A Yard Management System (YMS) is a software solution that helps companies manage and control the movement of trucks, trailers, and inventory within the yard or distribution center. It serves as an intermediary layer between warehouse management and transportation management systems, coordinating inbound and outbound logistics efficiently.By optimizing yard operations, a YMS reduces wait times, improves dock scheduling, and minimizes bottlenecks. This leads to smoother inventory flow, better utilization of dock space, and enhanced visibility of inventory as it moves from transportation to storage or shipping.
