Terminal for Smaller Operations

Fix your most pressing yard problem now. Expand on your own terms.

You don't have to rip out and replace anything, or buy a platform you won't use for years. Start with the one problem slowing your yard down today and grow into the full Yard Operating SystemTM on your timeline.

Powering the yards behind brands of all sizes

One yard today. The whole operation when you're ready.

Step 1 - Start with one module on one site

Start with oPick the single problem slowing your yard down most (the gate, visibility, security) and put it on one site. It works on its own from day one, so you prove the value before you commit to anything more.

Step 2 - Add modules as you see value

Once the first module is paying off, layer in the next ones on your own timeline, with no re-implementation. You only ever pay for what you're actually using.

Step 3 - Manage your sites as a single network

When you add sites, they roll up into a single view automatically, so your second and third yards are an expansion of the system you already know, not a new project. The same OS that ran one yard now runs them all.

Case Study

Immediate platform adoption and efficiency gains

A small distributor was running a medium-volume yard around the clock, trying to better coordinate live drivers, drop trailers, and moves across shifts by radio and paper. They were reluctant to stand up new technology fearful of weeks of ramp-up, heavy training, and a dip in execution while crews adjust.

Within days, my team is already self-sufficient. They are managing live drivers, drop trailers, and moves through the app across all three shifts.

Here are the most common questions teams have before getting started with Terminal.

What does Terminal do for a single yard?

Terminal is an AI-native Yard Operating SystemTM (YOSTM) that uses computer vision to to automate check-in, locate every trailer, and direct moves — for one yard or many. You get the same automation the big operators run, sized to your site.

Do I need to tag my trailers or install RFID?

No. Terminal reads trucks and trailers with computer vision, so there's nothing to tag, scan, or maintain.

How is this different from the spreadsheet or whiteboard I use now?

A spreadsheet records what someone remembered to type; Terminal sees what's actually happening in your yard right now and acts on it. It's the difference between a logbook and a live system.

Do I need an IT team to run it?

No. It's cloud-based with minimal IT lift, no servers to buy and no infrastructure to manage.

Does the AI really work on a smaller yard?

Yes. The computer vision delivers the same accuracy whether you run 50 moves a day or 500, a smaller operation just needs fewer cameras.
