YardView Yard Management Software (YMS) specializes in streamlining yard management operations. It's used by logistics, manufacturing, and transportation companies across world-wide.

Built for logistics managers, dispatchers, and yard operators, it enhances performance and communication.

We connect every move from the gate, through the yard, and at the dock. Our YMS delivers real-time visibility and complete operational control. Our software streamlines trailer and container tracking, dock scheduling, and yard visibility. Resulting in reduced dwell time, and improved communication and movement.

Our Commitment to Superior Service

We know that every partnership starts with listening. That's why we take pride in the relationships we build — some lasting decades.

With a consultative approach, we work with you to understand your unique operation. Then, we deliver tailored YMS solutions that meet your needs at a reasonable price.

The YardView Story

For more than 27 years, YardView has led the way in yard management software. We’re proud to be among the first purpose-built YMS platforms, we’ve always focused on the yard.

The yard shouldn’t be an afterthought or managed as an add-on from another system, such as a TMS or WMS. We designed YardView to address real challenges in the yard. Our system bridges the gap between transportation and warehouse operations.

Over the years, we’ve continued to innovate while keeping YardView simple to use. You can explore our key milestones on the timeline.

Today, YardView is used at hundreds of sites across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. We help teams improve automation, accuracy, and yard visibility.

YardView works better because it was built for the yard. It’s easy to use, flexible, and built to grow with your business
Jim Harris Founder of YardView

Our Founder: Jim Harris

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.
