EAIGLE, an automation company focused on gate-to-dock logistics, has closed a growth funding round following 350% year-over-year revenue growth, CEO and founder Amir Hoss said in an interview with FreightWaves.

The company’s computer vision platform reduces gate dwell times that previously ranged from 7.5 to 18 minutes to under 30 seconds — and sometimes to under one minute — by using camera infrastructure facilities already have in place.

Hoss said the technology is designed to address long-standing inefficiencies in distribution operations, where gate congestion and limited yard visibility have been persistent problems for carriers, brokers and shippers. EAIGLE’s system automates the full check-in and check-out process, validates bills of lading, purchase orders, appointments and USDOT numbers in real time, and sends clean data directly into yard management, warehouse management and transportation management systems through APIs.

At one active facility where Hoss spoke — a site processing roughly 1,100 trucks per day across two gates and four lanes — EAIGLE replaced 18 full-time staff across three shifts with a fully unmanned, paperless operation.

“We didn’t validate here, we just log,” Hoss recalled a security guard telling him five or six years ago, describing a process that he said made downstream YMS data unreliable. “It becomes garbage in and garbage out,” he said.

“The bar is really high because you own that responsibility of initiating the high accuracy and complete data capture and validation for the rest of the systems in the supply chain ecosystem of each one of the operational customers.”

EAIGLE offers two products. Automated Vehicle Access Control, or AVAC, handles gate check-in and check-out using camera-based validation. YardSite uses cameras mounted on light poles, exterior walls and shunt trucks to continuously scan the yard and update the YMS in real time through API connections. In some high-pace manufacturing environments, such as automotive facilities, customers require updates every four minutes or less to maintain dock efficiency.

The platform also serves as a theft-deterrent layer. Hoss said EAIGLE stops an average of two to three cargo theft attempts per month at high-theft distribution centers by flagging mismatched or expired BOLs, BOLs issued for a different facility, and carriers with prior theft history visible through USDOT data. He pointed to rising empty-trailer theft as a growing concern, and said fake or outdated paperwork is the most common way unauthorized loads leave a yard.

Looking ahead, Hoss said the company has a product announcement coming within two weeks and is receiving requests for faster expansion across North America and internationally. Within months, he added, some EAIGLE customers will begin testing autonomous truck acceptance into fully automated yards — a step toward an operation where, in his words, “neither the truck nor the shunt truck nor the yard itself is operated” by humans, with people handling only exceptions and edge cases.

EAIGLE has deployed its autonomous gate and yard platform across facilities in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

The company’s AI platform cuts gate dwell from as much as 18 minutes to under 30 seconds using existing camera infrastructure, and it can replace up to 18 full-time gate staff per facility.

EAIGLE posted 350% year-over-year growth and closed a growth funding round, while international expansion and a product announcement are expected within two weeks.

Real-time validation of BOL, PO and USDOT data stops an average of two to three cargo theft attempts per month at high-theft distribution centers.
