Yard Management Solutions


Overview

Yard Management Solutions for Wholesale Distribution
Instantly track shipment contents, direct drivers to the next best dock, reduce idling and wait times, and improve turnaround times.

By installing Motorola technologies and partner applications, you can achieve peak efficiency by having visibility into everything associated with the trailers that arrive and depart the yard — from the type of freight they are hauling to the urgency of each load.

Features and Benefits

  • Improve your gate throughput and reduce errors by to checking inbound and outbound trailer loads at the gate.
  • Provide integrated in-cab office capabilities and instantly communicate with drivers.

Monitor yard vehicles and drivers for improved safety and cost savings

  • Improve driver safety records, minimize the potential for accidents and reduce insurance and liability by using real-time information about your yard worker activities and assets.
