The yard control tower

Having the ability, at the click of a mouse, to know where trailers and tractors are parked, how many empty trailers are available or missing for shipping, who came in and out of the gate, what your yard drivers are up to and if you are behind or on schedule is simply priceless.

Exception alerts

Be informed

Beyond having visibility on yard inventory and activities, how will you be made aware of issues as they arise?

TESTIMONIALS

“C3 Yard has optimized not only yard service performance but also Warehouse Shipping, Warehouse Receiving, Security, Procurement, and inventory control. This YMS provides previously unavailable insights, enabling positive impacts across the organization, reflected in profit and loss statements.”

James N.
Fleet Manager, USA

“C3 Yard gives our business the highest level of visibility and control of our assets and products in the yards, as well as increased efficiency in our dock operations.”


Robert B.

Logistics & Supply Chain

“That it’s: – a web based software, so providing there’s an internet connection you can connect from anywhere. – the visibility it offered not just to a few users for our entire operation from the gatehouses to the baordroom, to the infeeds and to linehaul/planners (something our previous system did not offer!) – it’s flexibility in being able to cope with any process changes required or needed by the business. – the time stamps for any actions and confirmations meaning you can extract a plethora of data depending on your company KPI’s, targets and measure the data for continuous improvement. – it’s expanded the overall knowledge of the business as people who now use the software can find out different information that wasn’t captured before.”
