The Economics · V2 Archetype Network Model
The yard is capping what your plants can sell.
Model what lifting the cap is worth.
The YardFlow ROI model computes board-ready economics for a yard network: Year 1 ROI, payback period, 5-year NPV, and per-facility savings. It compares YardFlow against a legacy YMS baseline across three network archetypes: facilities already running a YMS, drop-trailer networks with no YMS, and live-load networks without drops.

The model separates hard savings (detention, demurrage, gate labor, spotter utilization, BOL handling) from realized production capacity: the additional volume a plant can ship when the yard stops capping it. Every assumption is visible and adjustable in the model below. Results export as a board-ready PDF.
The gate-to-gate and volume figures were measured at Primo Brands; the $1M+ per-site economics are modeled from them.
