1. Lack of visibility into yard assets – inability to know what’s onsite, which appointments are tied to trailers, or how long they’ve been onsite
1. myQE provides real-time, digital inventory or trailer location, attributes, and status
2. Enable quick trailer searches – no more yard walks required!
2. Inefficient gate check-in and check-out – resulting in bottlenecks, long wait times, and manual entry errors
1. Digitize entry with mobile, SMS, and kiosk check-ins
2. Secure facilities and reduce costs with driver self-service gate control
3. Integration with WMS/TMS to validate appointments
4. Speed up throughput to reduce detention costs
3. Trailer dwell time & congestion – idle trailers take up yard space, rack up detention fees
1. Task management prioritized trailer moves to minimize idle time
2. Automate trailer movement tasks based on loading completion or outbound shipment schedules
3. Alerts for long dwelling or late trailers
4. Poor coordination between Yard, Warehouse & Transportation – silos lead to miscommunications where a trailer arrives without a dock ready or the warehouse not knowing that a load is ready
1. Shared visibility across logistics, warehouse & customer/vendor/carrier partners
2. Integrates with TMS/WMS for synchronized updates
3. Promotes proactive planning rather than reactive firefighting
5. Inefficient Yard Driver Utilization - Yard jockeys often rely on radio calls or spreadsheets for move requests, leading to wasted time and unnecessary travel.
1. Digitally dispatch tasks using a mobile app
2. Easily prioritize and track priority moves
3. Track yard driver productivity and movement history
4. Reduce deadhead moves & idle time
6. Manual processes & data entry errors – paper-based or spreadsheet tracking is slow, error-prone, and difficult to extract data or audit
1. Automate data capture from video or driver self-serve check-in
2. Maintain an accurate, time-stamped video or digital record of all yard events
3. Simplify audits, compliance checks, and reporting
7. Safety & Security risks – uncontrolled movement in the yard increases risk of accidents, lost assets, or unauthorized access
1. Control gate access and trailer movements digitally
2. Track who has entered, when & why
3. Reduce congestion & unsafe movement through controlled scheduling
