Gate Auto-Lift
Yard & Depot Management System
Real-Time Vehicle Tracking, Gate Control & Inventory Management for Finished-Goods Yards
Overview
Manages the inward and outward movement of finished-goods vehicles across manufacturing yards and distribution depots. Uses barcodes or RFID tags on vehicles and SKUs, with gate-entry scanning, yard-slot assignment, FIFO dispatch, inventory reconciliation, and dispatch-advice matching — giving plant and depot managers complete, real-time visibility of every vehicle and every SKU on site. Deployed for automobile manufacturers and 3PL operators, with international deployments already operational.
Key Features
Gate-Entry Scanning
Barcode or RFID scan at the gate captures vehicle and SKU details instantly, replacing manual gate registers and reducing entry/exit time.
Yard-Slot Assignment
Automatically assigns and tracks vehicle parking and loading slots across the yard in real time, so nothing is ever 'lost' on-site.
FIFO Dispatch Management
Enforces First-In-First-Out dispatch to prevent ageing inventory, minimise waste, and keep stock rotation predictable.
Dispatch-Advice Matching
Cross-verifies outgoing shipments against the dispatch advice/ASN before the vehicle exits the gate, flagging mismatches before they leave the premises.
Inventory Reconciliation
Keeps yard and mother-depot stock reconciled with ERP/TMS records in real time, eliminating manual stock-take discrepancies.
Multi-Site & International Rollout
Proven across multiple domestic plants and export yards, supporting multi-location depot operations including international sites.

- Short-shipment and theft disputes at the point of dispatch
- Aged stock build-up due to lack of enforced FIFO discipline
