What is SolonPort TOS? SolonPort TOS is a Terminal Operating System (TOS) developed by SolonPort, with a European office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and an engineering center in Istanbul, Turkey. This international presence allows SolonPort to serve ports and terminals worldwide with local responsiveness, regional expertise, and round-the-clock support across time zones. With 30+ years of software development and project management experience in the port industry, SolonPort has become a trusted name in port automation. The company has successfully implemented and managed systems for nearly 20 national and international ports, serving terminals that handle a wide range of cargo types, including general and bulk cargo, liquid cargo, containers, and Ro-Ro operations. The platform is built on a modular architecture, covering the full scope of terminal operations: vessel planning, dock and yard management, gate operations, weighbridge, customs processing, and warehouse management. This modularity allows terminals of any size or region to adopt only the modules they need and scale as their operations grow. SolonPort also offers unmanned, fully automated solutions such as an Automatic Gate System and an Automatic Weighbridge System, reducing manual intervention and increasing operational accuracy. The company has pioneered forward-looking initiatives in the sector, including a Digital Twin project, 3D Smart Yard Management, and a 3D Port Management Mobile App, bringing real-time visualization and simulation capabilities to terminal operations. Deployment options are flexible: terminals can choose fully automatic, hybrid, semi-automatic, or semi-manual configurations depending on their operational needs and existing infrastructure. From its Amsterdam office on Keizersgracht, in the heart of the city's historic canal district, SolonPort maintains close proximity to European markets and global shipping networks. The Istanbul engineering center, located within Istanbul University's Avcılar Campus technology park (Teknokent), keeps the company's product development closely connected to a strong academic and R&D ecosystem in maritime technology. SolonPort's core philosophy remains centered around the customer: rather than offering a rigid, one-size-fits-all product, the team works closely with each port to identify specific requirements through field studies, then configures the modular system accordingly — ensuring the software fits the terminal's real workflow instead of forcing the terminal to adapt to the software.
