The Hidden Supply Chain Risks Lurking In Your Yard
Yard Management Solutions (YMS) is dedicated to creating safer, more efficient yard operations. Our advanced yard management software prioritizes the well-being of your employees and the protection of your assets and products by streamlining workflows, minimizing risks, and ensuring strict compliance with safety regulations. With YMS, your yard becomes a benchmark of operational excellence, enhancing performance and safeguarding your workforce, assets, and products in the global supply chain.
Preventing Accidents and Injuries
At Yard Management Solutions, supply chain safety is our top priority. YMS is engineered to go beyond standard warehouse safety tips and warehouse safety topics, minimizing risks and ensuring a safe working environment for all employees in the yard. Here’s how our solutions address critical aspects of personnel safety:
Real-time Trailer Location Visibility: YMS provides real-time visibility of trailer locations and statuses, eliminating the need for personnel to manually search for units. This feature enhances safety by ensuring drivers have precise directions to their destinations, reducing the risk of distraction while driving and preventing accidents caused by manual mistakes or early trailer departures.
Move Request Restrictions: YMS restricts move requests for trailers that are currently loading or unloading. This measure prevents miscommunication and ensures that trailers are not moved prematurely, thereby reducing the risk of early trailer departure.
Automated Safety Checks: Our system can be configured to require safety checks before any loading and unloading can occur. This ensures that all safety protocols are followed rigorously, reducing the risk of accidents by ensuring trailers are secure and dock equipment is properly engaged.
Communication with Live Drivers: Effective communication with live drivers is crucial for yard safety. Our system allows for seamless text message communication with drivers, instructing them to stay in their vehicles unless absolutely necessary, reducing unnecessary movement and potential safety risks.
Safety Accountability: In the event of an incident, YMS provides robust reporting for reviewing and analyzing what happened. This capability allows operations to identify the root cause of incidents, implement measures to prevent future occurrences, and coach individuals involved, promoting continuous improvement in safety protocols. Involved employees can then benefit from targeted safety programs, enhancing their skills and knowledge, and fostering a strong safety culture throughout the organization.
Dock Lock Integration: Integration with dock locks ensures trailers are securely locked before any loading and unloading is allowed, preventing premature trailer departures and trailer creep. Synchronizing the status of dock locks with our system ensures no trailer is moved unless it is safe to do so.
Ensuring the safety of personnel is not just about compliance; it’s about creating a work environment where employees feel valued and protected. By prioritizing safety, companies can improve employee morale, reduce turnover, and avoid costly workplace injuries. Implementing a robust yard management system like YMS is a proactive step towards achieving these goals.

YMS provides comprehensive tools and features to optimize inspection and maintenance processes, ensuring that all equipment is in top condition and that compliance with safety regulations is maintained.
Damaged Asset Restrictions: YMS restricts move requests for trailers that have substantial damage, ensuring that only safe and operable trailers are moved. This prevents accidents and further damage, maintaining the integrity and safety of yard operations.
Damaged Asset Visibility: With Eagle View, YMS provides comprehensive visibility of damaged assets in real-time, allowing for swift resolution. This feature ensures that damaged trailers are identified and addressed promptly, preventing operational delays and maintaining yard safety.
Preventative Maintenance and Inspection Scheduling: Preventative maintenance and asset inspections are essential for preventing unexpected breakdowns and ensuring smooth yard operations. YMS automates and optimizes maintenance scheduling by flagging trailers and equipment based on predefined customer criteria.
Driver Feedback: Feedback from drivers is essential for quickly identifying and addressing issues. Drivers can report damaged equipment directly through their in-cab devices, generating immediate alerts to maintenance and management teams and allowing for prompt attention and resolution, reducing downtime and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Ensuring that all equipment is properly maintained and compliant with safety regulations is essential for preventing accidents, reducing downtime, and maintaining operational efficiency.
