Precision Yard Geofencing and Dock Door Mapping

Yard Spot maps physical dock doors and creates virtual, dynamic geofences for internal stacking zones or external facilities - all without expensive hardware infrastructure. Turn standard telematics and pixel data into precise, real-time operational control.

Stop Paying For Unnecessary Hardware

Legacy yard management systems require expensive hardware overhauls to track assets. Facilities buy thousands of RFID tags, install Bluetooth beacons, and maintain physical infrastructure that breaks down.

Yard Spot replaces physical hardware with software. We turn your existing fleet telematics and pixel coordinates into virtual boundaries, giving you total control of your yard without the enterprise price tag.

Auto-Dispatch to Keep Yard Operations on Cruise Control

Dock Door Mapping

Digital Dock Door Occupancy. Map your warehouse dock doors to track trailer positions. Yard Spot monitors which doors are occupied and which doors remain open. This visibility lets you coordinate warehouse labor with actual trailer placement, reducing wait times for your loading teams.

Dynamic Yard Zones

Virtual Stacking and Zone Management. Create digital boundaries for custom yard zones, chassis pools, or empty container stacks. When a yard hostler drops a container within a designated zone, the system logs the position. You maintain an accurate master yard map without manual inventory data entry.

Manage Your Own Geofences

Create and Change Geofences within Yard Spot. The Location Editor tool allows users to independently create and change geofences. Add a customer - add a geofence. New yard partition for specific project - add a geofence. Flexibility to stay organized and monitor assets in named geofenced areas.

External Facility Geofencing

Extend Visibility Beyond the Fence Line. Your tracking does not stop at your main gate. Set up virtual geofences around secondary overflow lots or external customer facilities. Monitor drop-and-hook programs and track equipment arrival times at off-site locations to protect your operation from carrier detention disputes.

Software-Driven Control for High-Velocity Yards

Zero Hardware Fees

Eliminate the cost of purchasing, installing, and replacing physical tracking tags or beacons across your facility. Contact our team to see how virtual geofences and dock door mapping eliminate the need for expensive tracking hardware.

Accurate Dwell Tracking

Capture arrival and departure timestamps for specific zones to identify which containers drain your lot capacity.

Rapid Setup

Map your dock doors and define yard zones in hours rather than months. Your software footprint scales as your physical operation expands.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are geofenced zones created in Yard Spot?

Administrators draw custom geofenced zones directly on an interactive map within the web browser. Setting up a new zone, whether an entire yard section or a specific section, takes under five minutes without requiring site surveys or physical markers. You see the layout in satellite or traditional map views.

Can I set up nested or specialized sub-zones (e.g., dock doors, staging lanes, hold areas)?

Yes. You can define geofences for specific operational functions, like staging rows, repair/maintenance areas, cleaning stations, customs hold blocks, and empty container stacks.

What happens automatically when an asset enters or leaves a geofenced zone?

When a hostler drops a container inside a geofence, the system automatically updates the asset's slot status and logs a timestamp. Leaving a zone logs an exit event automatically.

Do trailers need installed GPS hardware for geofencing to work?

No. Yard Spot calculates geofenced placement by taking the mobile device’s GPS location at the exact moment a hostler confirms a drop. Yard checks and GPS tracking devices also confirm a position within a geofence. This gives you full geofence intelligence inside or outside your facility.
