Challenges we solve for terminal operators
High-throughput terminal environments demand speed, accuracy, and compliance. Bison Grid delivers all three.
Slow gate processing
Paper-based inspections create bottlenecks at gate-in and gate-out. Express Mode and barcode scanning eliminate manual data entry so your team clears vehicles faster.
Damage disputes
Without photographic evidence, liability disputes are costly and slow. GPS-tagged, timestamped inspections with digital signatures create indisputable handover records.
No VIN-level visibility
OEMs and shipping lines demand real-time tracking. Bison Grid’s client portal gives stakeholders VIN-level status updates throughout processing.
Disconnected systems
Data silos between your TOS, OEM systems, and inspection records slow operations and introduce errors. Bison Grid connects directly to Navis N4, Tideworks, and SAP via API and EDI.

“The Bison app gives us more accurate data collection and the ability to capture more photographic evidence in the same amount of time. The flexibility to handle different types of inspections and ID formats beyond standard 17-digit VINs has been important for our operations, and the management software has streamlined the reporting process for our admin team.”
