Yard Management - Manufacturing

You know what just-in-time really means. It means no margin for error. Today’s retailers want product to come off the truck and onto the shelves. They want the products they ordered, when they ordered them – if not before. For manufacturers, it means that logistics both in terms of supply chain and delivery chain play an increasingly large role in the overall success of the organization. Here are some of the questions we hear manufacturers ask on a regular basis:

  • Can I improve my service levels and create more satisfied clients?
  • Am I wasting money in my yard?
  • Do I need to build a bigger yard to improve performance?
  • Where are my trailers? And what is in them?

And the answer is… Yard Smart, C3 Solutions’ Yard Management System

With margins squeezed by competition, savings of just a few pennies per unit can make the difference between a strong quarter and a devastating one. Using our Yard management system with built-in appointment scheduling, can help you streamline your yard, get materials and product in and out more quickly, and reduce the equipment and staff needed to operate your yard can all make an important contribution to your bottom line competitiveness. Yard Smart yard management software with appointment scheduling can help you optimize your yard usage, reduce cost, and provide benefits that extend far beyond the yard all the way to your relationship with the retailers.
