Dock & Yard Management
Real-time Yard Management for Retailers
Keep your yard plan aligned with reality
Connect planned arrivals with live ETAs and real-time yard activity. See every approaching, waiting and processing truck, respond to disruptions sooner, and coordinate gates, docks, labour and equipment from one shared operational view.
Late trucks, early arrivals, unavailable docks, equipment issues and changing warehouse readiness can make even the best schedule obsolete. Real-Time Yard Management connects Time Slot Management with live arrival and yard-status data, helping teams identify deviations early, adjust priorities and keep inbound and outbound freight moving.
Get a continuously updated view of approaching, waiting and processing trucks. Compare live ETAs with booked time slots and identify early, on-time and delayed arrivals before they disrupt warehouse operations.
Re-plan when trucks arrive earlier or later than expected. Reassign time slots, adjust priorities and coordinate docks, labour and equipment according to actual operating conditions—not an outdated schedule.
Enable mobile self-registration before arrival, so drivers can enter into the yards. Reduce gate queues and manual administration while capturing more complete data and required site confirmations up front.
Guide shunters with AI-driven work queues that identify and prioritize the next best move. Reduce unnecessary trailer movements, clear loading doors faster and improve throughput across the yard.
Give every team one reliable source of real-time information replacing spreadsheets, radio chatter and subjective decisions. With a shared operational picture, teams can prioritize the right actions and make faster, more consistent decisions.
One connected yard solution, four modular capabilities. Adopt what you need today and scale as your operation grows.
Built for every team that keeps the yard moving
For yard operators and loading supervisors deciding what should move, load or unload next.
For warehouse managers balancing dock capacity, labour and order readiness against actual arrival times.
For transport and logistics planners adapting appointments and resources as conditions change.
For logistics leaders reducing detention, turnaround time and capacity constraints across one or multiple sites.

Real-Time Yard Management (RTYM) is Transporeon's solution for shippers that provides complete visibility and control over every yard activity. It brings together Transport Management, Dock Scheduling (Time Slot Management), Yard Management and Yard Automation, all powered by real-time data to turn the yard from a chaotic bottleneck into a seamless, connected hub and let teams identify and act on delays early.
RTYM delivers up to an 85% reduction in waiting times. It also surfaces a hidden planning problem: around 70% of trucks that count as arriving "on-time" to their booked slot actually arrive extremely early real-time data lets teams see and manage this rather than react at the gate.
RTYM replaces pen-and-paper, spreadsheets and gut-feel prioritization with a complete, live overview of the yard every approaching, waiting and processing truck from road to bay. KPI dashboards aggregate utilization, on-site events and bottlenecks in real-time, giving warehouse managers, loading supervisors and staff a single accurate picture instead of operational blind spots.
Yard operations break down the moment reality diverges from the plan — late trucks, broken gates, sick staff, or damaged goods. RTYM integrates accurate, real-time ETAs into planning so teams can dynamically re-plan on the go. Dynamic slot reassignment flattens peaks and troughs when trucks run late or early, and carriers can be empowered to choose new slots based on their ETA — keeping capacity utilized evenly.
With Yard Pre-Check-In, drivers register digitally on their mobile device before arriving, so there are no long queues for driver registration at the gate. This enables immediate access to the yard, faster turnarounds, more accurate driver-provided data and significant cost savings.
Manual driver registration at reception is slow, error-prone and expensive, and it creates queues that back trucks up outside the yard. RTYM removes this bottleneck by letting drivers self-register through Yard Pre-Check-In before arrival and by integrating gate hardware such as licence plate scanners and RFID readers via API so entry is automated, registration costs drop and gate queues clear.
The solution comprises four modular capabilities: Arrival Monitor, Dynamic Re-plan, Yard Pre-Check-In and Advanced Trailer Orchestration. Organizations can start with the module that addresses their immediate operational challenge and expand over time.
Yes. Third-party yard hardware such as check-in terminals, pagers, licence plate scanners and RFID readers can be integrated via API. RTYM also unifies data from WMS, TMS, ERP and telematics systems into a single source of truth, and pairs with Trimble Places to guide drivers to the right gate using geofenced entry and exit points.
By replacing manual processes and outdated tools with automated, real-time monitoring, RTYM speeds up turnarounds and optimises resource allocation. Shorter dwell times mean lower detention and demurrage charges and better asset utilization, while data-driven decisions give a competitive edge.
It is built for shippers and retailers, particularly warehouse managers, loading supervisors and yard staff at medium-to-large manufacturers and distribution centres who want to extend planning efficiency into real-time yard execution and eliminate congestion, blind spots and reactive firefighting.
Yes. Real-Time Yard Management is modular, so you can adopt individual capabilities and expand the solution as your operational requirements evolve. Applicable prerequisites and integration requirements depend on the selected module.
Yes. Real-Time Yard Management can exchange transport, appointment, arrival, dock-readiness and order-preparation information with transport and warehouse systems. Available integrations depend on the existing system landscape and implementation scope.
Time Slot Management creates the appointment plan. Real-Time Yard Management connects that plan with live arrival and yard-execution data, helping teams adapt when trucks arrive early or late and coordinate what happens at the gate, dock and across the yard.
