The problem
Clerks still hand-key container numbers into 1990s-era YMS while a $50K scanner gun sits broken in the office.
Why we built Vantage →U.S. trucking loses $3.6B a year to detention (ATRI)
What’s your yard’s detention number?
Send one day of gate records (any spreadsheet or a photo of the log book) and we reply with your yard’s actual report. No signup.
Three steps. No installer.
Designed so signup to first gate scan typically takes under 10 minutes.³ The phone in the clerk's pocket is the scanner.
Clerk scans the container
Open the camera in Vantage. Point at the container number plate. AI OCR reads it in degraded conditions — rust, fog, faded paint.
Vantage validates instantly
On-device first, cloud-validated, math-checked — 5-stage AI validation. The clerk almost never has to re-key.
Yard updates in real time
Slot assigned. Driver notified. Manager dashboard updates. Downstream tasks unlock only after gate-in completes.
AI OCR built for degraded conditions.
Most yard scanners struggle with rust, fog, and faded paint. Vantage is designed to read containers in the conditions clerks actually face — through a 5-stage AI validation pipeline, not a single guess.
- On-device read. Google ML Kit reads the number right on the phone — free, offline, no round-trip.
- Cloud fallback. If a read looks uncertain and you’re online, GPT-4o vision re-reads it with a container- and trailer-specific prompt.
- ISO 6346 math check. Container numbers are verified against the modulo-11 check digit — a number that fails the math can’t pass as valid.
- Confusable recovery. Common OCR swaps (O↔0, I↔1, B↔8, S↔5) are corrected by position, then re-verified.
- Correction learning. Every clerk edit is captured, so recurring misreads get recognized over time.
Field benchmark in progress — email for current results. Real-world accuracy varies by lighting, container condition, and camera quality.
Built for the deck, not the office.
Every detail — from font size to offline behavior — comes from time on the yard. Glove-thick gloves, 4 a.m. shifts, dead zones, freezing rain.
No fixed gate hardware. No installer.
Your existing iPhone or Android is the scanner, camera, and terminal. Spin up a new yard before lunch.
14-day queue. Gate never stops.
500 transactions cached locally. Walk into the dead zone — finish the cycle. Last-write-wins on reconnect.
7-point inspection workflow.
Digital 7-point checklist designed for CBP requirements. Photo audit pack with SHA-256 hash and driver signature.
Every slot, every move.
Live yard map. Manager sees the whole yard from any browser. Drivers and forklift operators get tasks instantly.
Self-serve appointments.
Carriers book, edit, and track without a phone call. Public tracking link for shippers — no login required.
Drivers don't tap, type, or scan.
The clerk owns capture. Downstream actions are gated on completed scans — that's how full gate capture happens.

The clerk picks their own language at login. US 3PLs with Spanish-speaking gate staff get an immediate first-day fit.
Why DCs are switching.
Traditional YMS were designed around scanner guns and Windows PCs. Vantage was designed around the operator with a phone — and built with transparent, no-surprise pricing.
² Many enterprise YMS publish per-user, per-month pricing in partner directories; total cost depends on user count, modules, and contract terms. Time-to-live and contract claims reflect publicly available implementation guides for representative vendors as of 2026-05; specific timelines vary by site complexity.
³ "Typically under 10 minutes" reflects our onboarding workflow target, not an SLA. Actual time-to-first-scan depends on Apple Developer / Google Play install latency, network condition, and number of yard slots configured. We do not publish measured performance figures yet. Time-to-first-scan, app cold start, and crash-free session rate are being collected from real installs, and we will publish them here once the sample is large enough to be meaningful rather than estimated. If you want the current internal numbers before then, email hello@vantageyms.com and we will send what we have, including the sample size.

Built by an SCM/Logistics operator, for SCM/Logistics operators.
Supply chain operations is full of clerks manually re-keying container numbers into 1990s-era YMS while a $50K scanner gun sits broken in the office.
Vantage replaces that with the phone already in their pocket. The product is real, the code is shipping, and the price is built for operators who want transparency.
If your current YMS feels like it was built for a warehouse that doesn't exist anymore — try Vantage free for 14 days. No setup fee. No demo call required — but we're happy to give you one.
