Real-time yard management for shippers
Take control of your yard in real time
Gain greater visibility and control with Trimble’s Real-Time Yard Management. Bring transport management, dock scheduling, yard management and automation together in one integrated solution – all powered by real-time data.
Connect like never before
Transform your yard into a real-time connected hub. Seamlessly manage the arrival and departure of traffic in your yard, even for missed time slots, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
Re-plan on the go
Integrate real-time data into your planning and execution processes, enabling dynamic replanning based on accurate ETAs. Empower your carriers to choose new slots based on their ETA.
Optimize operations, maximize efficiency
Enable quick check-ins, status updates and optimal resource allocation for faster turnaround times. Equip your warehouse managers with data-driven optimization to streamline truck and freight flow.
Automation for superior performance
Use real-time data to reduce waiting times and demurrage costs and improve asset utilization. Replace manual processes and outdated tools with an automated system to monitor your day-to-day yard performance.
Enable carriers with mobile pre-registration before arrival
Let carriers pre check-in from their mobile and drive straight into the yard on arrival. With accurate data provided directly by drivers and real-time updates, teams can coordinate arrivals more effectively, reduce delays and speed up turnaround times – creating a smoother yard operation while helping to cut costs.
Move trailers with clear priorities
Advanced Trailer Orchestration (ATO) guides yard spotters with AI-driven work queues that identify and prioritize the next best move. Reduce unnecessary trailer movements, clear loading doors faster and improve throughput across the yard – keeping yard execution coordinated and efficient.

Primary features
Full visibility
Gain instant insight into all trucks, trailers, and cargo arriving to and/or currently on the yard. All departments can monitor and update statuses in real-time, ensuring seamless, synchronized operations and increased freight theft protection.
Dynamic slot reassignment
Enable dynamic replanning for trucks arriving late or early to ensure that capacities are utilized equally and strong peaks and troughs are flattened.
Full yard monitoring
Track the movement and precise location of all assets across the yard in real-time, including dock door status and trailer pools. This monitoring provides operational managers with the data needed to proactively manage congestion, optimize processes and eliminate costly delays.
Proactive updates and notifications
Automate alerts for high-priority events, such as excessive yard dwell time, unexpected unit departures, and late arrivals at the gate or dock. These proactive notifications enable immediate action to resolve issues, ensuring smooth flow and maximizing operational efficiency.
Documentation and reporting
Achieve complete documentation transparency and compliance including registrations, security instructions, status changes and more. All critical data is revision-proof, providing an immutable audit trail and enabling robust, in-depth reporting.
Event management
With insight into critical yard events, exceptions and unexpected delays, managers can quickly address issues as they arise. This functionality ensures no unexpected activity is overlooked, and actionable events are assigned to each truck to help maintain schedule adherence and service levels.
Load visibility
Track the precise status of inbound and outbound freight and access information on each truck’s content for its loading and unloading requirements. Ensuring complete transparency into shipment readiness to reduce confusion and accelerate freight movement.
