Why Terminal?
The Yard of the Future, Today
Transforming the yard from bottleneck to competitive differentiator with the power of AI and Computer Vision.
The Problem
The Yard is a Black Hole
The yard has long been a technology blind spot in logistics. While most operators use TMS and WMS platforms, only about one in four deploy a Yard Management System, leaving yard operations manual, fragmented, and hard to integrate. Yards are inherently complex—users, assets, movements, visibility needs, and appointments constantly change across systems. This variability overwhelms traditional, configuration-based YMS platforms, leaving the yard a persistent operational bottleneck.
Point Solutions
Point tech like camera solutions can be too narrow in scope to meet the full breadth of needs of the modern yard.
Visibility and Supply Chain Management Solutions
Broadly-suited solutions are often robust in other areas, but their YMS modules are frequently an afterthought with little innovation.
Specialized YMS Vendors
Existing YMS vendors may have decent technology for automating individual processes, but their systems often have to be cobbled together with other technology to achieve an end-to-end solution.
The Yard is a Pain Point for Everyone
The reason for weak adoption of YMS technology is because current yard systems on the market today are either too limited, disjointed, or outdated to meet the needs of chaotic yard environments.
Executive Leadership
The yard causes financial blind spots and strategic risks that impact the entire business.
Corporate Innovation
Legacy systems and data silos in the yard hinder their ability to integrate technology and drive automation across the supply chain.
Operational Management
Lack the real-time visibility and inefficient communication, which are daily challenges that slow down logistics operations.
Logistics Specialists
They care about yard problems because manual processes and a lack of accurate data prevent them from efficiently tracking trailers and managing demurrage and detention fees.
Frontline Users
Problems in the yard cause wasted time, confusing instructions, and unsafe conditions.
The Solution
A Different Kind Of Company,
A Different Approach to Solving the Yard
Terminal was founded by industry leaders to set a new, AI-driven standard for yard automation and execution. Unlike fragmented point solutions, the Terminal Yard Operating System™ unifies critical yard functions — from optimizing driver flow to delivering real-time asset visibility — within a single platform that integrates seamlessly with existing WMS and TMS. Built on a modern, computer-vision-powered, AI-native tech stack, Terminal is designed to scale to the unique complexity of every yard and deliver rapid, sustainable operational value and ROI.
