1. A container monitoring system for substantially real-time monitoring of a container, the container monitoring system comprising: a scale assembly configured to support the container and measure the container according to a preselected metric to produce scale data; and a processor module communicatively linked to the scale assembly and configured to: receive and retrieve the scale data from the scale assembly in substantially real-time; receive container identification information; and transmit the scale data and the container identification information to at least one of a remote server and a remote database; and a front-end application communicatively linked to the processor module and configured to: retrieve sales data corresponding to the container from a database; process the scale data, wherein processing the scale data corresponds to reconciling the scale data with the sales data; identify an irregularity in the processed data, wherein an irregularity corresponds to a discrepancy between the scale data and the sales data; determine an inference about the cause of the irregularity in the processed data; and display the processed data and the inference to the user.
