Automating Detention with Trapezoid Technologies

Keeping track of trailer or container dwell time and the associated detention charges for time spent on site is a time-intensive and manual process for many warehousing and yard operations. Until now.

We’ve all been there. It’s the end of the month and carriers and 3PLs alike are calculating detention charges to finally send out their accessorial bills, leading to an influx of disputes from a delivery you barely remember. 30 minutes of wait time here, a day of extra storage there - it adds up. 

Keeping track of trailer or container dwell time and the associated detention charges for time spent on site is a time-intensive and manual process for many warehousing and yard operations. Until now:

Trapezoid’s AI-powered software and hardware technology automates the collection of useful detention metrics, so you can spend less time disputing charges with carriers, and more time focusing on customers:

  • arrival and departure time
  • truck and trailer details
  • carrier and driver information

Seamless email setup or API integrations with your existing Yard Management System (YMS) or Transportation Management System (TMS) means you don’t have to check another portal or train your team to start seeing results.
