Automate your gate. Cut the cost of staffing it.

A 24/7 guard post runs $14,400–$18,000 a month — before overtime, no-shows, and turnover. GateGuardX clears known trucks in under a second and logs every crossing with a plate photo and vehicle image, so you automate the gate and keep the record a guard used to keep. It installs on the gate you already have — one site automated a $216,000/year guard post and kept the audit trail.

What changes on day one
  • Guard costs drop sharply, and many sites reduce or reassign the guard shifts currently covering each gate.
  • Trucks stop waiting, the plate clears in under a second and the arm's already up, no window down, no clipboard.
  • Every crossing is on the record, plate photo, vehicle image, video clip, timestamp.
  • One dashboard for every site, add, revoke, or transfer access in seconds across locations.
In the product

Clear a visitor in seconds, just type the plate.

Add a guest pass with a plate and a name, and the gate opens for that vehicle the moment it arrives, no booth, no call, no code to share.

Analytics

Every gate event, measured.

One dashboard rolls up every crossing across your yards, authorized, unauthorized, and guest, by direction and by hour.

  • 1,240 crossings, 87% authorized, each with its trend vs. the prior period
  • 6 hours 21 minutes of guard time saved this week, totaled automatically
  • Traffic by direction and a peak-hours heatmap, so you can schedule staff around real traffic
Every gate event, measured.
Live activity

Every crossing, every gate, live.

A live log of every vehicle across all your yards, newest first, plate, direction, site, and the gate's decision, the moment it happens.

The software

It's not just a gate opener. It's the system that runs your gate.

Everything below is the actual product, the same screens your team uses every day, shown full size.

The record

Every entry is an auditable record.

Open any crossing for the full vehicle photo, the read plate, a short video clip, make, model, and color (auto-detected, for reference), and how often that vehicle has visited.

  • Plate, photo, and clip, kept for as long as your policy says
  • Visit history flags repeat and first-time vehicles
  • Encrypted, access-controlled, logged on every open
Every entry is an auditable record.
Reliability

Know your gates are up, to the second.

See whether each site is up, whether its cameras are working, and when it last checked in, so you catch a dead camera before a truck is waiting at the gate.

  • Live device and camera status across every site
  • Uptime, camera status, and a history of any outages
  • Alerts the moment a gate needs attention
Know your gates are up, to the second.
Security

Flag a plate. Get alerted the moment it shows.

Keep a watchlist of vehicles of interest (banned, watch-for, or trespassing) and the system raises an alert the instant one approaches any gate.

  • Watchlist, banned, and watch-for lists
  • Instant alert with site, time, and plate
  • Every watchlist match logged across all your sites
Flag a plate. Get alerted the moment it shows.
Onboarding

Onboard a whole fleet in one paste.

Drop a CSV or paste a plate column from your spreadsheet and every vehicle is authorized in a single step, across the sites you choose.

Access policy

Push one list to every site.

Build a list once (its own days, hours, and gates) then roll it out across the sites that need it in a single step.

Manual override

Lift the barrier from your desk.

An exception at the gate? One tap opens the barrier from the same screen you're already watching, with a confirm and a log entry.

Built for sites like yours
  • Logistics yards & distribution centers, hundreds of trucks daily, multiple shifts
  • Oilfield & energy sites, remote locations, harsh conditions, compliance requirements
  • Manufacturing facilities, contractor access, employee vehicles, shift schedules
  • Construction staging, temporary access lists that change weekly
Built to fit how you already operate

Built for operations teams, with IT and security review support.

Works with your gate

90+ gate and barrier brands, it installs on the gate you already have in about half a day. No rebuilds, minimal operational disruption.

Fits your stack

Connects to the software you already run, transport, warehouse, yard, and business systems. Built for operations teams, with IT and security review support.

Supported around the clock

Around-the-clock remote support and live status monitoring that flags a camera or gate problem before a truck is ever waiting.

Audit-ready & secure

Bank-grade encryption, sign-in with two-step verification and per-person permissions, and one-click reports and exports for audits across every site.

Connected

Book a load and the truck clears the gate, no re-typing the same details.

Approve drivers straight from your dispatch software (a TMS, your transport-management system) or a recurring spreadsheet you already keep, the driver is cleared the moment the load is booked. For anything else, GateGuardX connects to your other systems automatically.

A load is booked

In your TMS, or a recurring spreadsheet you already keep.

The driver is pre-authorized

GateGuardX adds the plate automatically, the moment the load is scheduled.

The gate opens on arrival

No booth, no call, no re-typing.

Works with Shiptify and recurring spreadsheets today, and any system via API & webhooks. Transporeon, Descartes and project44 coming soon.

Unscheduled arrivals

For unscheduled arrivals, Conversational AI (in beta) can screen the driver against your site rules.

Vendor trucks, owner-operators, and one-off pickups arrive unannounced every day. When a driver calls the number or scans the QR at the gate, the AI (in beta) checks the request against your rules and either approves, denies, or escalates to your team, and defaults shut when uncertain — no separate callbox needed. Try the interactive demo and hear how a driver intake actually sounds.

Questions operations teams ask
Does it work with our existing gate?
Yes. GateGuardX installs on the gate and barrier you already have (90+ brands) in about half a day. No rebuilds, minimal operational disruption.
Will it connect to our transport, warehouse, or access-control systems?
Yes. It connects to your transport, warehouse, yard, and business systems, so access and activity flow into the software your team already runs.
What if a camera or gate goes down mid-shift?
Live status monitoring flags it before a truck is waiting, and around-the-clock remote support handles diagnostics and coordinates the repair.
Can we manage multiple sites from one place?
Yes. Run access rules and activity across dozens or hundreds of sites from one dashboard, with bulk import, update, and removal across sites in minutes.
How do carriers, contractors, and deliveries get in?
Pre-issue a time-limited pass for a plate, set recurring access for regular carriers, and issue a single-use pass for the unexpected, no guard booth required.

A one-time hardware kit plus a monthly platform fee, sized to your gate and sites. Send a few photos for an exact quote within 48 hours.
