Top 10 Yard Problems

Lack of Integration and Data

The Problem

An Island of Disconnected Systems

In today's connected world, a lack of integration between yard systems and the broader supply chain is a significant roadblock to efficiency. Without a single, unified data hub, your operations are fragmented, leading to poor decision-making and a constant struggle for a single source of truth. Here are five problems caused by a lack of integration and data in the yard:

Siloed Data

When yard data lives in spreadsheets and disparate systems, it’s isolated from other critical business units, such as the warehouse, transportation, and finance departments.

Delayed and Inaccurate Reporting

Manual data entry and a lack of real-time integration mean that reports are often outdated by the time they are generated, making it impossible to make agile, data-driven decisions.

Poor Decision-Making

Without a holistic view of the yard and its connection to the rest of the supply chain, leaders are forced to make decisions based on assumptions and incomplete information.

Redundant Data Entry

Teams are forced to manually re-enter the same information into multiple systems, wasting time, increasing the risk of errors, and creating frustration.

Inability to Scale

As a business grows, a lack of system integration makes it impossible to scale operations efficiently, as every new site or process adds another layer of complexity.
