Aviro360 Unifies Yard Visibility Across Single Sites and Enterprise Networks

Published

By

New software experience gives logistics operators one place to access gate automation, inventory visibility, and security intelligence across one facility or hundreds.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aviro360, a leading provider of intelligent yard visibility solutions, today announced an expanded Yard Visibility System that brings gate automation, equipment inventory visibility, security intelligence, and AI-driven workflows together in one software environment. The updated system allows authorized users to access operational information across one or hundreds of their organization’s facilities through a single login.

Designed for organizations managing individual facilities and large logistics networks alike, the new experience gives authorized users a consistent way to access yard information across locations. Teams can move between facilities to review gate activity, inventory positions, security events, and operational exceptions without navigating separate site-level software environments.

Enterprise logistics systems often rely on data that is manually entered, delayed, or incomplete. When systems diverge from reality in the yard, operations slow down for manual verification. Aviro360 bridges this gap by turning real-world activity into reliable, continuously collected and verified data, strengthening existing YMS, TMS, WMS, ERP, terminal operating, and security platforms without replacing them.

“A company operating 200 yards shouldn’t need 200 separate software experiences to understand what’s happening across its network,” said Ilhan Kolko, President & Managing Director of Aviro360. “We’ve brought our capabilities together in one environment so teams can access the information they need, whether they’re managing a single facility or operations across an enterprise. And because Aviro360 integrates with existing systems of record, that intelligence can support the tools our customers already rely on.”

Aviro360’s Yard Visibility System combines computer vision, AI, and automated data collection to reduce manual work and improve operational performance. Across applicable deployments and workflows, its capabilities have demonstrated gate processing in under 15 seconds, automation of more than 95% of eligible gate events, and inventory accuracy exceeding 98%.

The expanded software connects visibility directly to action through key capabilities:

Unified multi-site access: A single software environment for accessing gate activity, inventory positions, security information, and equipment schedules across individual facilities or enterprise networks.Expanded exception management: Surfacing missing documentation, failed validations, asset discrepancies, and workflow breaks with actionable context.Natural-language operational queries: Enabling users to ask questions about yard activity and receive information and next-best-action recommendations grounded in operational data.Expanded APIs and integrations: Connecting operational intelligence with existing YMS, TMS, WMS, ERP, terminal operating, appointment, telematics, and security environments.Role-based dashboards and permissions: Providing access to relevant information for operations, yard crews, security, IT, and executives.

Built on experience processing more than 250,000 operational events daily, Aviro360 combines computer vision, AI, edge processing, and purpose-built hardware to capture and verify physical yard activity. This information is accessible within Aviro360 and can be shared with customers’ existing enterprise systems, helping keep operational records current and connected.

SpeedBuilder Systems Celebrates 25 Years of Building Technology and Lasting Relationships in the P&C Insurance Industry

Published

on

By

From its beginnings with a rating solution to an integrated insurance platform, SpeedBuilder Systems marks a quarter-century of helping insurers adapt, innovate, and grow.

COLUMBIA, S.C., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SpeedBuilder Systems, Inc. (SBS), an award-winning provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, is celebrating its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of delivering flexible insurance technology and building long-term relationships with its clients.

Founded on October 10, 2001, by Rod Giess, president of SpeedBuilder Systems, the company began with a vision and a rating solution designed to help insurers bring products to market more efficiently.

“When I started SpeedBuilder Systems, my goal wasn’t to be the biggest. It was simply to be the best at delivering quality technology that would help our clients get to market as quickly as possible,” said Giess. “I believed then, as I do today, that innovative insurance companies deserve access to sophisticated technology, regardless of their size.”

As the business developed, Giess recognized the need for a policy administration system to complement the company’s rating solution. What began as two complementary capabilities has grown into the BindExpress Suite, an integrated insurance platform supporting policy administration, rating, underwriting, billing, claims, and other core insurance operations. Designed for small to medium-sized property and casualty insurers and managing general agents (MGAs), the platform provides the flexibility to accommodate unique business requirements while supporting growth and changing market demands.

Throughout its history, SBS has maintained a consistent philosophy: technology should support an insurer’s business objectives rather than dictate how the organization operates. That approach is reflected in the company’s commitment to configurable software, long-term technology planning, and close collaboration with its clients.

“I’m very proud of how far this company has come, but what means the most to me are the relationships we’ve built along the way,” Giess continued. “Our clients have trusted us with an important part of their businesses, and we’ve never taken that responsibility lightly. I’m grateful to our clients for their continued partnership and to our team, past and present, whose dedication and hard work have brought us to this milestone.”

As SpeedBuilder Systems looks ahead, the company remains committed to helping insurers adapt to an evolving industry while maintaining greater control over their technology and business operations. The company will continue investing in its technology, strengthening client relationships, and supporting insurers as they pursue new opportunities.

About SpeedBuilder Systems

Founded in 2001, SpeedBuilder Systems, Inc. provides enterprise-class insurance software solutions for small and medium-sized property and casualty insurers and MGAs. Its BindExpress Suite® is an integrated set of components including policy administration, rating, automated underwriting, agent and consumer portals, product configuration, billing, claims, automated workflow, and document generation. The company’s AlwaysCurrent Architecture™ enables customers to tailor the system to their unique requirements while adopting future product enhancements without costly retrofitting of customized code.
