Yard Management System

• Process variety: It is harder to manage multiple yards in parallel due to the unique processes and functionality required by different carriers and fleets across sites, territories and countries. A lack of flexibility can limit a business’s capacity to adapt to new market conditions, creating barriers to expansion and development. 
• Regulatory demands: Imports and exports are highly regulated, with varying levels of stringency across different territories and countries. Regulatory compliance demands a certain level of transparency – without it, day-to-day operations can be heavily disrupted. 
• Lack of visibility: Regulatory compliance is not the only factor that depends on visibility to avoid yard operational disruption. Some carriers and fleets have distinct processes, and the need to transition between them can create issues if not carefully managed or automated. To drive operational flexibility, a high level of external process and inventory visibility is essential. 
• Limited ability to adapt: As yards grow more complex, it can be difficult to integrate complementary yard technology to improve operational efficiency. This can make it harder for evolving businesses to adapt to new requirements. 
• Inefficient yard operations: Complex yard operations can result in an inefficient use of resources. Consequently, ensuring the timely arrival of equipment and vehicles, and the associated dock and slot assignments, can become a major challenge.
