Kaleris Yard and Transload Management vs myQ Enterprise Gate Management

Kaleris Yard and Transload Management (YTM) is a cloud-based application for visibility into rail yard processes, automating work, and coordinating people and resources. It is intended for liquid and dry bulk shippers and receivers managing operations and inventory at production plants, terminals, and transload facilities. Core workflows include rail rack scheduling, validations, outage and volume correction calculations, and a graphical yard view.

YTM integrates with ERP systems, AEI readers, scales, and rail carriers to handle orders, shipment records, railcar movements, weights, and load information. It can automate inbound and outbound movements, create load and unload actions, and bill railcars. Liquid bulk functions include configurable inspections, seal and defect tracking, and loading calculations using outage and volume correction factors. YTM Mobile runs on iOS and Android tablets, supports online and offline yard operations, and syncs collected data with the desktop application. Mobile tasks include inventory management, switch requests, railcar scanning, photo inspections, seal-data capture, and VCF calculations. Kaleris says its SOC reports cover customer data availability, confidentiality, and security, and that it supports customers on GDPR compliance. Pricing is available on request.

myQ Enterprise Gate Management coordinates truck and driver entry with yard and dock operations. Drivers can check in by SMS, mobile browser or smart kiosk, with multilingual support. The system can verify credentials and appointments, grant access when requirements are met, and record entry. Trailer routing assigns trailers to yard or dock locations based on facility constraints and appointment attributes; a rules engine handles dock assignments using carrier information and load details.

The platform tracks trailer locations and time onsite, and task assignments help manage yard jockey activity. Timestamped check-in and event data support reporting on throughput, wait times and carrier performance. The maker describes native WMS, TMS and ERP integrations, plus direct integration for connected gate devices. Deployments can use hardware, existing infrastructure or software alone. Multi-tenant and 3PL operations can use tenant-specific workflows and routing, with dashboard data segmented by customer. It runs on Android, iOS and web; pricing is available on request.
