API integration with carrier dispatch systems for automatic pre-authorization
Real-time gate status and queue monitoring for dispatchers
Dedicated express lane for pre-authorized carriers
Cloud-based backend for facility managers to manage access permissions

Target Users: Trucking facilities (warehouses, distribution centers) and fleets that frequent automated gate locations, especially Amazon facilities and mega-carriers.

Revenue Model: $99/month per facility subscription plus $5/month per vehicle registration fee
