Dynamic Data to Customize Information Flows

How It Works
Dynamic Data Fields give you full control over how data is presented and used in Yard Spot. Whether a container enters inventory via a mobile app scan, a system feed, or manual entry, Yard Spot automatically associates the right data to that asset. For example:
-
A container scanned at the yard gate can instantly match with the customer record from your ERP.
-
Port gate-out data can be connected to that same container to track free days and avoid costly demurrage.
-
Additional fields—such as carrier, chassis, seal, or booking number—can be added and displayed as needed.
This self-service approach means you can configure Yard Spot on your own terms, ensuring the system reflects your workflows and data requirements, not someone else’s template.
The Benefits
Efficiency
Eliminate manual data entry and rekeying across multiple systems. Containers and assets carry the right information automatically.
Cost Savings
Reduce demurrage, detention, and yard congestion by making critical data—like free days or customer status—immediately visible.
Customer Service
Give your team the tools to answer customer questions instantly, with the right data always at hand. Instead of chasing down spreadsheets or waiting on email updates, Yard Spot provides a single source of truth.
