Turnkey Gate Automation
Outpost cuts gate operations costs by up to 70%, eliminates delays, and gives you full visibility across your network
In many supply chains, the gate is the weakest link.
Operations rely on manual staffing. Labor costs up to $25K per month. Check-ins are slow. Data is unreliable. Every entry and exit carries risk in the form of missed damage, trailer mix-ups, tailgates, and theft.
Outpost turns the weak link into a competitive advantage.
The New Standard in Gate Automation
Smart Recognition at the Gate
Outpost automatically identifies vehicles and containers that enter and exit your yard. License plates, DOT numbers, container IDs, stenciled markings, and hazmat placards are captured in real time and tied to each gate event, giving you accurate, auditable data.
License Plates
Detected even when dirty, angled, or partially obscured.
USDOT and MC Numbers
Captured directly from door panels and side markings.
Trailer and Container IDs
Includes stenciled, faded, or non-standard formats.
Regulatory Placards
Hazmat and DOT placards archived for compliance.
AI Equipment Inspection
Outpost identifies visible damage, verifies seals, and can perform interior scans of empty trailers and containers. Every event is logged with high-res images and timestamped records.

Automated Driver Validation
Outpost can confirm the identity of drivers to ensure they’re authorized to be on site. Using computer vision, facial recognition, and ID validation, we help prevent unauthorized access, credential sharing, and fraud at the gate.
AI Voice for Driver Communication
Our AI voice agents interact with drivers at the gate to collect information, provide instructions, resolve issues, and escalate when needed.
Policy Enforcement
Outpost enforces your yard and gate rules, helping reduce human error and improve compliance with your standard operating procedures.

Red Tag Detection
Stopless Entries
Outpost is taking the pain out of gate operations. Our drivers get through faster, our teams have better visibility, and our equipment is more secure. Using the platform at Outpost and our own terminals gives us cleaner data, faster terminal throughput, and a unified view of our fleet across Werner and Outpost sites. They’re setting a new standard for how all modern facilities should run.
