# What's the highest-rated terminal operating system (TOS) for cargo throughput efficiency?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Looking into the ratings on <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/terminal-operating-systems-tos">terminal operating systems</a>, specifically for the throughput efficiency angle, since this is a niche enough category on G2 that the picture comes down to just a couple of real contenders rather than a long shortlist.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/navis-terminal-operating-system"><strong>Navis Terminal Operating System</strong></a> (4.5 stars, 19 reviews) is the clear category leader, and the throughput numbers in its reviews back that up directly. Terminals running it report increased productivity, faster gate transactions, better yard space optimization, and improved vessel turnaround time, all attributed to managing vessel planning, yard operations, and container tracking through a single platform instead of juggling separate systems. Its Master Terminal edition specifically gets credit for handling bulk commodity operations efficiently across voyage, yard, and gate functions in one place.</li>

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/container-terminal-operating-system"><strong>Container Terminal Operating System</strong></a> (4.5 stars, 5 reviews), built by CyberLogitec as OPUS Terminal, earns similar praise for real-time monitoring and a mobile app that tracks operations directly on the ground, plus a standardized operational process credited with reducing double handling of administrative tasks.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Both platforms lean heavily on the same underlying idea: throughput gains come from having one continuous view across vessel, yard, and gate rather than reconciling data between separate systems for each.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For anyone who has actually measured turnaround time before and after implementing one of these, how large was the improvement in practice? And has the throughput gain held up consistently, or did it dip during the transition period while staff were still learning the system?</p>
