Question 1

How long does it take to get running?

Accepted Answer

Yard Spot is cloud software, so there is nothing to install and no servers to provision. Standing up a facility is a matter of mapping your yard, connecting your data and training your team. Integrations can take a few days to create and a few more to test -- but many are pre-built for immediate initiation.

Question 2

How much training will our team need?

Accepted Answer

Not much. Drivers and gate staff work from a small number of screens on a tablet, and the yard map explains itself to anyone who works the yard. Dispatchers and administrators have more to learn, but the structure is intuitive and simple. The full product guide is published at docs.yardspot.io.

Question 3

Who owns our operational data?

Accepted Answer

You do. Your data is yours, it is kept separate from other customers. Access is controlled by role so a driver, a dispatcher and someone in accounting each see what their job requires. You can export it or push it into your own systems at any time.

Question 4

Can we see it working before we commit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Book a demo, and we will walk through your operation rather than a generic script. Come with your yard layout, operating fundamentals, your telematics provider and the systems you would want connected, and you will get a straight answer on fit.
