Key Features of Mobile-First Yard Management
Access YardView from Any Device, Anywhere
YardView is designed for the way modern teams work. There is no app to install, and no proprietary equipment required. Users can log in using the devices they already have. This includes phones, tablets, laptops, or desktops.

- Fully responsive interface works on all screen sizes
- No downloads or IT support needed
This flexibility helps your team, drivers, and partners get the information they need. Supporting their work at the gate, on the road, or in the office.
Let Carriers Schedule Appointments
Manual appointment coordination slows down operations and increases the likelihood of delays. YardView’s YMS provides carriers with a self-service portal. It allows them to view availability and book appointments directly.
- Carriers can schedule or reschedule appointments in real time
- Reduces the need for back-and-forth communication
- Automated confirmations help minimize missed appointments
This level of automation frees up your team to focus on high-level tasks. Reducing time wasted on managing logistics over the phone.
Connect Seamlessly with the Systems You Already Use
YardView works with the tools you already rely on, including your TMS, WMS, and ERP systems.
- Syncs data across platforms automatically
- Reduces manual entry and minimizes errors
- Supports API connections for customized integrations
On average, 4 mistakes occur out of every 100 data entries (a 4% error rate), and human error accounts for 80% of process failures.
Automating data flows between systems saves time and eliminates costly manual process errors.
Send Real-Time Alerts Without Picking Up the Phone
Keeping everyone informed is essential for smooth yard operations. YardView sends alerts to the right people at the right time, based on actual conditions.
- Notifications delivered by SMS, email, or in-platform messages
- Alerts triggered by check-in times, delays, or gate assignments
- Eliminates the need for repetitive phone calls
Automated alerts ensure teams and drivers stay informed. This keeps everyone on schedule and eliminates time wasted on manual updates.

- External contacts can receive automated updates based on defined rules
- Permissions control who sees what and when
- Improves communication across your extended supply chain
Accurate and timely updates improve coordination and reduce costly miscommunications.
