Yard Management System for Planning, Execution & Visibility
One platform. One yard view. Complete operational control.
- YMS is an enterprise-grade Yard Management System built to digitize and control container yards, depots, rail yards, ICDs, and logistics terminals. It brings together yard planning, gate operations, container movements, inspections, equipment control, and analytics into a single web and mobile-driven platform that delivers real-time visibility and execution accuracy across the yard.
Why Enterprises Choose a Centralized Yard Management Platform
Yard operations don’t fail due to lack of manpower or equipment. They fail because planning, execution, and visibility operate in silos. Manual coordination, paper-based processes, and disconnected systems lead to misplaced containers, longer truck queues, equipment underuse, and limited operational insight.
Yard Management System solves these challenges by acting as a single digital control layer for the yard, coordinating people, equipment, containers, and vehicles in real time while integrating with upstream and downstream logistics systems.
Common challenges YMS eliminates
- Limited real-time visibility of container locations
- Congestion at yard gates and internal traffic bottlenecks
- Manual container grounding and pickup confirmations
- Inefficient equipment allocation and idle time
- High dwell time and poor truck turnaround metrics
- Fragmented inspection, repair, and reefer workflows
