Yard Management

Keep every truck, dock and gate moving.

MIXMOVE connects inbound scheduling, yard visibility, dock assignment and EV charging in one real-time execution layer, helping teams reduce vehicle waiting time, protect service windows and keep every movement aligned with operational priorities.

The challenge

Yard delays start when movements fall out of sync.

Yard management complexity

Keeping gates, docks and vehicle movements aligned.

The yard is where transport activity and warehouse execution meet. As vehicles arrive, docks fill and priorities change, teams need a shared view of what is happening across the operation. Without that visibility, small timing gaps can become dwell time, congestion and extra coordination effort.

Where it shows up in your operation
Arrival times and dock availability rarely align

Trucks arrive on their own schedule, while dock availability shifts independently, the two rarely sync up.

Misaligned arrivals
EV charging competes with operational time

Electric vehicles need enough charge for their next route, but most yard systems manage charging on a separate platform from dock and loading activity, creating a coordination gap exactly when timing matters most.

CHARGING & DEPARTURE CONFLICTS
Yard visibility is partial or delayed

Real-time status across the yard is often incomplete, leaving blind spots on vehicles and docks.

Blind spots in the yard
Dock changes rely on manual coordination

Reassigning docks and directing vehicle movements still depends on manual calls, not system logic.

Slower dock reassignment
Vehicle waiting time turns into direct cost

When trucks wait beyond agreed loading or unloading windows, dwell time can trigger detention or demurrage charges and reduce transport availability.

WAITING-TIME COSTS
How we solve it

From gate activity to dock coordination

MIXMOVE connects yard activity, dock availability, trailer movements and transport execution into one live operational layer, so gates, docks and charging assignments adjust together as priorities change, not as separate decisions.

Gate-to-dock visibility

Bring arrival information, dock status, yard movements and transport execution data into one operational view.

Vehicles moving from gate check-in through to an assigned dock

Dynamic dock coordination

Adjust dock assignments and trailer movements as conditions change, reducing waiting time and helping avoid detention or demurrage costs.

A vehicle reassigned to a different dock as priorities change

Charging-aware yard execution

Coordinate EV charging in the same system that manages dock and vehicle status, rather than a separate charging platform, so vehicles leave with the range needed for their next route without disrupting yard flow.

Yard events captured and turned into shorter waiting times
How it works

From gate entry to outbound departure. Every yard movement connected.

Every stage of yard execution, from the moment a vehicle is expected to the moment it departs, coordinated in real time by a single operational layer.

Gate entry

Vehicles check in via self-service, ANPR or digital workflows, and arrival data feeds straight into the wider yard operation.

Dock scheduling

Dock slots are assigned using live arrival information, trailer movements priorities and current availability, then adjusted as conditions change to reduce waiting time and protect agreed service windows.

Yard visibility

Every vehicle, trailer and piece of equipment tracked continuously. Congestion is managed before it builds, not after it has already affected throughput.

EV charging coordination

Charging is coordinated against vehicle status, expected load, route distance and departure timing, helping ensure each EV has the autonomy required for its next movement without disrupting yard execution.

Outbound departure

Departure is confirmed once loading, operational readiness and any required charging are complete, while dwell time and SLA events remain captured for performance and cost control.

MIXMOVE HUB OS

Execution Intelligence

Yard Management is a solution within the MIXMOVE platform, powered by MIXMOVE HUB OS. MIXMOVE works alongside your existing TMS, WMS and ERP as an orchestration layer, or operates as a standalone platform where no system currently governs the yard. Its configurable modules allow the platform to expand with your operational needs.
