In order to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage in today's marketplace, transportation and logistics
companies must maximize operating efficiency at every stage in the supply chain. To this end, yard and distribution
center operations that today are predominantly driven by manual or paper-based systems present significant
opportunities for companies interested in improving their distribution efficiencies.
Proper yard management requires the ability to track the location and status of all vehicles and their associated
inventory throughout the yard – in real-time. Knowing why and how long a vehicle has been in the yard is key to avoiding
3rd party charges and applying proper fees. Loading operations can be significantly improved through the automated
tracking of trailer arrival and departure at the docks.
Automated Gate Check
Manual vehicle and driver check-in/check-out procedures are prone to errors and delays. During peak times, vehicles
may pass through the yard unaccounted for. An automated gate check solution can significantly increase accuracy and reduce labor costs and time to process.
Real-Time Inventory and Visiblity
Accurate and timely inventory is critical to optimal yard management operations. However, the dynamic and chaotic
nature of the business makes it very difficult to take accurate inventory manually. Taking physical inventory of a
large yard can be a painful process and data can become obsolete and useless immediately after it is taken. In
addition, having complete visibility to which vehicles are in the yard and how long they’ve been sitting is critical
to avoiding detention charges and applying demurrage fees.
Driver and Vehicle Matching
In large environments with multiple loading docks, trailers and drivers, delivery trucks can hitch with
the wrong trailer resulting in the wrong products being shipped. Drivers leaving with vehicles also need to be
properly accounted to ensure accurate delivery to customers and yard security.
