About
Velostics is an AI-powered yard management and logistics optimization platform built for mid-market and enterprise businesses looking to modernize their dock, yard, and freight operations. The platform connects directly with a company's Transportation Management System (TMS) to deliver end-to-end visibility and control across inbound and outbound freight flows. Core capabilities include automated dock scheduling with equipment-based assignment, contactless gate check-in, AI-based trailer parking spot optimization, and a shared scheduling calendar network for suppliers, carriers, and customers. AI agents autonomously manage trailer inventory in offsite yards, schedule pickups, and handle carrier check calls—reducing missed supplier pickups by up to 90% and improving labor utilization by 30%. The platform also features a Voice AI Agent that handles appointment scheduling without human intervention, eliminating manual coordination. Drop & hook trailer management, maps-based yard navigation, and real-time trailer condition visibility provide operators with complete situational awareness across their logistics network. Velostics is designed for warehouses, distribution centers, and shippers of all sizes, from small businesses to enterprise logistics operations. It is praised for its quick implementation—go live in one day—and its intuitive interface has earned a 4.8/5 rating on G2. A 30-day free trial is available, and the platform offers transparent pricing plans. Whether managing a single facility or a multi-yard network, Velostics delivers the intelligence and automation to cut dwell times, lower freight costs, and improve cash cycle times by up to two weeks.
