Real-Time Visibility with Eagle Eye
Industry-leading visibility in a simple, easy to understand interface. Yard Management Solutions Eagle Eye displays a top-down realistic view of your yard and updates live to display current trailer locations, statuses, and ongoing movements. Combining at a glance yard-wide statistics, instant search, alert notifications, and drag and drop technology, Eagle Eye is a simple yet robust way to manage your yard.
Running your yard has never been so easy: Yard Management Solutions Eagle View removes the guesswork and puts every detail at your fingertips. Simply drag and drop trailers from spot to spot to create a move. The spotter receives the move request on their in-cab spotter module. As the spotter accepts, starts and completes their moves, Eagle View is updated showing the new status and location of the trailer.
Eagle Eye significantly increases the efficiency of your yard while reducing operating costs. It is updated instantly, providing unprecedented visibility and analytics on all assets, shipments, and workforce activities. It provides managers with the critical information they need to make informed decisions for yard operations. In addition to being a powerful tool at single-facility operations, Eagle Eye is scalable for enterprise-wide use.
Our yard management software keeps track of every trailer and asset that enters your yard, automatically notifying you of potential problems before they arise. As a part of Eagle Eye, the YMS Alert System sends time-critical notifications to appropriate personnel to safeguard against a variety of potential issues. Some examples include detention and demurrage charges, hot load emergencies, underutilized leased equipment, unproductive spotter time, late departures and arrivals, damaged trailers, and lost equipment. Alerts are customized to fit your operation and meet your organizational needs.

Our yard management software gives you total awareness, delivering instant access to live data across your entire enterprise.

Meet Time Contraints With The YMS Appointment Schedule
Yard Management Solutions' highly configurable appointment schedule makes it easy to plan ahead, as well as make changes on the fly when necessary. Increase throughput and decrease gate bottlenecks by controlling the number of inbound and outbound shipments per hour. If you already have a spreadsheet appointment schedule, you can easily upload it to the system. Once your schedule is set, make rapid adjustments by dragging and dropping appointments to new times.
Carriers can schedule their own appointment times online keeping you up to date and reducing conversation times. At a glance, you can see the day’s complete inbound / outbound schedules, load types, priority status, and arrival status. If there is a schedule change, simply click and drag appointment to another time slot. Upload your inbound schedule from your Transportation Management Software / Warehouse Management Software or enter directly onto the YMS form.
Gate Module
Our powerful new Automated Gate module removes the need for personnel at the gate. Shipment information is preloaded at the gate through the YMS Appointment Schedule. As drivers arrive and depart from the facility, they simply enter their appointment number into a kiosk. The Yard Management System will gather the needed information, assign a parking spot, open the gate, notify management, and update Eagle View with the arriving shipments parking location.
Another option for gate check-in/out is the Yard Management Solutions Gate Module. The gate module provides a simple-to-use interface that streamlines check-in / check out processes. Whether you utilize one or multiple gates, our yard management software’s easy data entry screens and preloaded arrival / departure information will cut drivers’ gate time in half.
Instant and Actionable Data with YMS Reports
The Dashboard contains live updated charts and graphs which display the most relevant information for your organization. Our team customizes the Dashboard to fit your needs, giving you visual reference points to track operations and KPIs throughout any given day. Track employee performance using tools like the Driver By Hour chart, which shows the number of spotters or shuttle moves each driver has made per hour. Quickly view the status of trailers in your yard including available empties, inbound trailers, and current dwell times. Keep track of how many trailers are approaching detention. The Dashboard provides at-a-glance information to assist with decision making, daily performance tracking, and increases communication across your organization.
Quick access to accurate, searchable, relevant data is at the heart of Yard Management Solutions Reports. Our 21 Standard Reports empowers your team with the information they need to make informed decisions and operational changes. The data found in these reports is automatically collected as your team conducts their daily tasks. Using this information, we populate customizable charts and graphs, making it easy to visualize and compare performance levels of your spotters, dock crew, and gate personnel.
Shuttle Management
Yard Management Solutions brings real-time visibility to your shuttle operation. Every action performed on the system is time-stamped and associated with a user, carrier, trailer, load details, and type of action. The results are instantly displayed for the end-user in KPI reports, KPI charts/graphs, alerts, visual markings and custom effects on Eagle View.
Spotter Communication
Eliminate task confusion with Yard Management Solutions, as spotters receive clear instructions on a mobile touch screen device. As spotters accept, start and complete each move your yard inventory is updated in real-time. Move requests can be sent to a specific spotter or a group of spotters.
Yard Check
Significantly reduce the time it takes to complete a physical yard check using the Yard Management Solutions Yard Check module. A live list of all assets in your yard is shown with simple “Mark Lost” and “Edit Condition” buttons beside each. Quickly change the location of a trailer with a few taps. All equipment adjustments are updated in real-time, and notifications are sent to management for any missing equipment.
