EZCheck-In: Driver Pre-Check

Problem

When drivers arrive without the right documents or data, everything slows down. Queues build at the gate, staff scramble to validate paperwork, and disputes arise later when records don't line up. The result is wasted hours, higher labor costs, and costly billing disputes.

Solution

With EZCheck-In, drivers pre-submit BOLs and other documents on any device and can self-check in via phone or tablet before getting to the gate, or at a kiosk upon arrival. Dispatchers gain real-time visibility of inbound loads, while operations teams capture accurate, defensible timestamps to prevent disputes.

Healthcare Distribution Center – Reduced Detention Costs

PowerGate, Gate Automation; EZCheck-In, Driver Pre-Check

Challenge: Manual check-ins and conflicting data drove detention over $40K/month

Solution: Accurate tractor & trailer timestamps with EZCheck-In

Result: Detention cut to $83/month; disputes eliminated

PowerGate, Gate Automation; EZCheck-In, Driver Pre-Check

Challenge

A regional healthcare distribution center was drowning in conflicting data. Carriers provided inconsistent arrival and departure timestamps, while manual check-in processes created even more discrepancies. Staff spent countless hours pulling information from spreadsheets, logs, and phone calls—time-consuming work that left detention fees spiraling above $40,000 per month and eroded trust with partners.

Solution

PowerGate and EZCheck-In replaced manual, error-prone processes with an automated system that provided indisputable tractor and trailer timestamps. Drivers could pre-submit paperwork before arrival, while dispatchers gained real-time visibility into inbound and outbound activity. This gave operations staff reliable, defensible data to manage assessorials and stop disputes before they started.

Results

  • Reduced monthly detention from $40,000+ to $83
  • Indisputable timestamps resolved disputes instantly
  • Stronger assessorial management across the yard

National Parcel Carrier – Accurate Detention Billing

EZCheck-In, Driver Pre-Check

Challenge: Inconsistent timestamps caused billing disputes

Solution: Automated geo-stamped check-in/out data

Result: 72% fewer disputes; $2M recovered

EZCheck-In, Driver Pre-Check

Challenge

A leading parcel carrier was bleeding revenue from inaccurate detention records. Without reliable timestamps, invoices were frequently disputed by customers and carriers, resulting in millions of dollars in uncollected detention charges. The finance team lacked defensible records, and operations wasted time fighting disputes they couldn’t win.

Solution

By implementing EZCheck-In, the carrier introduced automated geo-stamped arrival and departure data for every tractor and trailer. This provided a single, trusted source of truth that eliminated ambiguity, streamlined invoicing, and gave the company confidence in every bill it sent.

Results

  • $2M recovered in detention overpayments

  • More accurate billing processes
  • 72% fewer invoice disputes

“Before PowerYard, we were constantly fighting invoice disputes over detention and losing revenue we couldn’t prove. Now that we have indisputable timestamps, disputes have dropped by 72%, and we’ve recovered over $2M. It’s been a game-changer for us.” –Operations Lead, National Parcel Carrier

Major Distribution Center – Centralized Visibility & Reduced Detention

PowerYMS, Yard & Dock Visibility; PowerGate, Gate Automation

Challenge: Scattered documents and manual processes slowed scheduling

Solution: Unified tracking, dwell, and gate activity

Result: 50%+ fewer detention fees; 3 hours/day saved

PowerYMS, Yard & Dock Visibility; PowerGate, Gate Automation

Challenge

At one of the region’s busiest distribution centers, operations relied on six separate systems to track trailers, dwell times, and gate activity. Scattered data and manual processes caused inefficiencies, making it difficult to schedule accurately. As a result, detention fees were a regular occurrence and productivity suffered.

Solution

The center adopted PowerYMS and PowerGate, consolidating yard and gate visibility into one platform. Trailer movements, dwell times, and gate check-ins were digitized and centralized, giving managers a holistic view of the operation. This allowed proactive scheduling and dramatically reduced time wasted on reconciliation.

Results

  • 50%+ reduction in detention fees
  • Improved trailer scheduling with real-time dwell insights
  • Saved three hours/day by eliminating manual data handling
“Before PowerYard, we were constantly juggling different systems and paperwork just to understand what was happening in the yard. Now everything is in one place—we’ve cut detention fees in half and my team saves hours every day. It’s taken the chaos out of scheduling.” – Yard Operations Manager

Food Processor – Document Accuracy & Dock Flow

EZCheck-In, Driver Pre-Check

Challenge: Manual check-ins and document errors caused bottlenecks

Solution: Pre-submitted documents with imaging

Result: 30% faster check-ins; $24K annual savings

EZCheck-In, Driver Pre-Check

Challenge

A large food processing company depended on manual check-ins and paper-based documents. Frequent errors in bills of lading slowed dock operations, triggered disputes, and required expensive follow-ups. Delays created ripple effects that disrupted dock flow and wasted both driver and staff time.

Solution

EZCheck-In enabled drivers to pre-submit paperwork, including BOLs, and upload images before arrival. Operations teams had validated data ready to go, while dock staff could work from accurate records. This eliminated errors, reduced wait times, and allowed smoother dock scheduling.

Results

  • Check-in time reduced by over 30%
  • $16K in annual labor savings
  • $8K in document error prevention
  • $52K in annual dock scheduling improvements

“Before PowerYard, check-ins were slow and paperwork mistakes constantly caused delays at the dock. Now drivers can pre-submit everything, and our team works from accurate records. Check-ins are faster, errors are gone, and the whole dock flows more smoothly.” – Operations Manager, Food Processing Facility

Solution: Real-time inventory and trailer pool optimization

Result: 50% faster trailer hunts; improved dock scheduling

PowerYMS, Yard & Dock Visibility

Challenge

At a high-volume HVAC manufacturing yard, loaders regularly lost time searching for trailers. Without reliable visibility, assets were misplaced or delayed, disrupting dock schedules and slowing output. Managers lacked a clear picture of trailer pools, leaving inefficiencies unaddressed.

Results

  • Dock scheduling accuracy improved by 25%
  • Loaders gained back 1–2 hours per shift
  • Trailer hunt times reduced by 50%
“Our loaders would waste hours every week just trying to find trailers. It threw off dock schedules and slowed everything down. With PowerYard, trailers are easy to locate. The docks run smoother, and our whole team is more productive.” – Yard Manager, HVAC Manufacturer

Result: 33% faster check-ins; 20+ hours saved weekly; $30K/year saved

PowerGate, Gate Automation

Challenge

At a major distribution center, gate attendants relied on manual logs and paper-based check-ins. During peak hours, drivers waited 15 minutes or longer, creating queues, lost time, and frustration. Operations were slowed and costs mounted due to inefficiencies.

Solution

Solution: Configurable Pre-Check portal with digital records

Result: 2 hours saved daily; $42K annual savings

EZCheck-In, Driver Pre-Check

Challenge

A cold chain distribution facility faced heavy compliance requirements, including CT-PAT and other audit standards. Staff relied on manual data capture and paper forms, which were time-intensive, prone to error, and difficult to retrieve during audits.

Solution

Result: 24/7 visibility into arrivals; automated WMS updates; eliminated manual yard walks

EZCheck-In, Driver Pre-Check

Challenge

An e-commerce fulfillment hub operated without a traditional gate, leaving drivers unsure where to go and staff blind to arrivals and departures. This lack of structure created inventory inaccuracies, delayed WMS updates, and slowed order fulfillment, especially during off-hours.

Solution

EZCheck-In enabled drivers to pre-check in from their own devices, giving dispatchers and managers real-time visibility into inbound and outbound movements. Off-hour arrivals were automatically captured, eliminating blind spots and ensuring WMS data stayed accurate and up to date without manual reconciliation.

Results

Drivers can check in on their phones, and now we have real-time visibility 24/7. Off-hour arrivals are captured automatically, and our updates to the WMS are faster and more accurate. It’s saved us hours every week and eliminated costly mistakes.” – Operations Manager, E-Commerce Fulfillment Hub
