Gartner® Market Guide for Yard Management

The latest edition of the Gartner Market Guide for Yard Management identifies critical supply chain pain points in the yard that are driving shipper interest in Yard Management Systems:

• “Shorter transportation lead times, increasing transportation costs (accelerated by increased fuel costs) push companies to increase their efficiencies in the yard, as time spent on a yard can be unproductive and costly.
• The transportation and warehouse functions meet in the yard, and the yard is often a ‘black hole,’ where companies lack visibility to activities, inventory and equipment.
• Companies are looking into YMS solutions to help close the supply chain gaps that exist in their own backyards, such as long trailer wait times, unproductive personnel numbers, poorly synchronized movement of goods and ineffective dock planning.”
