REAL-TIME YARD MANAGEMENT FOR SHIPPERS

Take control of your yard — in real time

Why Real-Time Yard Management? 

Real-Time Yard Management offers visibility into the yard and provides an overview of the whole system. Warehouse Managers, Loading Supervisors, and workers can all view the entire process instead of only seeing their own part. Potential delays can be identified earlier, helping improve total efficiency. Our holistic solution includes the functionality of a Transport Management System, Dock Scheduling (Time Slot Management), Yard Management, and Yard Automation — all boosted by Real-Time Transportation Visibility.

NEW PRODUCT UPDATE

Re-plan on the go

Our new Re-planning feature, now available to all Real-Time Yard Management users, enables Warehouse Managers or Loading Supervisors to react on short-term changes at the day of delivery or pickup. 

Short term changes — trucks arriving too early or too late, broken loading resources, or unusable resources — can have a big impact on overall yard efficiency. Now it’s possible to re-plan scheduled bookings to another time slot and/or location. 

The result? The reduction of costy wait times, inefficient use of personnel, poorly synchronized assets, and ineffective dock planning. 

Get started today and use real-time data to improve your yard efficiency and exception handling.
