CLT’s OPUS Terminal M is a cloud-based, web-based Terminal Operating System (TOS) that leverages AWS Cloud to integrate independently operated terminal operations and external inventory management into a single, unified system.
Key Benefits
1. Cloud Infrastructure
CLT's OPUS Termianl M has extensive experience in building and managing terminal operations within a cloud environment. In Indonesia, five terminals across different islands are efficiently operated using a single AWS Cloud server. Currently, CLT successfully manages TOS at nine terminals, including those in Makassar, Ambon, Jakarta, West Java, and Belawan.
✅ Centralized AWS Cloud-based infrastructure eliminates the need for separate on-premise servers at each location.
✅ Provides high scalability, stability, easier maintenance, and lower operational costs.

2. Standard API & Interface Support
To ensure seamless integration with external systems such as third-party TOS and shipping company platforms, OPUS Terminal M offers multiple interface protocols, including RESTful, SOAP, MQ, and FTP.
✅ Smooth data integration with third-party TOS, and shipping company systems.
✅ Standardized API support (RESTful, SOAP) ensures scalability and future expansion.
Supported Protocols:
• RESTful (Representational State Transfer)
- Uses JSON-based messaging for efficient, high-speed data exchange.
- Follows HTTP standards, making it ideal for cloud environments.
• SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
- Ensures high reliability in distributed transaction management.
- Best suited for integrating with legacy systems.
• MQ (Message Queue)
- Handles asynchronous data transmission, optimizing system performance.
- Ensures message reliability, even during system failures or downtimes.
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
- Supports large file transfers efficiently.
- Allows for scheduled or automated data uploads/downloads.
• Staging DB & View
- Enables data processing, cleansing, and transformation without impacting the operational database.
3. Advanced Inventory Management
OPUS Terminal M provides a unified inventory management environment that integrates external inventory management systems, ensuring real-time visibility across multiple terminals. The system already supports file uploads, format conversions, and Private EDI data processing to enhance data integration.
✅ External inventory is integrated into the TOS for centralized inventory control.
✅ Supports various data formats and Private EDI conversion for seamless operations.
✅ Manages external inventory within a Virtual Terminal, applying the same management approach used for primary terminals.
