We believe running an efficient yard also means running a cleaner one. YardView helps reduce wasted time, fuel, and movement through better planning and visibility. Less idling and fewer delays mean lower emissions and a smaller footprint. We’re proud to build technology that supports smarter and more sustainable logistics
Jim Harris, founder of Cypress Inland Corporation and creator of YardView, spent more than 40 years in transportation and logistics.
In 1995, while consulting for a Fortune 500 retailer, he noticed that managing trailers in the yard was hard. He saw potential but also key limitations. The systems in place were hard to use, rigid, and not built for real operations.
Jim knew he could do better.
With his industry knowledge and passion for technology, he built YardView. He designed a flexible, intuitive, and easy-to-use YMS that could adapt to any operation.
His vision still guides us today: Make logistics easier, one yard at a time.
Company incorporated as Cypress Inland Corporation in Cypress, TX.
