YMS: yard management overview

YMS manages the trucks and equipment going in and out of your yard — start here to find your way around.

YMS (Yard Management System) manages the vehicles and equipment going in and out of your yard: trucks arrive, check in at the gate, park on a spot or dock, get moved around the yard, and check out. This page is a map to the four how-to pages below.

The four how-to pages#

• Appointments — before a truck arrives, book a time window with carrier, driver and plate/trailer/container numbers (AP-000001).
• Entries (gate check-in/out) — at the gate, capture driver/equipment/seal/photos, print the Entry Ticket (ET-000001), and scan the same ticket on the way out.
• Equipment & spots — which trailers/containers are in the yard, which parking spots and docks are free or occupied, and the occupancy dashboard.
• Movement tasks — move equipment from one spot to another (MV-), done in two steps on the mobile app: pick, then drop.

A typical day, end to end#

1. A dispatcher books an appointment (AP-000001) for tomorrow morning’s delivery.
2. The truck arrives, checks in at the gate, and the driver gets an Entry Ticket (ET-000001).
3. The trailer sits on a spot; a movement task (MV-) later brings it to a dock for unloading.
4. When the work is done, the gate scans the same ticket and the truck leaves.

On the phone: the Tasks tab#

On the phone, the bottom tab named Tasks opens your yard work: the yard checks assigned to you and the movement tasks (yours, plus unassigned ones you can take). The filter row at the top shows how many of each kind you have — tap Yard checks or Movements to see only that kind, or All to see everything. A kind with nothing in it does not appear in the filter row.
