Ilhan Kolko of Aviro360 talks about yard blindness and how visibility & clearer decision-making shifts teams from reactive execution to predictable performance.

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

[02.31] An introduction to Ilhan and the career journey that led him to Aviro360.

[03.39] The industry challenges that led to the creation of Aviro360, and why they 'built what the industry needed.'

"It's a huge industry, and you have all these generations of technology within the yard and warehouse. But at the yard level, visibility is rare... And you can't manage what you can't see."

[05.13] The ideal client for Aviro360.

[05.59] Exactly what yard blindness means, and what Aviro360 research highlights around where and how it shows up.

"There's not a lack of software in the industry! But there's a lack of real-time input from the yard. You don't know where assets are, who checked in and out, how long it took to process – and you don't have control over the decisions being made."

[07.45] From congestion to safety, the big business impacts of yard blindness.

"To mitigate, operators either slow down, to not make mistakes – so the entire operations slow down – or they rush, and give up on safety and security."

[09.34] Why yard blindness is causing decision latency, and how that impacts throughput and reliability.

"It's all about data confidence. Decision latency is not only an inefficiency, but your service quality also goes down. Everything you offer to your customers, everything in your ecosystem – it's all impacted negatively. There's brand erosion that goes along with it."

"If you have 6,000 containers in the yard, we can capture the entire inventory in less than an hour, with 99% accuracy."

[13.45] Shifting visibility from passive to actionable to drive results, without manual labor.

"When you have reliable data, used in a proactive way, it helps us execute workflows perfectly."

[15.31] How Aviro360 solutions bridge the gap and work alongside existing systems to solve issues with legacy tech and siloes.

"We don't want to be a system of record – we want to be a system of reality."

[18.23] What integration and onboarding looks like with Aviro360.

[20.34] How better visibility and clearer decision-making helps teams move from reactive execution to predictable performance.

[21.47] How Aviro360 helps customers save more than $650,000 per year, per site.

"We've become part of our customers AI transformation story."

[24.26] 'This is real' – Ilhan's final takeaway from today's discussion.
