SlotGuard

SlotGuard is a web + mobile app for freight rail shippers, terminals, and drayage carriers to reduce detention, demurrage, and missed cutoffs. It aggregates appointment/slot data, train ETAs, gate status, and yard congestion signals into a single operational view, then alerts teams when a container is likely to miss a cutoff or when a gate surge is forming. The AI layer predicts risk (missed pickup, late in-gate, chassis shortage) using historical dwell times, weather, traffic, and carrier performance. Users can assign actions (reschedule, reroute drayage, prioritize pulls) and track outcomes. This is not a consumer rail app; it’s a B2B operations tool that saves real money only if it integrates with messy incumbents and imperfect data. MVP focuses on one region/terminal and a narrow set of integrations to prove ROI fast.
