Unlock the Full Potential of
Your Yard Operations

A well-managed Yard Management System (YMS) is essential for minimizing yard delays, improving dock scheduling, and ensuring smooth coordination between warehouses, distribution centers, and inbound or outbound transportation. With Zyllem's cloud-based YMS technology, businesses can implement yard automation, enhance real-time tracking, and streamline yard efficiency for faster, more effective logistics.

Enhance Operational Efficiency

By automating processes such as truck scheduling and bay assignments, a Yard Management System (YMS) reduces manual errors and streamlines yard activities, leading to improved workflow and productivity.

Reduced Truck Waiting Times

Advanced truck queueing allows for pre-booking of loading and unloading slots, minimizing idle times , reducing uncertainty, and ensuring a smoother flow of vehicles within the yard.

Improved Real-Time Visibility

A Yard Management System (YMS) provides logistics managers with up-to-date information on trailer locations and dock door statuses, enabling proactive management and the anticipation of potential bottlenecks.

Cost Savings

Efficient yard management leads to reduced demurrage charges, lower labor costs due to decreased overtime, and savings on fuel as a result of minimized truck idling.

Optimized Dock Utilization

Implementing a Yard Management System (YMS) ensures effective scheduling and utilization of dock doors, reducing congestion in loading and unloading zones and facilitating a seamless flow of goods in and out of the warehouse.

Stronger Compliance and Security

Ensure regulatory compliance and enhanced security with automated check-ins, digital documentation, and real-time monitoring of yard activities. Reduce unauthorized access, improve safety protocols, and maintain accurate audit trails for better accountability.

Smarter Yards. Faster Logistics.

With real-time tracking and yard automation, Zyllem's cloud-based YMS can eliminate inefficiencies, streamlining yard operations. Whether handling high-volume truck traffic or coordinating warehouse activities, our solution ensures faster, smarter logistics operations.

Configuring Yard Access Rights and Roles for Full Visibility

To ensure secure and structured access control, administrators can assign user permissions based on specific yard locations and roles. By defining roles such as Reservation Manager, Reservation Coordinator, Yard Manager, Guard, or Bay Manager, businesses can ensure that each user has the appropriate level of access and responsibility. The Reservation Manager or Coordinator can book the appointments, the Guard can manage the in-and-out movements of assets in the yard, and the Bay Manager is responsible for operating the bays efficiently. Multiple roles can be assigned to a single user, offering flexibility while maintaining strict security measures. This setup improves compliance, prevents unauthorized access, and ensures a more organized and accountable workflow.

Digital Yard Mapping and Location Tracking

Digitizing yard locations allows for complete control over yard operations by providing real-time visibility of distribution centers (DCs), bays, parking areas, and loading docks. Businesses can configure and manage their yards while defining capacity limits to prevent congestion and bottlenecks. A well-structured yard setup ensures efficient truck queueing and seamless yard flow, reducing unnecessary wait times and improving overall operational efficiency.

Optimized Truck Queuing, Bay Scheduling, and Reservation Management

A dynamic yard scheduling system eliminates manual inefficiencies by providing a clear, organized view of reservations. Instead of just showing available slots, the system displays taken, unavailable, and scheduled time slots to give users a complete picture of yard capacity. Logistics teams can schedule truck arrivals, reassign bays, and adjust time slots directly from an interactive calendar, allowing for better yard coordination. Intelligent scheduling reduces bottlenecks, optimizes dock utilization, and ensures efficient truck turnaround times.

Seamless Yard Activity Execution and Recording

With real-time execution and activity tracking, businesses can gain full visibility over all yard operations. Every vehicle movement, check-in, inspection, parking, and bay assignment is logged, ensuring accountability and efficiency. Assigned personnel can execute and track each step, with digital checklists streamlining preliminary inspections before entry. Captured artifacts such as photos taken by guards serve as proof of vehicle condition, enhancing security and compliance. The system allows businesses to manage yard activities in real-time, reducing inefficiencies and ensuring smooth operations across all facilities.

Live Notifications for Improved Communication and Coordination

To keep all stakeholders informed, the system enables live notifications via email, SMS, dashboard, and broadcast alerts. These real-time updates ensure that drivers, warehouse staff, and yard managers receive timely notifications regarding truck arrivals, delays, and schedule changes. By minimizing miscommunication and delays, the system enhances operational efficiency and improves coordination between different teams.
