“Moving goods efficiently and with discrete visibility through yards can be a challenge,” said Kiruba Raja, General Manager of Yard Solutions at project44. “Our innovative Yard Solutions enable shippers and logistics service providers to reduce time in overall gate management workflows, lower costs spent on yard equipment and optimize processes in the warehouse, such as load prioritization and dock door assignments.”

  • Enable self-service for the carrier arrival and departure processes
  • Improve operational efficiency within the facility by configuring tasks and automating the trailer load and unload process with loading dock management
  • Streamline yard operations by orchestrating tasks and collaboration of dock workers and drivers through spotter and live driver management
  • Enhance yard forecasting and planning processes using predictive ETAs with real-time updates on trailer status ensuring dock doors and facility personnel are fully utilized
  • Utilize enriched data to run reports and advanced analytics across single or multiple yards to understand how many appointments came per day, quantity of trailers arrived, drivers incurring wait times and more
