The Last Mile Starts in the Yard: Unlocking Velocity for CPG

Your yard is the first point of delay for your products. A modern Yard Operating System helps you accelerate throughput, optimize inbound raw materials, and ensure products get to market faster and more reliably.

The Problem

CPG Yards Are a Technology Black Hole That Slows You Down

In fast-moving CPG, your yard links manufacturing to shelves but often becomes a "tech black hole" — manual work and no visibility cause costly inbound/outbound delays, throwing off production, margins, and your ability to meet demand.

Inbound Raw Materials

Coordinating suppliers and just-in-time deliveries to keep production lines running.

Outbound Finished Goods

Handling high volumes of packaged products that must leave on precise schedules.

Diverse Yard Types

Manufacturing DCs, co-pack facilities, and regional distribution hubs, each with unique operational needs.

Quality and Brand Protection

Damage to trailers or product during yard handling can impact consumer safety and brand reputation.

The Solution

Your Command Center for Raw Materials and Finished Goods

Digitize, automate, and optimize every movement from gate to dock. Eliminate the chaos and guesswork, giving you full control over trailers, drivers, and capacity.

Optimized Manufacturing Flow

Coordinate inbound raw material deliveries with production schedules to prevent line stoppages—helping Production Managers and Operations Directors stay on target.

Increased Throughput

Maximize the number of trucks and trailers processed daily, enabling Distribution VPs and Yard Managers to handle high-volume operations efficiently.
