Modern ports face constant pressure: growing volumes, stricter customs protocols, and ever-higher expectations from clients. To remain competitive, terminal operators need an advanced TOS operating system — one that delivers full visibility, smart planning, and seamless integration across the supply chain.

What is a TOS operating system?

A TOS (Terminal Operating System) is the central nervous system of your terminal. From container to RoRo and general cargo, it manages operations end-to-end — including vessel arrivals, yard planning, equipment use, and gate processes.

With a robust solution like CENTER TOS, you can minimize human error, cut operational delays, and gain real-time control.

Key benefits of a smart TOS operating system

A generic IT setup won’t cut it in modern port environments. A tailored TOS operating system helps you:

• Optimize cargo flows from vessel to truck

• Sync with customs via CENTER PCS

• Align with planning via CENTER Masterplan

• Centralize communication through the Client Portal

• Generate actionable KPIs with CENTER Intelligence

Whether you’re operating a small terminal or scaling up to serve global carriers, the right TOS empowers you to deliver speed, accuracy, and service.
