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.
That’s the gate you have today. The rest of this page is the system that ends it — on that same gate.
Measured across our production deployments since 2023, not an independent benchmark.
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.
Times are in Chicago (CDT) (GMT-05:00). Maximum validity is 30 days.
One dashboard rolls up every crossing across your yards, authorized, unauthorized, and guest, by direction and by hour.
A live log of every vehicle across all your yards, newest first, plate, direction, site, and the gate's decision, the moment it happens.
Everything below is the actual product, the same screens an operations team uses every day, shown full size.
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.
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.
Keep a watchlist of vehicles of interest (banned, watch-for, or trespassing) and the system raises an alert the instant one approaches any gate.
Drop a CSV or paste a plate column from your spreadsheet and every vehicle is authorized in a single step.
Paste plates directly or import them from a CSV file.
Copy the plate column from your spreadsheet and paste above

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.
Are you sure you want to open the gate?
90+ gate and barrier brands, it installs on the gate you already have in about half a day. No rebuilds, minimal operational disruption.
Connects to the software you already run: a ready-made Shiptify connector, recurring spreadsheet imports, or the REST API and signed webhooks for anything else.
Around-the-clock remote support and live status monitoring that flags a camera or gate problem before a truck is ever waiting.
Encryption in transit and at rest, per-person permissions, and one-click reports and exports for audits across every site.
Approve drivers straight from your dispatch software (Shiptify today, more connectors in progress) or the recurring spreadsheet you already keep. The plate is authorized the moment the load is booked, and the gate opens on arrival, no booth, no re-typing.
In Shiptify, or a recurring spreadsheet you already keep.
GateGuardX adds the plate automatically, the moment the load is scheduled.
No booth, no call, no re-typing.
Works with Shiptify and recurring spreadsheets today, and any system via API & webhooks.
Vendor trucks, owner-operators, and one-off pickups arrive every day. The driver scans the QR at the gate and checks in on their own phone, in their language, with a booking or reference number. A booked truck needs no check-in at all: its plate is on the list before it arrives. Optional: the AI assistant (in beta) talks the driver through it and passes anything unresolved to your team. Your existing intercom and remotes keep working as the fallback. Try the demo and hear how it sounds.
Send a few photos of your gate. We confirm fit and return an exact quote, usually within 2 business days.
A kit pre-configured for your gate and lanes, no rebuilds, no construction.
Running on your existing gate in about half a day. Not working out in 30 days? We remove it and refund you. Working? Roll it out to the other yards.
Every installation is backed by around-the-clock remote support and live monitoring to keep it running.
A one-time hardware kit, installation, and a monthly platform fee. Send a few photos of your gate and we'll confirm compatibility with a quote, usually within 2 business days.
