Yard Network System (YNS)
One system for every person
who touches a trailer.
YardFlow is not just a YMS. It is one standard operating protocol for every yard. Same driver journey, same steps, same proof, at every facility.
The protocol is the product.
One trailer · five seats · one standard
EZ-Pass at the gate, air-traffic control for the trailers.
See it from each seat
The same yard, switched between the driver, the spotter, ops, and machine vision.
The five roles, one standard
Role 01flowDRIVER
The driver checks in from the cab.
No app to download, no guard shack, no clipboard. The driver pulls up, checks in from their phone, and gets routed straight to the door.
Trucks get in without waiting in line.
- Phone or kiosk check-in, nothing to download
- The gate reads the truck and chassis on arrival
- Routed to the assigned door in one message
- SCANPlate ABC-1182
- VERIFIEDChassis 53291
- ROUTEDDoor D7
no app · no guard · 0:42 at gate
Role 02flowTWIN
The spotter moves the trailer. The yard maps itself.
A cab camera builds a live map of the whole yard from the moves the spotter already makes. No beacons, no new hardware, no manual counts.
The yard always knows where every trailer is.
- A live yard map built passively from real moves
- Every trailer located without a walk of the lot
- No beacons and no new hardware to install
Role 03flowYMS
Every dock's live state on one screen.
The coordinator assigns the right door and watches every dock at once. The door is staged before the truck parks.
The dock is ready before the truck parks.
- Every door's live state on one screen
- The right door assigned the moment a truck checks in
- Exceptions surface first, before they breach

Role 04flowBOL
The paperwork signs itself.
The BOL is captured and signed in the same flow, timestamped, with a chain of custody that holds up. Paperless from the gate to the dock.
Signed, timestamped, and it holds up.
- BOL captured and signed inside the driver flow
- A timestamped chain of custody, fully paperless
- Every move tied to who, what, and when

How it works
One engine under all five roles
flowGATE
Cameras read the truck and chassis at the gate, so check-in and exit happen on their own.
flowTWIN
A live twin of the yard, built from the spotter's normal work. No new hardware.
flowAI
An agent dispatches the move, alerts the driver, and surfaces the exception first.
EZ-Pass at the gate, air-traffic control for the trailers.
Today
- Every yard does it its own way
- Radios, clipboards, and a guard shack
- Nobody knows where the trailer is
- Detention starts at hour two
On the standard
- One standard at every yard
- EZ-Pass at the gate, no clipboard
- The live twin always knows
- Production capacity you could not see
Role 05flowNETWORK
One screen runs every yard.
Every yard on one screen, auto-ranked by what is about to break. You do not have 50 yards. You have one yard network, and every yard you add tightens the bands for every other yard.

Integrations
Fit Into Enterprise Reality
Partial data. Mixed systems. Operational nuance. We integrate around the workflow, not the other way around.
Connectivity Surface
Integration Path
Start fast, scale deliberately
Pilot
Minimal Integration
Manual appointment entry. File upload for trailer inventory. No TMS/WMS dependency required.
Wave 1
Core Integration
Appointment sync from TMS. Event webhooks to WMS. Scheduled data exports to BI.
Scale
Full Integration
Real-time bidirectional sync. SSO/SCIM. Network-level visibility. Enterprise reporting.
See it on your own yards.
A 30-minute call, direct with Casey. We show you what the standard does on a yard like yours, you tell us straight where it fits. If it goes well, we talk pilot. If not, you keep the read.
