Contargo donates containerLib code, available as open source

Contargo is making internally developed code available to the logistics industry free of charge. The so-called containerLib is now available as an open source solution in the Open Logistics Foundation Repository and helps companies process container numbers and truck registration plates in a standardised way. Behind this lies more than just technology; it is a commitment to the collaborative digitalisation of logistics.

In the day-to-day operations of container logistics, container numbers and registration plates are processed millions of times. Until now, each company has addressed this task independently, with its own code, its own validation rules and its own maintenance effort. Contargo, one of the leading companies in container hinterland logistics, has drawn a conclusion from this: the internally developed Java library containerLib, which validates container numbers in accordance with ISO 6346 and checks truck registration plates according to country-specific requirements, is now freely available as an open source solution in the Open Logistics Foundation repository. Companies that integrate it into their software projects save development time, reduce sources of error, and benefit from a solution that is continuously enhanced by the community.
