AutoGate AI
Your supply chain data can do more than track shipments—it can transform your physical operations. AutoGate AI takes the information you already have and puts it to work at your facility’s entry points. By connecting digital shipment details with real-world truck movements, we cut check-in times from 10+ minutes to under 2 minutes, eliminate manual processes, and create a seamless experience that benefits everyone.
This is what happens when your supply chain data meets the real world.
AutoGate AI can match incoming trucks with your existing shipment data, creating the potential for a completely hands-free check-in experience – no gate guard needed. This cuts manual gate work by 90%+, saving an average of $70-150K in labor costs annually per facility while dramatically improving data accuracy.
When drivers complete check-in, they immediately receive precise, customized instructions. For live loads: which dock door to use. For drop trailers: which yard spot to use. These automated directions eliminate confusion, reduce unnecessary yard movement, and create a professional experience that carriers notice and appreciate.
With AutoGate AI, you can expand receiving hours without expanding payroll. The system works around the clock, enabling secure after-hours drop operations that can increase your facility’s throughput by up to 100%. Each entry and exit creates a verified digital record, while automated validation ensures security throughout your operation.
Every gate interaction creates a permanent digital record that replaces unreliable paper logs. These records provide concrete evidence for detention discussions and deliver insights for operational improvements. With accurate data on dwell times, asset movements, and carrier performance, you build the foundation for continuous improvement.
Other gate solutions start from scratch. AutoGate AI leverages the appointment details, shipment data, and carrier information in the FourKites platform to create a faster, more accurate gate experience that benefits everyone.
Customers typically reduce gate staffing needs by 90%, saving $70-150K annually per facility while improving data quality. With 24/7 operations now possible without staffing costs, you can increase throughput by up to 100% without adding headcount.
Whether through mobile pre-check-in, QR codes, or on-site kiosks, drivers get a streamlined experience that respects their time and preferences. This flexibility improves carrier satisfaction while maintaining process quality across your network.
Unlike standalone gate solutions, AutoGate AI connects directly to your broader supply chain operations, creating seamless workflows from transportation planning through yard operations to dock execution and beyond.
