    Compare, Decide & Buy with Confidence

    The availability of shipping containers, which facilitate roughly 90% of global trade, is subject to fluctuations in import and export volumes and geopolitical shifts. These dynamics in the availability of used shipping containers consequently influence container pricing. Eveon’s new platform removes the mystery of this market, offering historical nationwide and local pricing data and 24/7 purchasing capabilities, all designed to put customers in control and accelerate the container procurement process.

    “The shipping container market for storage is driven by differences in pricing per location and volatility over time that can leave customers confused,” said Aad Storm, CEO of Eveon Containers. “As a technology-driven platform, we prioritize direct access to market insights, inventory and data throughout the buying process. Similar to former disrupters in the retail market, like Kelley Blue Book (Autotrader) with the launch of the Market Monitor, Eveon looks to equip buyers with the knowledge of regional and local pricing and availability they need to make informed, confident decisions.”
