In today’s digital-first supply chain, container terminals are under relentless pressure to operate faster, smarter, and more profitably. Yet, ongoing bottlenecks-whether in yard management, equipment utilization, or truck turnaround times continue to challenge both large and mid-sized terminals striving for operational excellence.
Terminal Insights from Kaleris is a game-changing blend of software and expert services, part of our strategic push for advanced optimization in terminal operations. This solution empowers terminal leaders with the granular data insights and actionable guidance they need to optimize every part of their business.
Why Traditional Approaches Aren’t Enough
Most terminals rely on legacy systems and manual reporting, leaving critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) scattered or hard to access. This contributes to:
- Delayed Decision-Making: Lack of real-time data leads to slow reaction times.
- Inefficient Resource Allocation: Incomplete KPI data results in overstaffed shifts or idle equipment.
- Reduced Productivity: Missed opportunities and persistent performance gaps erode profitability.
- Poor Customer Satisfaction: Untracked delays cause vessel bottlenecks and unhappy customers.
What Makes Terminal Insights Different?
Terminal Insights is a comprehensive digital solution and consulting service, built specifically for the complex needs of modern marine terminals as part of our Advanced Optimization initiative. Here’s how it works:
1. OpsView: Real-Time, KPI Dashboards

OpsView’s mobile-friendly dashboards provide operational leaders on-the-ground with up-to-the-minute views of throughput, crane movement, gate activity, and more. Whether you’re in the yard or at the office, you can monitor trends, compare shifts, and spot anomalies before they become problems.
2. Analytics: Deep Dive into Historical Trends
With a robust, cloud-hosted analytics warehouse, Terminal Insights offers powerful tools to dig into historical performance. Identify recurring bottlenecks, evaluate the impact of operational changes, and uncover new opportunities for cost savings and process improvement.
3.: Actionable Reporting using “OpsInsight”
Go beyond generic views with domain-specific reports and customized performance tracking. Surface the “DNA” of your terminal with granular KPIs that pinpoint trouble spots, empower rapid resolution, and enable ongoing process tuning.
4. EVP API Suite: Seamless Integration
Terminal Insights connects effortlessly to your existing TOS, crane systems, sensors, and external carrier platforms through standardized APIs. No heavy-lift IT projects or long development cycles- just quick wins and rapid ROI.
5. Expert Business Analysis & Collaboraton
Technology is only half the story: our expert analysts and service teams partner collaborate with the terminal operational team to interpret the data, troubleshoot bottlenecks, and implement process changes that stick. From onboarding to ongoing optimization, the Kaleris team ensures terminal’s investment delivers lasting results.
Real Results: From Bottlenecks to Breakthroughs
Adopters of Terminal Insights have realized measurable improvements in just a few months, which eventually improved their terminal throughput and performance. That includes-
Higher productivity: Visible improvement in truck moves per hour.
Operational efficiency: Noticeable gains in gross moves per hour in under a year.
Equipment performance: Significant increase in RTG moves per hour.
Reduced rehandles: Brought down from 25% to 15.8% within a year.
All of these achieved through the strength of our solutions and the dedicated team supporting terminals on their growth journey.
Why Now? The Case for Action
With growing vessel sizes, tighter turnaround requirements, and increasing pressure from global supply chains, now is the time for terminals to embrace smarter, data-led operations.
Terminal Insights-—as part of Kaleris’ Advanced Optimization suite—gives you the tools, insights, and expert support to move from reactive firefighting to proactive excellence, transforming old bottlenecks into new opportunities for growth.
