CONE.TOS – Terminal Operating System (TOS)

Full Operational Control and Automated Decisions Across Yard, Vessel, Gate, and Billing

Terminal operating system for Ro-Ro, multi-purpose cargo, and container terminals. Plan, execute, and track every operation from one system - without forcing process change.

Supports Core Daily Terminal Operations With Configurable Workflows

Yard and depot operations

Multi-cargo environments including Ro-Ro, containers and break bulk handling. Visualization of Yard status and automatic cargo allocation decisions.

Vessel and rail coordination

Support for planning, and loading/unloading workflows and online coordination across vessel and rail operations.

Gate coordination

Gate-in and Gate-out document processing, and yard positioning as part of a single operational flow.

Non-standard and mixed operational conditions

Shared infrastructure, manual overrides, operational and document exceptions, and real-world constraints.

Billing tied to actual operations

Invoicing based on services performed, storage, handling, reefer charges with contract-specific charging logic.

Operational reporting for daily control

Operational volumes and resource utilization for operational decision-making.

Full visibility over every cargo movement

From vessel discharge to gate-out, Cone TOS gives your team a single connected view of the yard — with real-time position tracking, automated job sequencing, and graphical planning tools built for multi-purpose operations.

Built for Real
Terminal Conditions

The system adapts to operations through configuration, not custom code. Designed to handle the operational realities that rigid platforms force you to work around.

process_chart

Mixed cargo operations within a single system instance

Operate Ro-Ro, container, and bulk terminals under one system while preserving terminal-specific rules, processes, and roles — without forcing one terminal type into another's logic.

component_exchange

Disruption-tolerant planning and execution

Handle no-shows, late arrivals, missed slots, and last-minute changes to voyage, destination, or priority with consistent rules for re-allocation, cut-offs, and customer commitments.

Configurable workflows for non-standard operations

Model real operations as they are: collect data at atypical points, insert additional approval/validation steps, and tune priorities and routing rules without custom code  for every exception.

rule_settings

In-process changes for composite units

Represent real Ro-Ro structures such as truck + trailer, roll trailer + cargo, swap bodies, and equipment changes — including how operational status, documents, and holds propagate across components.

Designed to Operate Within Existing Terminal Environments

Integrates with existing ERP, billing, and operational systems. Deployed in phases to maintain continuity of live operations.

Add operational scope without system replacement

Case:
Terminal in Europe

"We launched a multipurpose terminal on Cone's platform from day one — TOS, GOS and TCS. The systems have scaled with us as throughput has grown, and when we expand the Ro-Ro yard, it will be built into the same environment. That continuity matters when you are running mixed cargo operations."
