Optimize Your Dock Scheduling YardExpert™ extends the management of your distribution facility beyond the four walls of your warehouse by providing yard and dock door management capabilities. This solution, part of the SCExpert™ Suite, handles all of your shipping and receiving. YardExpert™ gives you the ability to track pertinent information for trailers and containers including source information (who brought it in, who owns it), status information (where it is, what is on it, how long it has been there) and usage information (where and when it is supposed to be). This level of visibility and control extends the management and optimization of warehouse receiving and shipping operations resulting in improved throughput and customer service. YardExpert™ provides effective task organization of trailer moves transmitted via RF to yard truck drivers (jockeys). 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.
