Download our free paper to learn more about collaborative yard management, automation technologies and capabilities to extend your visibility over your network and reduce detention and demurrage costs.
Read on to discover how a YMS with real-time communication, integration of automation technologies, and more can dramatically help to reduce detention and demurrage costs and improve visibility over your supplier network.
In this paper, we explore how recent uncertainties have disrupted supply chains and offer strategies to protect your business from these challenges. By streamlining operations, reducing costs, and boosting overall performance, an advanced Yard Management Solution (YMS) can be a key driver of success.
A Collaborative Yard Management Solution leverages state-of-the-art technologies, such as real-time tracking, ANPR systems, driver self-registration kiosks, integrated weighing, and advanced analytics. By incorporating AI capabilities, it offers a comprehensive, integrated approach that connects all stakeholders on a unified platform, enabling them to contribute real-time, high-quality data and collaborate seamlessly.
62% of companies declare to have limited visibility of their supply chain, and 15% only have visibility on production.
It's time to overcome plant barriers by adopting a collaborative Yard Management Solution.
A YMS optimizes yard resource allocation— including trailers, containers, and personnel— by intelligently prioritizing tasks based on predefined rules. This reduces delays, minimizes detention and lead times, and enhances overall productivity.
A Yard Management System with a Dock Scheduling module enables real-time, transparent communication among stakeholders, reducing disruptions and enhancing agility through mobile, SMS, and email notifications.
Collaboration tools provide a holistic view of the supply chain, enabling stakeholders to look beyond individual processes and make proactive decisions, ensuring disruptions are managed collectively to maintain overall efficiency.
A Yard Management System makes operations more sustainable by reducing CO2 emissions and paper consumption.
Efficiency through Automation
A YMS can help enable the automation of key processes like driver registration, check-in/check-out, and weighing, reducing labor costs and streamlining operations.
