipping container of a plurality of shipping containers;
• a location of the particular shipping container within a container yard;
• and
• a confidence level;
• and
• for each particular message received from each particular source:
• storing the unit identification number and the location of the particular shipping container in a unit inventory of an inventory database;
• comparing the confidence level of the particular message to a confidence threshold for the particular source;
• and
• electronically communicating, across a communications network, the unit identification number and the location of the particular shipping container for storage in a production database when the confidence level of the particular message exceeds the confidence threshold for the particular source.
