Top Yard Challenges | Real‑Time Visibility Solutions for Logistics

Spotting the Needle in a Haystack

When a driver arrives to pick up a specific trailer, do you know exactly where it is? Without real-time visibility, finding the correct trailer can turn into a time-consuming scavenger hunt.

Increased Wait Times

With no clear view of trailer and driver locations, yard managers can't optimize traffic flow. This leads to bottlenecks, idle drivers, and frustratingly long wait times at the gate and throughout the yard.

Lost or Misplaced Trailers

It’s easier than you'd think for a trailer to get misplaced when you're relying on manual processes and outdated information. This can lead to costly delays and a lot of unnecessary stress.

Inefficient Yard Jockey Operations

Without real-time visibility, yard jockeys can't be directed to the most pressing tasks. They might spend valuable time searching for trailers or making unnecessary trips, leading to wasted time and fuel.

Safety and Compliance Risks

A lack of real-time data makes it difficult to monitor for safety hazards or ensure compliance with regulations. This can leave your operations vulnerable to accidents and fines.

The Solution

Terminal Yard Operating System (YOS) is a modern solution designed to give you
a clear, unobstructed view of your entire yard, in real time. It pulls back the curtain
on your operations, replacing guesswork with a single, accurate source of truth.
With Terminal, these common problems are no longer a concern.

Live Location Tracking

Terminal uses GPS and other technologies to give you a live map view of every asset in your yard—from trailers and containers to yard jockeys and drivers. You'll always know the precise location of your equipment, eliminating the guesswork and wasted time spent searching.

Dynamic Task Management

The system automatically assigns tasks to yard jockeys based on their location and the highest priority needs, ensuring the most efficient use of your team. This reduces idle time and keeps your operations running smoothly.

Real-Time Status Updates

Terminal provides instant updates on the status of every trailer and gate transaction. You'll know if a trailer is loaded, empty, in transit, or waiting at the gate, allowing you to proactively manage your inventory and schedule.

Seamless Communications

The platform facilitates direct, real-time communication between yard managers, gate security, and drivers, ensuring everyone is on the same page. This reduces miscommunication and helps resolve issues as they happen.

Data-Driven Insights

By collecting and analyzing real-time data, Terminal YOS provides powerful insights into your yard's performance. You can identify bottlenecks, track key performance indicators (KPIs), and make informed decisions to continuously improve efficiency and safety.
