YardFlow by FreightRoll · 2026
Your yards are the gap in your supply-chain stack. Your TMS runs the road, your WMS runs the building, nothing runs the yards. The Yard Network System fills that gap, and it made each of over 20 sites at least $1M+ more profitable. Now rolling out to over 200 more.
The YardFlow Difference
Legacy YMS is built for the largest 25 sites. YardFlow deploys in 30 minutes at a fraction of the cost, making yard automation accessible to every facility in your network. Sized conservatively, on Primo's measured results. The headline is the floor, not the ceiling.
Live in production · PRIMO BRANDS
Primo started with one layer, the driver journey, before any YMS. Across the 24 sites where it went live, those yards shipped about 5% more volume on flat dock-office headcount, and drop-and-hook turns fell from 48 minutes to 24. That is why Primo committed all ~260 sites, the first national shipper to put its whole yard network on one protocol.
"Your software enabled us to take on additional volume while remaining headcount neutral in the dock office. That was an integral part of our strategy, and it has been proven."

The way it works today
Three-part NCR forms. Yellow stickies. Radio chatter. Driver hands over their DL at the guard shack and waits. Trucks take too long to get in and out, and that is production capacity you never get to sell.
Same driver journey at every facility. Every move timestamped. Chain of custody cryptographically signed. Same data, same standard, in every yard you operate.

Ground Source Truth
YardFlow is the Yard Network System, the software layer between your TMS and your WMS. One standard for every person who touches a trailer, across every yard. Each facility you add tightens variance bands for every other facility in the network.
Who it runs
Under all five: machine vision reads the truck at the gate, builds a live yard map with no new hardware, and an agent dispatches the next move. EZ-Pass at the gate, air-traffic control for the trailers.
App-free · web.FreightRoll.com
Posted FreightRoll placard at the gate. Driver opens their phone camera, taps the link, lands at web.FreightRoll.com. Auto-recognized identity, auto-populated shipment.
Drop-rules + dock # + seal # arrive over native SMS. The moments that must not miss the driver get pushed to where they already check reflexively.
Final step: MACHINE VERIFIED QR opens the gate. No paperwork, no clipboard, no guard radio.
Passive RTLS · No new hardware lift
A camera mounted on the yard-spotter vehicle streams to FreightRoll's vision engine. Every trailer the spotter passes gets OCR'd, brand-matched, and reconciled to its yard spot, in real time, on the satellite POV.
No new RTLS infrastructure. No transponders. No bolt-on hardware. The yard truck the customer already pays for becomes the RTLS sensor.
"When drivers move trailers around, we passively recognize what they pass and update the system."

Carrier accountability · Reads truck, chassis, time
One camera at the exit. Machine vision reads the truck and the chassis on the way out, not just where the chassis sits.
Driver taps nothing. Guard radios no one. The gate pass logs the carrier, the unit, the chassis, and the timestamp the moment the truck crosses the line.
A chassis that exits without a matching load gets flagged to a carrier audit. Every pass cryptographically timestamped, defensible from day one.

What the ops lead actually uses
Drivers needing attention. Tasks needing attention. Doors needing attention. BOLs awaiting signature. Plus driver messages and empty trailers by SCAC.
Everything an ops lead used to track on a whiteboard, surfaced live, ranked by what's about to breach SLA.

Customer Voice · Survey #869 · Primo Brands → Walmart
"I lost my paperwork at the shipper. I got in trouble, was losing my load. Then I went back through and found this shipping manifest, downloaded it, and gave it to Walmart the receiver. My company called me missing a page so I just sent them right off my phone. It was easy and it saved my butt.
