Terminal in the Yard
The Problem
Difficulty locating trailers due to poor tracking, manual yard maps, or radio call-outs.g lines of trucks waiting for check-in due to manual processes or limited gate staff
Yard trucks spend time searching for trailers or making non-value-added shuffles.
Operators don’t know what spaces are available or which assets are full/empty, creating inefficiencies.
Congested lanes, unclear traffic flows, and lack of monitoring increase accident risk between drivers, forklifts, and pedestrians.

Value of Terminal in the Yard
Terminal can remove the need for dispatchers entirely and saves time spent by operators roaming the yard to search for assets or error-prone manual task assignments.
Reduction in time spent searching for assets
Improvement in asset utilization
Reduction average trailer dwell time
This application enables real-time location tracking (RTLS) of assets using computer vision on spotter vehicles. It automates the capture of asset IDs and their locations, providing a constantly updated and accurate yard inventory when installed on an eligible spotter vehicle.
Bridges the gap between dispatch and execution, putting a live, prioritized task list directly in the spotter's cab. It replaces radio chatter with simple, one-tap actions and gives dispatchers real-time visibility into every step of a move.
Unifies all inbound and outbound shipments, connecting digital records to physical yard events. It offers dispatchers a real-time view and provides gate guards tools to prevent data entry errors.
Organize all inbound and outbound logistics by providing an intuitive platform for carriers, brokers, and customers to easily self-service their own appointments, reducing manual administrative work for your team. Provides a self-service interface for creating and managing appointments; gives insights into appointment adherence and dock utilization; tracks scheduled vs. actual performance for arrivals and dwell times.
Avoid costly ISR-2305 penalties by tracking truck trips with computer vision and auto-generating required data for reporting. Simplifies reporting by auto-generating ISR-required data; delivers emissions insights to manage WAIRE Points; supports audits with a secure, searchable record of all compliance-related activity.

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. Manhattan YMS, while effective within its ecosystem, is primarily a module of Manhattan’s broader WMS and TMS offerings. Terminal’s focus on AI and computer vision for yard operations delivers a standalone, full-stack solution that provides deeper visibility, automation, and real-time decision-making compared to a WMS-dependent add-on.
