Fluidize your terminal gates and yard with the best AI Gate-Fee Billing engine
Our DMS Billing engine captures every gate move, Last Free Day, storage & demurrage event, applies your tariff rules and issues priced invoices in real time — replacing manual gate-fee billing and collection.
Note: the Billing engine turns every terminal event into a priced, collectible invoice.
Trusted by industry-leading innovators
Discover the unique advantages of our AI Gate-Fee Billing: Exclusive to DMSLOG.Ai, our system boasts pioneering features unmatched in the industry. Explore our key innovations.
Ai is a new topic in the port industry and it can be a huge innovation plan for terminal operators.
DMSLOG.Ai solutions are already used on a daily basis around the world, which raises every uncertainty about the deployment, integration and results.

Benefits for your terminal
Make your terminal more fluid, efficient and therefore attractive
DMSLOG.Ai acts as a conductor and allows your terminal to invoice and collect every gate move and run the gate with zero manual typos.
Benefits for your drivers
Lower your Truck Turn-around Time (TTT)
Transporters using DMS Gate-Fee Billing benefit from automatic charge calculation and dispute support before every invoice.
Moreover, dispatcher’s operations (from any TMS / ERP) can be synchronized with billing via API. Then, drivers invoicing on the terminal can be 90% automated.

Billing Pricing 🏷️
The terminal subscribes to billing (‘full billing’ or ‘Ai API only’) – and pays monthly based on its volume of containers – then, transporters use billing for free.
Billing is a service provided by the terminal to its carriers community in order to facilitate their daily relation.
Besides, transporters benefit from advanced features that let them see every charge upfront, pay online in one click, and clear pickup without a billing dispute.

This deployment process is done in 3 main steps.
Phase 1 – Dual Operation:
Initially, you’ll continue operating your current Gate-Fee Billing while we deploy our new system. This phase ensures there is no disruption in your terminal’s operations. Our team will work closely with yours to set up the new billing in parallel, focusing on integrating it seamlessly with your existing infrastructure.
Phase 2 – Hybrid Testing:
In this phase, both the old and new billing will be operational concurrently. This ‘hybrid system’ allows us to conduct real-world testing of the new billing with a select group of carriers. It’s a crucial step to ensure the new system functions as intended and to identify and resolve any potential issues. This phase also provides an opportunity for your staff and carriers to familiarize themselves with the new system without fully depending on it.
Phase 3 – Full Transition and Closure:
Once the new billing is thoroughly tested and validated, we’ll transition all transporter activities to it. During this phase, the old billing will be phased out. We ensure a smooth transition where all transporters are now using the new system effectively. Following the successful implementation, the old billing will be closed. However, we will securely store all historical data from the old system to ensure that no critical information is lost and can be accessed if needed.
This phase marks the completion of the transition to the new, more efficient billing, aligning with your terminal’s operational needs and future growth of your Smart Port.
Yes, a CMS is integrated into our Gate-Fee Billing.
This detailed breakdown provides an in-depth look at how the CMS module integrated into billing enhances communication and operational efficiency between the terminal and the carriers community.
For Terminal Managers – Automatic Updates:
- The following automatic features simplifies terminal operations and ensures timely information dissemination.
For Carriers – Community Space Features:
- Invoice & Charge Access: Enabling carriers to view every invoice, charge and payment status in real time, including Last Free Day and demurrage countdowns.
- Container Tracking: Offering carriers the ability to track their invoices and payments at each step, similar to an Amazon order tracking system, including status updates within the vessel and terminal (or on the way to the terminal, when the truck TMS is connected to billing via API).
- Financial Information and Transactions: Providing information on Last Free Day, storage guarantees, payments due, and fees, sourced directly from the Terminal Operating System (TOS). Carriers can conveniently pay these charges using various payment methods like Credit Card, Visa, Mastercard, GooglePay, and ApplePay.
- Truck Turnaround Time Estimations: Availability of a chart displaying estimated Truck Turnaround Times for the current and upcoming days, aiding carriers in planning and logistics.
Public and Private Access
- Access Control: Allowing for tailored information sharing based on the terminal’s and carriers’ needs.
Yes, our billing can work without the Ai layers – even if the best logistics optimizations come from the Ai features.
Contact us for more details, it will be a pleasure to deploy our Gate-Fee Billing on your terminal.
However, a Gate-Fee Billing with Ai Integration has several benefits:
- Advanced Logistics Optimization: Utilizing AI algorithms, the system offers superior logistics management, optimizing container handling and vehicle scheduling.
- Predictive Analytics: AI capabilities enable predictive modeling for better forecasting and decision-making.
- Enhanced Efficiency: The AI layer streamlines operations, reducing wait times and improving turnaround.
- Data-Driven Insights: AI tools provide valuable insights for continuous improvement and strategic planning.
without any longer project deployment (they both need 4 to 6 month).
At DMSLOG.Ai, we understand the diverse needs of modern smart ports. Whether you choose our AI-enhanced Gate-Fee Billing or opt for the non-AI version, we ensure top-quality service and performance. The AI-integrated system is ideal for terminals seeking cutting-edge logistics optimization and data-driven decision-making, aligning with the trending demands for AI in Smart Ports.
However, for those preferring a simpler, quicker-to-deploy solution, our non-AI billing still offers robust functionality and efficiency.
