[ SERVICES / FREEDAY WATCH ]

The last free day, watched before the meter starts.

Every container's last free day tracked; warnings before the meter starts, not after the invoice arrives. FreeDay Watch reads the arrival notices, logs the deadlines, and fires the alerts while there is still time to move the box.

OUTPUTDemurrage, dodged.

[ 01 / THE LEAK ]

1 MISSED CONTAINER×5 DAYS=$750–1,500

in demurrage — at $150–300/DAY per container past last free day. It starts with an arrival notice with a last free day nobody logged, and it ends with an invoice that erases the file's margin.

Every deadline with a dollar sign on it — pulled from the documents, tracked on one ledger, escalated while it can still be fixed.

[ 04 / THE HUMAN CHECKPOINT ]

An alert is not an action — your dispatcher is. Every warning lands with the container number, the terminal, the deadline, and the days remaining; your team schedules the dray, clears the alert, and the ledger records who closed it and when. The system watches. Your people move the box.

SURPRISE DEMURRAGE INVOICES — THE WRITTEN TARGET FOR THE WINDOW

[ 06 / QUESTIONS — FREEDAY WATCH ]

ANYTHING ELSE — ASK ON THE AUDIT CALL

The spreadsheet works until the week it doesn't — vacation, volume spike, an arrival notice that never got opened. FreeDay Watch reads the notices itself, so the ledger doesn't depend on the person who was busiest that morning. One missed box at $150–300/DAY pays for months of the system.

From the arrival notices themselves, cross-checked against carrier and terminal data. When a last free day moves, the ledger and the warnings move with it — that's precisely the failure mode stickies and spreadsheets can't survive.

Your team gets the container, terminal, deadline, and days remaining — in the inbox first, then escalating if nobody clears it. Alerts keep firing until a human closes them. Silence is the one thing the system refuses to do.
