Software Function
- ›Street-turn matcher (UIIA SIA rails): pair our import empty with our export load before terminal return Empty-return rules by SSL/terminal (restrictions change daily — scraped + crowdsourced) Empty-repo leg as the loop’s international close, auto-planned back to the port
Service Provider / Admin
- ›Ops approves street-turns; savings split logic (client / driver / us) configured once Return-restriction watchlist maintained network-wide
User — Driver / IOO
- ›Never drives to a terminal that won’t take the box — restrictions checked at dispatch Street-turns = paid miles without the terminal queue
Customer — Client / FF / NVOCC
- ›Export clients get boxes faster and cheaper via street-turns; savings shown on the invoice

Competitors
Blume/IANA SIA (the rails exist, barely productized), Trinium — nobody matches turns across an owned two-sided network
Differentiation
Street-turns need both an import and an export in one network — brokers don’t have both sides; we structurally do. The empty repo leg closes our loop either way.
Make It Better
Street-turn rate becomes a managed KPI. Every turned box saves two terminal trips — margin for us, hours for the driver, days for the exporter.
