You don't need gateways to start: staff phones do most of the reading. Add one where a stage should log itself or where nobody walks.

Questions
About gateways.
Do I need gateways?
Not to start. Staff phones do most of the reading. Gateways make gate, wash bay and workshop stages update on their own, and a gateway on a truck tracks what it carries.
How many gateways does a site need?
One for each spot where a stage should log itself, such as the gate or the wash bay. The configurator on the hardware page suggests a number for your site.
Who fits the gateway?
Your own team. A site gateway needs power and a pole or a wall. A vehicle gateway is wired to the truck.
