🚀 New Truck Yard Technology Platform 🚀 Today we’re announcing the rollout of our new technology platform designed to improve truck yard visibility and security. The platform enables fleets of all sizes to book long-term, monthly, and daily reservations at Outpost yards and get unprecedented visibility into their assets’ location and condition. Parking and positioning assets has traditionally been an inefficient and frustrating part of fleet operations. Finding yards requires research, calls, and emails to determine availability and rates. Choosing a yard is often a leap of faith, trusting in the operator’s claims of security and quality rather than verifiable information. Access control differs from yard to yard, creating check-in headaches and increasing turn times. Different billing and overage policies require a time-consuming patchwork of yard relationships. And without visibility into yard operations, fleets lack critical information about their assets' location and condition. Our platform addresses these challenges directly. It combines proprietary hardware, computer vision AI, video streaming, and analytics, enabling fleet managers, operations teams, and truck drivers to: 🚚 Book and manage parking reservations at Outpost yards with real-time inventory and consistent invoicing.  🔒 Improve equipment security with personalized access control and AI-based intrusion detection. 👀 Monitor equipment through our secure online portal with video feeds of entries and exits, and AI-based vehicle and damage identification. With today’s announcement, we’re accelerating deployment of the platform at our yards with plans to be live at all properties by the end of summer. Thank you to our product and engineering teams for your hard work and to our operations team for helping drive implementation and testing. Special thanks to our customers for your partnership in the design and development process—we look forward to learning and evolving the platform together in the months ahead.

✨ Series A Funding and a New Company Name ✨ Today marks an exciting new chapter for the company formerly known as Semi-Stow: 🔹 We’ve raised $12.5 million in Series A funding, led by GreenPoint Partners, to accelerate our work in addressing America’s truck parking shortage. 🔹 We’re rebranding to Outpost, a name that reflects our growing network of strategic locations where trucking companies of all sizes can securely store their assets and expand their geographic footprint. Truck parking is essential infrastructure for the US supply chain, not unlike roads and bridges. Yet today this critical infrastructure is in short supply, with just 1 legal parking space for every 11 semi-trucks on the road. This forces truck drivers to park in unauthorized locations such as highway on- and off-ramps, putting them in unsafe situations and increasing the risk of accidents with other motorists. Even for large fleets, accessing this critical resource is expensive and inefficient. Buying land and building yards involves high capex, operational burden, and long-term contracts. Renting space at existing yards requires a patchwork of landlord relationships and runs the risk of inconsistent quality and driver experience. Free yards are scarce and often lack modern security. Outpost is improving access to truck parking for fleets of all sizes and enabling trucking companies to use this real estate as a flexible asset that shifts with freight demand. With our Series A funding, we’ll accelerate the growth of our network and the development of our technology platform. Join us on our journey by following our page and stay tuned for more updates as we open new locations and roll out new capabilities. Thank you to every member of our team for all your hustle and for making the hard work fun. Thank you to our customers for trusting us with the safety of your drivers and the security of your trucks and cargo. And thank you to our investors for your belief in our vision and your ongoing support. We’re just getting started. https://lnkd.in/ge7F9Mif
