FIELD OPERATIONS

One Operating Platform for Complex Inland-Terminal Operations

Inland terminals often handle more than containers, combining rail, dangerous goods, breakbulk and warehouse operations in one site.

CHALLENGES

Inland Terminals Combine Diverse Cargo, Strict Safety Rules and Distributed Operations

Efficiency, cost, safety and multi-site management challenges often occur at the same time.

01

Throughput Constraints

Too many handoffs and slow workflows limit usable capacity.

02

Operating Cost

High reliance on manual work, rehandles and energy use increases operating cost.

03

Safety Risk

Dangerous goods and special operations require strict, auditable control.

04

Fragmented Control

Data silos across sites make group-wide control difficult.

BUSINESS SCENARIOS

Six Business Scenarios on One Inland-Terminal Operating Platform

Support mixed operations spanning rail, containers, inspection, dangerous goods and breakbulk within one operating environment.

Rail Handling

Train loading/unloading, direct transfer, load planning and exception handling.

Container Receiving / Delivery

Receiving and delivery planning, appointments, automated gates and intelligent slot assignment.

CFS / Warehouse Operations

Devanning, stuffing, container changes, inbound and outbound warehouse workflows.

Customs / Inspection / Maritime Checks

Inspection planning, container-move instructions and inspection records.

Dangerous-Goods Operations

Rule-enforced incompatibility checks, time/quantity limits and safety separation.

Breakbulk & General Cargo

Inbound/outbound, rehandling, title transfer, repacking, automatic work assignment and smart tallying.

CORE CONTROL

Closed-Loop Control from Planning to Billing

Bring field operations, equipment, gates and commercial data into one operating chain.

Intelligent Planning & Dispatch

Intelligent yard planning and slot assignment, rail load planning and global dispatch of yard cranes / terminal tractors.

Automated Gate Management

Online appointments and time-slot control, automatic license/container recognition, intelligent slot assignment and automated release.

Operational Visibility

Monitor loading/unloading, receiving/delivery and CFS workflows in real time, including work progress, equipment status, on-site inventory and exception alerts.

Intelligent Billing & Settlement

Integrate charging, settlement, payment and invoicing with contract-rate matching, receivables control, risk alerts and commercial analytics.

ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE

Enterprise Architecture for Long-Term Multi-Site Operations

Handle multi-tenancy, changing workflows, auditability, internationalization and operations requirements alongside business complexity.

Microservices + Micro-Frontends

Modular, elastic architecture supporting clustered deployment across multiple sites.

Multi-Tenancy & Data Isolation

Apply hierarchical control across sites and organizations with clear data and permission boundaries.

Configurable Workflows

Adapt to changing operations through configurable rules and workflows instead of repeated custom development.

Logging & Audit

Maintain end-to-end logs of critical operations and data changes for traceability and audit.

Internationalization

Support multilingual and multi-terminal use for international projects and different operating roles.

Visual Operations Monitoring

Monitor system health in real time for faster diagnosis and troubleshooting.

SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

Make High-Risk Operations Rule-Enforced and Auditable

Embed dangerous-goods safety rules into system execution rather than relying on manual judgment alone.

Incompatible Storage Rules

Automatically validate storage compatibility and block violations to reduce mixed-cargo risk.

Time & Quantity Limits

Enforce storage duration and quantity limits with system-based safety separation rules.

Operational Decision Dashboard

Track work volume, yard utilization and equipment productivity in real time, with multi-dimensional revenue, cost and margin analysis.

GROUP OPERATIONS

From Single-Site Deployment to Group-Wide Operations

Support independent site operations, head-office control and cross-site data collaboration under consistent business rules and management standards.

Unified Control

Standardize workflows, permissions and key operating metrics while giving headquarters visibility across sites.

Flexible Deployment

Deploy for a single site, multiple sites or a group and expand as the network grows.

Connected Data

Connect customs, carriers, TOS and external systems through EDI and APIs.

Commercial Coordination

Standardize billing rules and commercial data for cross-site analysis and management.
