MGTP and CONROO bring app-powered truck handling to North America

Montreal Gateway Terminals Partnership (MGTP), in collaboration with CONROO, today announced the launch of the first two terminal sites in North America fully powered by digital, smartphone-based truck handling. This milestone marks a major step forward in terminal efficiency, transforming truck processes from pre-arrival to gate operations and across the yard.

MGTP is pushing operations to the next level by introducing a fully app-powered truck journey. From pre-arrival vehicle booking to secure, contactless gate check- in and real-time yard navigation, the solution creates a seamless, end-to-end experience for drivers while enabling smarter, more efficient terminal operations.

With this step, MGTP is setting a new benchmark for innovation—closing the final gap in its digital ecosystem and building on its advanced Terminal Operating System (TOS), OCR, and PDS infrastructure to create a fully integrated, next- generation terminal environment.

The benefits are immediate and measurable. For MGTP, the system enables improved yard capacity planning, optimized resource utilization, and full transparency of truck movements throughout the terminal. For truck drivers, it significantly reduces waiting times and accelerates turnaround through a streamlined, mobile-first workflow.

A key advantage of the solution is its simplicity and scalability. Operating entirely via smartphone, it removes the need for gate kiosks, manual paperwork, and additional gate hardware. This allows for rapid implementation while providing a flexible foundation for expansion across further sites.

“This collaboration represents a decisive step toward the terminal of the future,” said Michael Fratianni, President and CEO of Montreal Gateway Terminals. “By digitizing the entire truck journey—from before arrival to gate processing and yard operations—we are unlocking a new level of efficiency, visibility, and collaboration.”

“From a technology perspective, this is the final piece in creating a truly connected terminal,” said Martin Tremblay, CIO of MGTP. “By integrating app-powered truck handling with our TOS, OCR, and PDS systems, we are moving beyond digitalization into a fully synchronized, intelligent operation.

“This partnership demonstrates how innovation transforms operations through real- time insights,” said Felix Paul Czerny, Co-Founder and CEO of CONROO. “By leveraging smartphones for precise truck location tracking and navigation in the yard, we provide terminals with unprecedented visibility and control over every truck movement.”

With the launch of the first two sites underway, MGTP and CONROO are paving the way for broader adoption across North America, with further locations to follow in the near future.
