Challenges
Where time, overview & controllability are lost
Vehicle status
not clear
In day-to-day operations, key information isn't always readily available. It often takes some time to determine where a vehicle is located, whether it's ready, and what needs to be done next.
No uniform level of information
A great deal of information needs to be coordinated between the yard, dispatch, and transport departments. It is passed on, compared, and sometimes maintained twice – often with differing versions.
Growth will
to chaos
As more vehicles accumulate in the yard, management becomes more complex. Areas are not always clearly occupied, status is not consistently transparent, and processes slow down.
Goal
A common, up-to-date status for all involved.
With SMART.YARD, you manage vehicles, trailers, areas, and tasks in a central solution, in real time and across the entire yard process. This makes processes more predictable, coordination simpler, and operational decisions more reliable.
Central transparency
All relevant information in one place
Less coordination effort
Everyone is working with the same level of information.
More stable processes
Clear workflows and structured processes

The most important functions
for controlled yard operations
1. Vehicle status
not clear
In day-to-day operations, crucial information isn't always readily available. Determining a vehicle's location, its readiness, and the next steps often requires clarification.
2. No uniform level of information
A great deal of information needs to be coordinated between the yard, dispatch, and transport departments. It is passed on, compared, and sometimes maintained twice – often with differing versions.
3. Growth will
to chaos
As more vehicles accumulate in the yard, management becomes more complex. Areas are not always clearly occupied, status is not consistently transparent, and processes slow down.

Feedback from the field
With the Yard Management System, we finally have full transparency over our vehicle movements in the yard. Waiting times have been significantly reduced, and the process is now much more efficient.
Yard Operations Lead,
Vehicle Distribution
The digital control of our yard has massively improved our processes. Vehicles can be located more quickly and handovers to transport partners are much easier to plan.
Logistics Manager,
OEM Distribution Center
Since the introduction of the system, we have less search time, a better overview of parking spaces and a significantly more structured yard organization.
