FAQ
Do I need special hardware at the gate?
No. A phone or tablet is enough to capture the unit number, seal, driver, condition notes, and photos at gate-in and gate-out.
What happens to the paper ticket process?
It's replaced. The gate guard fills in the same fields — unit, seal, driver, condition, timestamp — directly into a digital ticket instead of a paper form.
Can I attach photos to a gate ticket?
Yes. Photos taken at gate-in or gate-out attach to that ticket as proof, so condition disputes can be checked against the original record.
How does a gate ticket connect to billing?
The gate-in timestamp starts free-day and dwell-time tracking, and the gate-out timestamp closes it, so storage charges calculate from the same record instead of being rebuilt later.
