Yard movement coordinated with receiving and order fulfillment.

The potential of yard management to improve inventory visibility, lower yard costs, and increase security may not be immediately obvious. But the ability to coordinate yard movement with receiving and order fulfillment processes is essential to modern warehouse management.

Yard Management helps improve visibility and automates the hand-off of goods between warehouse dock personnel and yard jockeys by maximizing the efficiency of both groups. It enables you to take control of trucks and trailers in the yard by managing trailer inventory and yard personnel through better tracking and visibility, improved appointment scheduling, and directed yard management processes.

Yard Management helps companies like yours:

Gain visibility into trailer inventory
Increase productivity
Improve control and security
Improve dock door scheduling
Reduce trailer costs and detention charges

With Yard Management, you get visibility into inventory sitting in trailers and are better able to manage, schedule, and record the arrival, placement, location, and status of trailers, trucks, containers, and their content. Intelligent, system-directed task management lets warehouse personnel know what trailers need to be moved, their location in the yard, their destination location, and which yard jockeys are available to do the job. Work tasks can be matched with available trailers, and inventory can be replenished correctly using FIFO methodology.
