We integrate your TOS with third-party solutions to ensure seamless and reliable data exchange. This enables synchronized information, automated workflows, and connected operations across your terminal.

Optimize Yard Space and Container Flows

Optimize Yard Space and Container Flows

Optimize Yard Space and Container Flows

Use intelligent slot allocation to assign the best storage location for every container automatically. This reduces rehandles, shortens travel distances and prevents congestion before it occurs.

Maximize Equipment Productivity

Maximize Equipment Productivity

Maximize Equipment Productivity

Coordinate vehicles and cranes in real-time by combining jobs and avoiding empty moves. The result is higher utilization, fewer idle times and more efficient use of existing resources.

Improve Train Handling

Improve the Handling Across All Transport Modes

Improve the Handling Across All Transport Modes

Manage rail, road, and barge operations in one system, combining real-time data across all transport modes. Ensuring seamless coordination, fewer disruptions and reliable terminal operations at every moment.

Proven by Results

Terminal operations are becoming more demanding than ever. Our optimization solutions are supporting container terminals handling millions of TEU annually, helping operators to streamline operations, reduce inefficiencies, and achieve measurable performance improvements at scale.

Match OUR TOS to your terminal’s needs.

Intelligent TOS Core

Whether you operate a bimodal or trimodal facility, rely on highly automated processes, or manage operations with manual workflows, our modular TOS adapts to your specific requirements. 
We work with you to configure the right combination of functionality, automation, and optimization to support your operational goals today and future growth tomorrow.

Administrative Features

Simplify administrative processes with digital self-service booking, real-time visibility, and automated tracking of terminal movements to enable accurate invoicing.

Intelligent Yard MODULE

At the heart of our TOS, an AI-powered yard module continuously determines the optimal storage location for every unit based on type, dwell time, outbound mode of transport, and real-time yard conditions. This intelligent base minimizes rehandles and maximizes throughput.

Control Every Area of Your Terminal

The intelligent TOS Core is complemented by our controllers that manage every key area of your terminal. Configure your start set-up based on requirements and equipment. Add more modules, once your terminal evolves and grows. 

Barge Control

Plan and manage incoming and outgoing barge voyages, associated bookings, berth allocation, and simultaneous loading and unloading activities.
 

Rail Control

Manage train schedules, track occupancy, wagon master data, and loading activities from a single platform for transparent and coordinated rail operations.

Gate Control

Digitize gate operations with transparent check-in and check-out processes, truck pre-registration, and optimized assignment of truck handover points.
 

Crane Control

Execute and monitor crane operations across manual, semi-automated, and automated environments.
 

Vehicle Control

Assign, sequence, and schedule transport jobs for all types of terminal vehicles in real-time.
