Frequently Asked Questions

A Terminal Operating System (TOS) controls the loading, unloading, and storage of various types of cargo in and around a terminal or port. A TOS also helps operators optimize their labor and equipment.

Some examples of terminal operations include:

  • Processing and staging passengers.
  • Receiving, moving, and storing cargo.
  • Loading and unloading cargo.
  • Transporting freight and passengers to their proper destinations.

Terminal management is the administration process of receiving, processing, and staging passengers. It’s also the loading, unloading, movement, and storage of freight and the manifesting and forwarding of freight and passengers to destinations. An example would be an airport terminal system, which is responsible for getting flight passengers and their bags from a starting point to their set destination, and the steps necessary in completing this process.

A terminal management system is the specific software designed to help administer the terminal management process.
