The Yard Management Industry Report shows that nearly three in four yards still rely on manual processes, causing inefficiencies, higher detention costs, and poor asset utilization. Only 25% of companies use a YMS, while 41% have neither a YMS nor a WMS. Manual processes were the top pain point across industries, with retail shippers also struggling to locate equipment. A modern YMS like FourKites’ Dynamic Yard boosts workforce efficiency 25–30%, increases dock throughput 20–40%, and cuts detention costs 40–80%. By bridging TMS and WMS, it delivers real-time yard visibility, predictive ETAs, and scalable automation.
