Discover how marine and rail terminals can rethink KPIs and leverage multi-source data to move from reactive monitoring to strategic measurement.
Discover how an effective data strategy can benefit terminal operators by providing valuable insights and streamlining operations.
COVID-19 was one of the biggest crises the intermodal industry has faced in recent decades, but volume volatility is an ever-present concern.
Whether you’re a small terminal or a massive, multi-modal operation, knowing where your equipment is and what it’s doing at all times is the best way to find bottlenecks and realize efficiencies.
Intermodal terminals of all sizes are facing efficiency challenges that require data-driven solutions. We discuss those challenges and their solutions.
Anyone that’s dealt with large volumes of information before has seen it. The neverending Excel spreadsheet filled with data. Column after column and row after row, numbers, and labels divided into identical little boxes, stretching off into infinity. Or so it can feel when you’re tasked with turning all of…
Terminal operators spend the entirety of their day making decisions, big and small, that impact the productivity and efficiency of the terminal. How they arrive at those decisions is the most critical and potentially consequential aspect of their job. Every terminal operator has a unique experience and perspective. Everything they…
Mark Traynor joined Tideworks in 2026 as Chief Product & Technology Officer, bringing more than two decades of hands-on experience in building and deploying terminal technology and automation systems. In this role Mark will lead the company’s product management and engineering organizations and is responsible for the product roadmap and the modernization of the Tideworks platform.
Before Tideworks, Mark was Chief Technology Officer at Lynxis, whose Nascent gate automation systems deployed in nearly 100 marine and rail terminals across North and South America. For Lynxis, Mark led a globally distributed 70+ person engineering team that built a modern, configuration-driven platform on a single codebase while introducing a visual workflow configuration designed to streamline customer implementations. He also introduced cutting-edge computer vision and agentic AI solutions as well as the re-engineering of the hardware to run on readily available commercial components rather than bespoke systems sourced from specialist manufacturers.
For the 13 years before that, Mark was an independent technology partner to major North American automated marine terminal projects, including Virginia International Terminals and Long Beach Container Terminal. These operators relied on him to help lead their most complex terminal operating system implementations driving efficiency and reliability through their gate, rail, yard and vessel operations.
Mark began his career at Navis in 2004, delivering terminal operating system implementations across North America and Europe.
