Coordination of yard movement with receiving and order fulfillment

As distribution professionals strive to increase customer service levels while decreasing costs, they recognize the hidden potential of yard management to help them reach those goals.

The yard management component of SSA Warehouse Management is what you need to improve visibility and automate the hand-off between warehouse dock personnel and yard jockeys, by maximizing the efficiency of both groups. It enables you to take control of trucks and trailers in the yard and schedule appointments at dock doors for both inbound and outbound operations.

Yard management helps companies like yours:

- Gain visibility into trailer inventory - Improve customer service levels - Increase productivity - Improve control and security - Improve dock door scheduling - Reduce trailer costs and detention charges

SSA Warehouse Management's yard management capabilities provide visibility into inventory sitting in trailers and help you manage and record the arrival, placement, location, and status of trailers, trucks, containers, and content. Intelligent, system-directed task management lets warehouse personnel know what trailers need to be moved, their location in the yard, the location they are going to, and which yard jockeys are available to do the job. It also allows them to match work tasks with available trailers. First-in, first-out (FIFO) methodology ensures that inventory is replenished correctly.
