Yard Management System (YMS)
FlowYard is a modern Yard Management System (YMS) designed to efficiently manage vehicle traffic in yards and at loading docks.
It is ideal for companies operating their own fleet as well as facilities where a large number of trucks arrive daily. FlowYard provides full control over yard operations, improves traffic flow, and increases overall operational efficiency.
Everything You Need – In One Place
FlowYard is a unified work environment that combines the functionality of multiple systems into
a single, integrated platform.
Core System Features
- Registration of all vehicle service stages
- Slot and dock management
- Dwell time and operation monitoring
- Automatic SMS and email notifications
- Delivery and pickup schedule management
- Traffic statistics, KPIs, and reporting
- Integration with variable message signs (VMS)
- Historical data – access to complete operation history
FlowYard ensures transparency, structure, and real-time visibility across all yard processes.
Integrated with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
What sets FlowYard apart from other solutions is its full integration with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) tools. The system not only organizes traffic but also utilizes equipment typically used on roads and highways.
Supported ITS Integrations
- Electronic message signs – display instructions directing drivers to the correct positions
- License plate recognition (LPR/ANPR) cameras – automatically record vehicle entries and exits
- Vehicle detection sensors – monitor yard occupancy in real time
- Weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems – verify vehicle weight, including heavy trucks, without stopping them, enabling quick and dynamic load accuracy verification
As a result, FlowYard ensures smooth traffic flow, reduces queues, shortens loading and unloading times, and provides companies with complete operational control.
A System That Adapts to Your Organization – Not the Other Way Around
FlowYard is built with flexibility in mind. Its modular architecture allows it to adapt to the specific operational structure and requirements of each client.
Configuration and Customization Options
- Definition of traffic scenarios and automated messages
- Integration with existing infrastructure or complete system delivery
- Custom messages for variable message signs
- Modular system architecture
- Custom forms and operational logic tailored to client needs
The system grows with your organization and supports both simple and complex logistics environments.
