Beyond Containers in 2025: Real-Time Asset Tracking Outside the Warehouse Door

In modern logistics, the most expensive visibility gaps rarely happen inside the warehouse. They happen outside the door, in yards, gates, terminals, and depots where containers, trailers, chassis, flatbeds, and trucks are constantly moving without reliable digital confirmation. That is where SiteTrax.io has grown the most in 2025, expanding real-time asset tracking far beyond containers and into the full operational reality of intermodal logistics.

What Is Real-Time Yard Visibility?

Real-time yard visibility means knowing exactly what assets are present, where they are located, and when they moved, without relying on manual checks, spreadsheets, or expensive fixed infrastructure. It answers the most common and costly question in logistics operations: where is my stuff?

For many organizations, visibility stops at the warehouse door or is limited to a single gate system. SiteTrax.io extends visibility across the entire yard and beyond, delivering trusted asset identification anywhere a camera can see.

Asset Types SiteTrax.io Identifies

Today, SiteTrax.io delivers real-time identification and tracking for the full range of intermodal and yard assets, including:

  • Intermodal containers

  • Trailers

  • Chassis

  • Flatbeds

  • Trucks and DOT numbers

  • Custom and nonstandard assets unique to specific operations

If an asset lives outside the warehouse door and plays a role in yard, gate, port, or terminal operations, SiteTrax.io can capture it and turn it into operational data.

How SiteTrax.io Captures Asset Data

One of the biggest barriers to visibility has always been hardware constraints. SiteTrax.io removed that barrier by building a device-agnostic platform designed to work with the tools operators already have.

SiteTrax.io Mobile enables teams to use smartphones and tablets to capture asset IDs, locations, and timestamps anywhere in the yard or field. This is ideal for inventory checks, proof of pickup or delivery, and rapid deployments.

SiteTrax.io Snap provides a lightweight, browser-based experience for quick asset capture without installing native apps or specialized equipment. It is designed for speed, flexibility, and simplicity.

SiteTrax.io Gate delivers automated, AI-driven asset identification at fixed entrances, exits, and checkpoints. It creates reliable gate events without the cost and rigidity of traditional OCR gate systems.

SiteTrax.io Drive turns vehicle-mounted cameras into continuous scanning engines. As yard vehicles move naturally through operations, Drive captures real-time asset data without slowing work down.

For environments that are access-challenged or safety-sensitive, SiteTrax.io also integrates with aerial drones and autonomous vehicles, ensuring visibility is never limited by location or conditions.

Common Use Cases for Yard and Gate Operations

SiteTrax.io supports a wide range of operational use cases, including:

  • Automated gate check-in and check-out

  • Yard inventory and audits

  • Proof of pickup and proof of delivery

  • Asset dwell time tracking

  • Security and exception detection

  • Custom asset identification

All data is delivered in a standardized format via API, dashboard, or export, making it easy to integrate with YMS, TMS, ERP, and other supply chain systems.

Why Computer Vision Beats Legacy Tracking Methods

Traditional methods like manual checks, RFID, GPS pucks, and legacy OCR systems are expensive, incomplete, or difficult to scale. Computer vision removes those constraints by using cameras to observe what is already happening in real time.

SiteTrax.io’s computer vision models are trained for real-world conditions, including poor lighting, dirty or damaged assets, irregular angles, and constant motion. The result is accurate, reliable asset data without changing how yards operate.

Where Does It Stop?

SiteTrax.io stops where visibility stops being useful. We track assets, not atoms. We solve operational chaos, not novelty problems. We identify what actually moves supply chains forward.

If it rolls, hauls, parks, queues, idles, or gets lost outside the warehouse door, SiteTrax.io is already there.
