Integrated yard logistics refers to the coordinated management of all yard-related activities, including trailer spotting, shuttling, gate operations, equipment rental and management, technology enablement, and network operations, all under a unified operational strategy. 

Instead of treating each component (people, process, equipment, and technology) as a silo, integrated yard logistics connects them into a single, data-driven workflow synchronized with warehouse and transportation operations.

A Yard Operating System is an operational framework designed to deliver optimized and sustainable operations at a site or across the distribution network for a shipper. It includes multiple core components that deliver value at the intersection of operations, processes, and technology.

Yard Management Systems are software solutions that deliver value depending on the capabilities available and their adoption. A YMS is a small component of a Yard Operating System.

When deployed in isolation, these software solutions fail to address key issues within yard operations because of the disconnect between the real problems and the operations. 

For years, enterprise shippers have accepted underperforming yard operations as the norm, outsourcing spotting and shuttling services with limited oversight and assuming inconsistent performance was simply part of the deal. This has led to widespread inefficiencies: high turnover, unreliable service, poor visibility, and rising costs.

Many operational leaders face the same challenges:

• Labor shortages and high attrition
• Unaccountable or reactive vendors
• Safety issues that go unresolved
• Fragmented operations with no enterprise-wide coordination
• Limited visibility into day-to-day performance

In response, some organizations have turned to yard management technology. But software alone isn’t enough. Without the right people, processes, and equipment in place, even the best tech cannot solve fundamental issues or scale effectively across the network.

Ultimately, effective yard management is critical because it exposes and resolves inefficiencies that directly impact cost, service quality, safety, and sustainability. In today’s high-pressure supply chain environment, accepting the status quo is no longer an option.

YMX is redefining enterprise yard operations by focusing on solving root problems, rather than just supplying labor, equipment, or technology.

YMX unifies people, processes, equipment, and technology into a single, comprehensive yard operating model, delivering reliable, optimized, and sustainable enteprise yard operations.

Every YMX operation is powered by YMX OS. This proprietary logistics framework  consolidates fragmented processes and aligns core operational elements to deliver cohesive and standardized operations at a single facility or across your network: 

Yes, however, it is only available with the purchase of YMX services. It is part of YMX OS and serves as a layer that enables the YMX team to manage our operations and collect the data necessary for continuous improvement. 

Integration with existing YMS, WMS, TMS< or any other supply chain systems is also available.

Through YMX's collaboration with industry-leading OEMs, YMX helps shippers cut emissions and operating costs while maintaining performance.

For yard truck EVs, fast-charging plug-n-play infrastructure is included to ensure zero disruption of your operations and a fast go-live.
