Product support comparison
Recorded product facts are shown separately from buyer-specific recommendation scores. “Not yet verified” means evidence is incomplete; it does not mean the product lacks the capability.
| Product | Status | Confidence | Implementation | Evidence | Limitations / notes | Last verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
NN Navis N4 TOS Kaleris | Supported | 98% | Not recorded | 1 source | N4 Control Room visualizes where containers, cranes and trucks are in the yard, providing equipment/location visibility for operational control. | Sep 19, 2026 |
RT RBS TOPS Expert Realtime Business Solutions | Partially Supported | 98% | Not recorded | 1 source | TOPS Expert documents SmartTrack, DGPS and gate position detection; DGPS and related tracking components are named modules and should not be assumed in every base deployment. | Sep 19, 2026 |
CT CARGOES TOS+ (Zodiac) DP World | Partially Supported | 97% | Not recorded | 1 source | RTLS is a named TOS+ component integrated with the TOS; exact positioning technologies and entitlement depend on implementation. | Sep 19, 2026 |
TM Tideworks Mainsail Tideworks Technology | Partially Supported | 97% | Not recorded | 1 source | Traffic Control supports optional DGPS and standardized position-detection integrations, but equipment-position tracking belongs to the companion execution stack and may require external positioning technology. | Sep 19, 2026 |
TS Total Soft Bank CATOS Total Soft Bank | Partially Supported | 97% | Not recorded | 1 source | CATOS documents GPS and autonomous-infrastructure integrations and equipment supervisor functions, but exact positioning technology and entitlement depend on the implementation. | Sep 19, 2026 |
CO CyberLogitec OPUS Terminal CyberLogitec | Partially Supported | 96% | Not recorded | 1 source | Real-time container and vehicle location tracking is documented in the DGT implementation, but that deployment also uses TLC and the separate OPUS DigiPort IoT/data platform; native OPUS Terminal-only scope is not assumed. | Sep 19, 2026 |

How to use this comparison
Support status
Supported, conditional, unknown and not-supported states are kept distinct so missing evidence is not treated as a negative fact.
Confidence
Confidence reflects the strength of the recorded evidence for this capability, not overall product quality.
Fit for your company
A product can strongly support this capability and still be a poor overall fit due to deployment, integrations, security, region, budget or other must-haves.
Independent software advice
Need Equipment position tracking in your next system?
TechSelectAI can evaluate this capability together with your other must-haves, integrations, deployment constraints, security requirements, region and budget.
