Yard Management

Best Practices in Yard Management

The process show how Yard Management can help a company track the movement of trailers and provide inventory visibility with the receiving/shipping yard. A yard can be a physically enclosed area outside the warehouse where trucks and vehicles are processed, stored or available for pick up by an external carrier. The yard my also be virtual where trucks and vehicles are only visible for planning. In this scenario we will show a vehicle being checked into the yard, moved within the yard, scheduled to a dock, loaded with an outbound delivery, and checked out of the yard. These processes will be accomplished using a combination of the new Yard Management transacation, the Yard Monitor and Mobile Yard transactions.

Below is the process Overview of the Yard management.
