Kaleris, a provider of cloud-based supply chain execution and visibility technology solutions, introduced a driver pre-check-in app and gate kiosk that reduce wait time at the check-in gate, along with an enterprise visibility suite which provides a consolidated view of operations across all of an organization's yards to better manage capacity and exceptions.

The app and kiosk allow visiting drivers to navigate a yard faster while at the same time reduce costs to the facility through accelerated gate velocity, according to a press release.

The combination of the new driver pre-check-in app and multi-language gate kiosks directly connected to the Kaleris yard management system empowers facilities to maximize productivity through automated and time-saving practices for both inbound and outbound yard shipments.

Facilities can reduce check-in time per arrival by over 80% while also accelerating gate velocity, reducing wasted effort, providing clear information and greater convenience to visiting drivers, and reapplying limited human labor to higher-value tasks. The app and kiosk can support 24/7 gate operations on manned or unmanned gates.

After completing pre-check-in before arriving at the facility, the app sends the driver a QR code. It simultaneously pings the Kaleris YMS with advanced notice of the driver's arrival, automating a dock door or parking spot reservation.

Once the driver scans their QR code at the kiosk, they are directed to the correct location in the yard and can begin engaging in two-way SMS communication with the facility for additional information or updates.
