Frequently asked questions
Answers about our software, implementation, pricing, and support — for prospects and current customers.
FAQ
What does ATS actually do?
We build software for transloading operations — yard and container tracking, railcar inventory, mobile inspections, cleaning, dispatch, and reporting. One system instead of five spreadsheets and a clipboard.
Is this built for transloading, or is it generic logistics software?
Built for transloading. We've worked in this industry since 1997 — every workflow, screen, and report has been shaped by operators who actually run yards. Generic logistics tools force you to bend your operation around the software. We do the opposite
How long does it take to get up and running?
Most customers go live in 4 to 12 weeks. The range depends on your yard's complexity and how many integrations you need. We handle configuration, data migration, and training — you're not on your own during rollout.
Will it work with our TMS, ERP, and accounting systems?
Almost certainly yes. We integrate with the major TMS, ERP, accounting, and customer portal systems used by transloaders, plus custom integrations through APIs. If you've got something unusual, tell us — we've probably seen it.
How is it priced?
Subscription, scaled to your operation — number of yards, users, and modules. Implementation is quoted separately so you see exactly what you're paying for. No surprises after signing.
Can we see it before we commit?
Yes. We run a guided demo tailored to your operation — usually 30 to 45 minutes. We don't offer a generic free trial because the software is configured to your yard; a generic version wouldn't show you what you'd actually run
How long has ATS been around?
Since 1995. We took on our first transloading client in 1997 — they're still with us today. Three decades in one industry, by choice.
