Problem
Freight terminals, yards, and facilities often rely on manual gate logs and occasional photos to verify carrier, truck, and trailer identities. Inaccurate or missing records lead to disputes over detention, damages, parking fees, and increase the risk of cargo theft.
Solution
Trapezoid delivers a single, AI‑enabled camera that automatically captures every entry and exit of commercial vehicles at any gate or bottleneck. The system uses custom visual models to match photographed features to a vehicle’s VIN, generating verifiable proof of carrier, truck, and trailer identity. Photographic evidence and timestamped events are stored in a cloud‑based directory, creating searchable profiles that include historical activity and background checks. Real‑time alerts flag unauthorized or suspicious vehicles, helping operators prevent theft and resolve fee disputes quickly. The solution is installed in about 20 minutes, operates passively 24/7, and integrates with existing logistics workflows without requiring on‑site staff.
Target Audience
Primary customers are logistics operators, freight terminals, yard managers, and fleet managers who need reliable, automated verification of trucks and trailers at gates and loading facilities.
