Chief Marketing Officer

Josh Kivenko has spent nearly two decades developing winning go-to-market strategies in supply chain related fields. As CMO, he is driven to reinvent the yard by building a winning brand that connects critical customer needs to the magic of Terminal's technology.

Terminal is a purpose-built, AI-native Yard Operating System (YOS) that provides end-to-end orchestration and automation across the entire yard, from gate to dock and across the network. Renaissant positions itself as a broader logistics process automation platform, bridging with  WMS, TMS, and ERP systems. While both aim to eliminate inefficiencies, Terminal is focused on real-world yard execution, leveraging computer vision and automation to transform yard operations into a strategic asset.

Why Terminal Wins

Yard-Focused, AI-Native Platform – Terminal is built specifically for yard operations with computer vision and AI, Renaissant is a more focused on process automation.Real-Time Visibility & Digital Twin – Terminal provides site- and network-wide real-time asset visibility; Renaissant relies more on data standardization than live operations insights.

All-in-One Deployment & Pricing – Terminal includes software, hardware, and services in a single subscription, simplifying costs; Renaissant requires more integration and separate components.
