Clear Visibility and Efficiency

Shorten yard checks by 50% and keep drivers in motion with queue-based tasks.

Cost-Savings

cost-wording-decreasing-coins-stacking-with-down-arrow-cost-reduction-concept-which-effect-product-cost-profit-inflation-economy-recession-concept

A yard with 250 weekly arrivals achieved over $85,000 in annual savings through faster gate processing and reduced detention fees using PowerYard.

Unmatched Safety

Reduces driver interruptions, errors (by 15%+), and frustration. The system queues up tasks directly on drivers’ tablets, so reduces distracting radio chatter

Cold Chain Assurance

Monitor reefer temperatures and eliminate off-temp losses.

Accountability and Quality

Capture every task with time-stamps to reduce disputes. Drivers get it right the first time with two-way communication and real-time feedback through built-in exception management and comments.

Easy to Deploy and Use

Requires no upfront investments in RFID tags, readers, or the need to Wi-Fi enable your yard. 'Kick-off’ to ‘go-live’ is typically four weeks, with drivers up-to-speed and using the system with 10-minutes of training.
