Dynamic Yard® – YMS
Your yard is complex. It’s where all the parts of your supply chain converge into a single, bustling hub, creating coordination mayhem and inventory bottlenecks. With so much at stake, it’s time to take control and turn your yard into your competitive advantage.
Paper logs and spreadsheets can be inaccurate, outdated and tedious to manage. Dynamic Yard® creates a digital single source of truth that dynamically updates to reflect real-time conditions on the ground. Empower your dock, spotter and gate teams to coordinate seamlessly for maximum efficiency and revenue-generating potential.
With such an active yard, it’s hard to keep track of the actual arrival times of each trailer — especially if they’re running behind schedule. Integrated with real-time visibility, Dynamic Yard is the only yard management system that natively tracks the ETA of each trailer, as well as time on site, to help reprioritize crews and reduce detention costs.
User-specific applications take real-world data to serve up the next, most relevant task for each role. From resetting a dock due to a new ETA, to pulling a trailer exiting free detention time, or topping off a reefer unit running out of fuel — everybody knows what to do next.
An idle truck burns up to a gallon of diesel per hour in the yard, generating 22.4 lbs of carbon dioxide in your supply chain. Dynamic Yard improves throughput and load efficiency, helping you reduce dwell and carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 20%.
How often is the trailer you’re looking for not where the log says it is? With Dynamic Yard, yard trucks passively map each trailer to an interactive map, allowing spotters to find and retrieve a trailer within a matter of seconds, anywhere in the yard.
From dock resets to conflicting schedules, much of a dockworker’s day is spent resolving clerical errors instead of quickly and efficiently moving goods across the floor. Dynamic Yard integrates with your network to keep schedules accurate, and teams focused on the right tasks.
Digitally track not just drivers and their capacity, but any visitor to the yard. Keep track of each visitor and their time on site, improving dwell and log accuracy, while bolstering security. Dynamic Yard streamlines the check-in process, dramatically reducing gate queues.
Analyze your teams’ performance and identify bottlenecks while reducing capacity time on site, detention costs, workforce overtime, bottlenecks and more. With custom KPIs and reporting, drive efficiency and reduce costs across your teams with the platform that helps you expedite smart decision-making.
From dock workers to spotters, gate guards and more, using real-time supply chain visibility helps teams make proactive decisions in the field and on the fly.
Spreadsheets, paper logs and email threads can get tangled and hard to manage. Dynamic Yard unites your teams with one source of data to drive collaboration.
