Trucks waiting for an available door due to misalignment between yard activity and warehouse operations.
Warehouse staff not ready when trailers are at doors, causing wasted time and increased detention fees.
Slow processes due to poor dock scheduling, manual documentation, or inadequate equipment.
Lack of synchronization between yard jockeys, dock workers, and warehouse managers creates inefficiency..

Terminal 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 focuses on execution inside the yard—connecting gate, yard, and dock operations in a single platform to eliminate inefficiencies, data silos, and manual workarounds.

Yard management software has become a critical tool for modern supply chain logistics, transforming how distribution centers and warehouses handle the complex choreography of inbound and outbound shipments. At its core, YMS digitizes and automates the movement of trailers, trucks, and cargo within the yard—that often-overlooked space between the gate and the dock where inefficiencies can silently drain your operational budget.

A dock scheduler is an essential tool for managing warehouse operations. It helps coordinate the timing and allocation of loading dock resources, ensuring smooth movement of freight. With this software, warehouses can effectively manage incoming and outgoing shipments, reducing delays and improving overall efficiency.

The logistics industry is facing unprecedented challenges as over $50 billion worth of goods are transported daily through more than 50,000 warehouses and factories in North America. While warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation management systems (TMS) have successfully digitized operations inside facilities and on highways, the yard area still remains a significant data and technology blind spot.

Yard dock management is a crucial link between highway transportation and warehouse activities. It involves coordinating the movement of trailers, drivers, and cargo in the often-neglected area outside your facility. You can think of it as the logistics version of air traffic control – ensuring smooth flow, precise timing, and strategic positioning of assets to avoid delays and optimize efficiency.

The modern logistics landscape demands precision, efficiency, and seamless coordination across every touchpoint in the supply chain. Dock scheduling software has emerged as a critical technology that transforms how warehouses manage their most congested operational bottleneck: the loading dock.
