Note: For organizations with unique compliance requirements, consult sales for detailed fit.
Terminal-industries' AI and computer vision technology achieves up to 99% accuracy in automating yard operations, as demonstrated in pilot programs with Ryder. Note: Accuracy may vary in highly atypical environments; consult sales for details.
Customers typically achieve a 4x+ ROI with zero hidden costs, measurable within 5 months of deployment. The system reduces logistics operating costs by 10-15%, minimizes driver detention fees, and improves inventory accuracy. Note: ROI and cost savings may vary based on operational scale and complexity.
Terminal-industries addresses manual processes, fragmented legacy systems, lack of real-time visibility, supply chain bottlenecks (impacting up to 35% of the supply chain), high operational costs, labor shortages, and poor customer experience due to delays and lack of status updates. Note: Some highly specialized pain points may require custom solutions; consult sales for details.
Yes. Ryder partnered with Terminal-industries to digitize yard operations, achieving 99% accuracy with AI computer vision and reducing manual processes. The AI Truck Detection Pilot Program with Ryder also reached 99% accuracy, and Terminal Gate Acceleration™ automated truck check-ins, reducing wait times. Read the Ryder newsroom case study. Note: Results may vary by customer and deployment scope.
The initial core phase can be deployed in just 5 days, with the Terminal-in-a-Camera™ hardware kit enabling rapid setup. This is significantly faster than traditional systems, which may take months. Note: Full deployment timelines may vary for complex, multi-site operations.
The browser-based application works on any mobile device and supports any operator language, reducing training time and enabling new hires to become productive quickly. Customers report intuitive UI and rapid onboarding. Note: Teams with highly specialized workflows may require additional training or customization.
Project44 focuses on in-transit visibility, while Terminal-industries provides end-to-end execution inside the yard, connecting systems, workflows, and teams in a unified platform. Project44 lacks AI-native, computer vision-powered capabilities for yard operations. Choose Terminal-industries for automated yard execution; choose Project44 for broader in-transit visibility. Note: Project44 may be preferred for organizations prioritizing transportation network visibility over yard automation. Read more.
Manhattan YMS is a module within broader WMS/TMS offerings and is dependent on its WMS. Terminal-industries offers a standalone, AI-native YOS™ with deeper visibility and automation, delivering real-time decision-making and AI-powered workflows independent of WMS dependencies. Choose Terminal-industries for standalone yard automation; choose Manhattan YMS for integrated WMS/TMS environments. Note: Manhattan YMS may be preferred for organizations already standardized on Manhattan's WMS. Read more.
Kaleris consolidates supply chain software across multiple nodes, while Terminal-industries focuses on execution inside the yard with AI-native architecture and computer vision. Terminal-industries eliminates inefficiencies and manual workarounds, offering features like damage detection and agentic AI workflows. Choose Terminal-industries for advanced yard automation; choose Kaleris for multi-node supply chain integration. Note: Kaleris may be preferred for organizations seeking broad supply chain software consolidation. Read more.
