Logistics System for Terminál Mošnov
Case study: How we turned Mošnov's complex logistics processes into a simple application
Terminál Mošnov a.s. operates the largest container transshipment terminal in the Czech Republic. The terminal sits next to a multimodal logistics center right by Leoš Janáček Airport Ostrava in the Mošnov industrial zone, with direct links to the highway and rail networks.
The challenge
The client's goal was to create an optimal system for terminal logistics that would set up internal processes and enable communication with external suppliers.
Our solution – the Yardo web application
Yardo is a comprehensive system for managing and optimizing terminal operations. It handles the registration and validation of containers and trailers, as well as quality and damage tracking, including photo documentation. To make everything work exactly as the client required, the existing web application needed to be customized. The result is more efficient internal processes, faster container handling, fewer errors compared with paper documentation and simpler work for Mošnov's staff.
Key features include process automation, including fully unattended container acceptance at the terminal using license plate recognition and container number (ILU code) recognition. The system supports advanced integrations with external partners such as shipping lines (e.g. MSC) and transport companies. It also offers a clear interface for operators and drivers. On top of that, the application provides easy access to real-time data and one-click export of large data volumes.
We chose a cloud solution for data storage, which keeps it secure without the need to buy additional hardware.
When Marek from DevCors approached me with an offer to implement their software at our intermodal terminal in Mošnov, it wasn't an easy decision at first. But the team quickly got to work, and I knew Yardo was the right choice. What I value most is their professional approach and the maximum effort they put into the work in the early stages of development, along with open communication and a mutual understanding of some demanding requirements. Thanks to their great work, we went live two months ahead of the original schedule.
Key features of the web application

- Access from any workstation and for any number of users.
- Faster handling of cargo containers and vehicles.
What technologies did we use?
The system is built on modern Java Spring Boot technology with a React user interface. It is deployed in two environments – test and production – with monitoring and automatic failure recovery in place.
