ADVANCED YARD MANAGEMENT™
Yard Hound™: Advanced Yard Management System
Yard management is a critical linkage in logistics management practices, and has a significant impact on the overall efficiency of the supply chain. PINC Solutions' RTLS Advanced Yard Management platform, Yard Hound™, was developed exclusively for yard management and visibility. Yard Hound is a web-based application that allows managers to access, manage, and share yard activity and trailer information on demand. Essential information including parked trailer positions, yard truck locations, gate activities, and reports is presented in real-time through Yard Hound's easy-to-use graphical user interface. Yard Hound improves productivity and reduces operational costs, typically achieving a positive payback in less than 9 months.
Yard Hound helps companies looking for improvements in the following areas:
- Resource planning – make decisions on capacity, labor and equipment requirements and yard zoning
- Task scheduling – schedule dock appointment management for inbound and outbound shipments, and trailer move optimization based on custom criteria
- Yard process execution – check in/out trailers and tractors, and park trailers at staging areas or move to dock doors for loading/unloading
- Event monitoring – Monitor events for security control and generating alert and notifications
- Asset tracking and management – keep track of asset inventory, movements, and history
- Performance management – access analytics on equipment and facility utilization, labor productivity, and resource time
