Talk to an expert

Terminal Industries delivers the industry’s first AI-native, Computer Vision-powered Yard Operating System (YOS), turning the yard into a fully orchestrated, automated environment. Unlike Kaleris, which consolidates existing supply chain software across multiple nodes, Terminal Industries focuses on execution inside the yard—connecting gate, yard, and dock operations in a single platform to eliminate inefficiencies, data silos, and manual workarounds.

Why Terminal Wins

Yard-First, AI-Native Platform Terminal was designed from the ground up as a Yard Operating System with AI and computer vision powering workflows. Kaleris’ yard yard-specific capabilities are less specialized and often secondary.

Full Operational Orchestration Terminal orchestrates gates, yard assets, dock scheduling, and spotter workflows in real time. Kaleris yard orchestration is tied to WMS and often lacks autonomous AI-driven decision-making.

Flexibility & Ecosystem-Agnostic Deployment – Terminal integrates seamlessly with multiple TMS, WMS, ERP, and legacy systems. Kaleris works best within its own suite, making heterogeneous systems more challenging.
