TrueTally — Port Operations

TrueTally is the digital tally clerk for port operators handling vehicle exports, bulk cargo, and break-bulk consignments. It replaces paper tally sheets and after-shift spreadsheets with a real-time, rugged-handheld workflow that operations managers can actually see while it happens. ▸ BUILT FOR THE PORT, NOT THE WAREHOUSE TrueTally is purpose-built for marine terminals, RoRo car carriers, dry-bulk shipping, project cargo, and inland container depots. Every field — VIN, manifest line, hold position, voyage number, weighbridge ticket — is shaped around how port operations actually run. ▸ WHAT YOUR OPERATORS DO ON SHIFT • Scan VIN barcodes, QR codes, and driver's-licence IDs with a rugged handheld or the device camera • Assign drivers to vehicles in one tap • Capture weighbridge gross and tare directly from the indicator — Toledo, Mettler, Avery, and Cardinal continuous protocols supported • Attach photos to any scan in the normal tally flow • Log incidents (damage, hold, refusal) with a category and photo • Hand over a shift with a one-page summary to the next operator ▸ WHAT YOUR MANAGERS SEE • Live ops dashboard: every scan, every weighbridge ticket, every photo as it happens • Voyage progress and remaining-cargo bars • Per-operator throughput and last-scan timestamps • Weighbridge-reading reconciliation against truck-registry tare • Movement-by-movement reconstruction with operator, site, and cargo context ▸ WORKS WITH YOUR HARDWARE Auto-detects and drives the rugged scanner on supported handhelds: • Chainway C66 and compatible Chainway rugged units • Zebra TC52 / TC57 / MC family • Honeywell CT series and CK series • Datalogic Memor and Skorpio handhelds No SIM-card devices, no consumer phones forced on operators. TrueTally meets the device your terminal already runs. ▸ BUILT FOR THE DOCK, NOT THE OFFICE • Offline-first: shift continues through dead-zones; scans queue locally and sync the moment connectivity returns • Battery-aware: tested across 8–12 hour shifts on rugged-handheld batteries • Loud, audible, vibration-confirmed scans — designed for noisy break-bulk holds • Photo capture works gloved, in low light, under crane gantries ▸ ENTERPRISE-GRADE BY DESIGN • Firebase Authentication with role-based access (operator / supervisor / manager) • Per-organisation Firestore security rules — operators only see their site's data • Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest • Argon2id-hashed supervisor PINs for witness captures • Full audit trail: who scanned, when, at which site, and on which device • Compliant with SA POPIA, GDPR, UK GDPR; data residency in EU (europe-west) ▸ HOW IT FITS WITH YOUR EXISTING SYSTEMS TrueTally syncs to a managed MongoDB archive for long-term reporting and integrates with your existing TOS, ERP, and customs-broker systems through a REST API. We have shipped integrations with NAVIS N4, RBS TOPS, and several in-house TOSes. ▸ GETTING STARTED TrueTally is sold business-to-business. Your terminal's operations manager negotiates a per-site licence with our team. Operators sign in with credentials provided by their employer — there is no self-signup from this app. For a 30-minute demo with your operations team, write to [email protected] or visit truetally.app.
