The Triple Squeeze on Dry Ports

Seaports push cargo inland, rail schedules shift daily, and customs demands paperwork faster than your team can produce it. Without unified software for international supply chain management, every squeeze multiplies across your business.

1

Gate Congestion

Trucks queue 90+ minutes at paper-based gates. Drivers idle, slots expire, and yard planners have no visibility into what freight is coming next. Every delayed truck cascades into missed rail cut-offs. As a cloud-based dry port solution, CYMS connects gate processing, rail handoff, warehouse execution, customs workflows, and billing. For dry port operations, CYMS keeps automation tied to real operational workflows such as gate processing, rail handoff.

2

Rail–Road Mismatch

Rail consists arrive with incomplete manifests, drayage trucks miss cut-offs, and wagon positions change en route. Without real-time synchronization, the process becomes pure guesswork.

3

Customs & Compliance

Bonded warehouse documentation assembled by hand. HS codes typed twice. Inspection flags missed. One audit finding threatens your bonded license.

4

No Visibility

Cargo owners call for updates. Planners rely on yesterday's data. Finance invoices days late. Without a live digital twin, your yard becomes a black box.

One Integrated Platform for the Entire Inland Terminal

A dry port terminal operating system unifies gate management, yard control, warehouse execution, rail coordination, customs processing, billing, and analytics into a single real-time solution — shared by every team from gate clerks to finance.

Gate & Rail Sync

OCR gate-in processing, slot booking, RFID scanning, and rail consist synchronisation. Truck turn time drops from 90 to 25 minutes.

Yard & Warehouse

AI stacking algorithms, equipment dispatch, bonded inventory control, reefer monitoring, cross-dock optimisation. Every container and pallet tracked in real time.

Customs & Billing

Intelligent customs processing, HS-code tagging, duty calculations, auto-tariff invoicing, and shipper self-service portal in one integrated workflow.

Six Integrated Modules That Run an Inland Terminal

Dry port gate entrance with truck lanes and overhead OCR cameras

Gate OCR & Slot Booking

Container-code and license-plate recognition, pre-booked arrival slots, self-service kiosks, and digital EIR. Truck turn time drops from 90 to 25 minutes.

AI Yard Orchestration

Dynamic stacking considering weight, dwell time, destination, and rail cut-off. Re-handles drop 35% while RTG and reach-stacker job lists update in real time.

Rail Scheduling & Sync

Real-time consist tracking, wagon-position mapping, and intelligent drayage alignment, fully compatible with existing TOS and yard operations software. Rail cut-off alerts keep your intermodal logistics on schedule.

Warehouse Management

Bonded inventory control, FIFO/FEFO slotting, RF-driven cycle counts, cross-dock optimisation, and IoT reefer monitoring. One scan keeps everything synchronised.

Customs Management

One-click customs documentation: HS codes, duty calculations, inspection flags, and time-stamped audit trails. EU and FIATA compliant out of the box.

Analytics & Digital Twin

Live KPI dashboards, digital twin yard simulation, CO₂ footprint tracking, and "what-if" capacity scenarios. Forecast congestion 48 hours out.

Container Journey Through the Smart Dry Port

1

Gate Entry & OCR

Truck arrives with pre-booked slot. OCR cameras capture container numbers and license plate data. Digital EIR generated instantly, reducing gate processing time.

2

AI Yard Planning

Software calculates optimal stacking location based on weight, destination, dwell time, and rail departure. Equipment automatically dispatched with real-time job updates.

3

Warehouse & Rail Sync

Bonded cargo flows through warehouse with full tracking. Rail scheduling tools synchronise with consist arrivals. Import/export customs clearance documents auto-generated.

4

Automated Billing & Analytics

Platform generates invoices automatically at gate-out. Real-time analytics provide business intelligence on performance metrics and cost reduction opportunities.

From Discovery to Live Terminal in Just 5 Days

Days 1–2

Business Discovery

Map gate lanes, yard blocks, rail sidings, warehouse zones, customs workflows, and billing processes. Audit integration points with rail operators and port community systems.

Days 3–4

Pilot & Configuration

Run one gate lane and yard block in sandbox alongside existing workflows. Configure stacking rules, billing tariffs, customs templates, and rail connectors.

Day 5

Full Roll-Out & Support

Expand platform across your entire yard, warehouse, billing, and customer portal. Real-time performance monitoring and hand-off to our dedicated success team.

Dry Port TOS Platform — Business & Technical Information

Via REST/GraphQL API plus pre-built connectors that sync train consists, ETAs, and wagon positions in real time. No middleware required. The system aligns drayage trucks with rail cut-offs automatically.

Time-stamped audit trails and automated customs clearance packs satisfy EU and FIATA guidelines. The system generates HS codes, duty calculations, and inspection flags in one click with configurable retention policies.

Yes. BLE probes stream sensor data into the platform, triggering instant alerts when temperature or humidity thresholds are breached. Door-open events are logged with timestamps for full chain-of-custody visibility.

Most terminals go live in 5 days: Days 1–2 for discovery, Days 3–4 for pilot and configuration, Day 5 for full roll-out. Because it's SaaS, there is no hardware procurement or data-centre build-out.

Yes. The live sustainability dashboard tracks CO₂ per container move, per equipment type, and per transport mode. Data feeds directly into green-corridor reporting and ESG audit packs.

All features roll out automatically during a weekly maintenance window via our zero-downtime SaaS pipeline. No manual patching, no downtime, no version fragmentation.
