How do reports and analytics help you make smarter yard operation decisions?
Trusted by logistics leaders since 1998,
YardView’s yard management software delivers the visibility, automation, and insights you need to run a faster, more efficient yard. From real-time dashboards to automated reports and advanced analytics, our platform turns your operational data into strategic action.
Most Businesses Underuse Their Data.
According to FounderJar, the
average small business fails to use 60% to 73% of the data it collects for analysis and decision-making.
YardView helps you unlock that hidden value by transforming your yard data into clear, actionable insights.
What are yard reports and why do they matter?
Reporting tools in YardView’s YMS collect, organize, and present your operational data in real time. These reports help logistics, warehouse, and operations teams monitor KPIs, track performance, support compliance, and make faster decisions with accurate information.
Features of the Reporting Module
YMS reports highlights:
- Real-time, role-based reports - Run up-to-the-minute reports that can be tailored to specific roles and access levels.
- Automated report delivery - Schedule recurring reports to be sent to your inbox. Note that teams are estimated to save up to 8 hours per week per key resource by replacing manual report creation with automated reporting.
- Flexible export and integration - Export reports to Excel for further review or integrate with your existing systems to share metrics across platforms.
- Advanvced search tools - Instantly find details like comments, asset weights, or dwell times using built-in search functionality.
What Sets YardView Apart
Most systems only provide snapshot data, limiting the detail you can see. YardView takes a different approach by storing every transaction — capturing what happened, when, and who did it. That means you gain a complete audit trail of trailer visits and yard activity, enabling deeper reporting, stronger compliance, and smarter decisions at every milestone.
How do dashboards improve yard visibility?
YardView’s customizable dashboards use charts, graphs, and color-coded indicators to give operations teams instant insight into yard status, asset movement, door availability, and more.
YMS dashboard features:
- Live status updates for key metrics - Track dwell times, detention and demurrage, door status, dock appointments, compliance criteria, trailer movements, and more as they happen.
- Color-coded alerts and visual cues - Instantly identify delays, bottlenecks, or priority actions using visual indicators.
- Device agnostic and mobile friendly - Dashboards are responsive and accessible on any device, so teams in the office or in the yard can access whatever information they need at any time.
- Custom views by user or location - Tailor dashboards by department, user role, or facility to show only the data that matters to each group.

What can yard analytics do for my operation?
Analytics go beyond basic report delivery to help you identify trends, predict outcomes, and make data-driven decisions that drive long-term improvement. With YardView, analytics bring together historical and real-time data to optimize performance across your entire yard network.
Features of the Analytics
YMS analytics highlights:
- Digital twin yard map - Drag and drop assets to update inventory positions or create or change yard move requests in real-time.
- Automated move assignment guidance - Suggest optimal driver actions for the ‘next best move’ based on actual yard conditions and automatically logs missed or skipped moves for performance tracking.
- Compliance and safety data capture - Prompt drivers to record temperature, load conditions, and safety details as part of their move tasks.
- Proactive alerts and monitoring - Automatically trigger alerts to notify team about fuel levels, run time, temperature deviations, and late or canceled appointments.
- Custom analytics for continuous improvement - Use historical trends and real-time data to uncover inefficiencies, reduce detention costs, and improve yard operations.
In today’s competitive environment, it’s more important than ever to realize that analytics help drive measurable value to yard operations.
