CargoWise’s Yard Management System (YMS) is a specialized solution that manages, monitors, and optimizes the flow of trucks, containers, and trailers through freight yards. This technology is vital for logistics operations because it gives real-time visibility into yard activity, ensuring that each truck and container is properly identified, planned, and managed. It allows for smoother gate-in/gate-out operations, lowers congestion, and minimizes manual errors, which can lead to delays and inefficiency.
CargoWise’s YMS capability allows logistics companies to automate yard check-ins, assign dock doors, and prioritize loading and unloading duties depending on cargo urgency. The system interfaces with warehouse and transportation management modules to provide a comprehensive view of goods movement. By tracking every asset’s movement and status, YMS increases turnaround times, yard throughput, and communication among yard personnel, warehouse teams, and carriers. Over time, this leads to cost savings, better productivity, and more precise performance reporting.
