Total Coordination of Open Yards and Lots

Yard Spot employs a workflow management tool to assign, track and report tasks to keep cargo and equipment moving. Coordinating activities in the yard has never been easier, especially for open yards, container storage and remote lots. Assign tasks, like moving a container for unloading a specific dock, and plan out a whole day or week of events to keep the yard operations in sync.

Digitized Yard Checks

By using cameras on mobile phones to digitize container numbers, Yard Spot speeds up checks and audits in open yards and lots to ensure that timely and accurate data guides decisions on what containers to prioritize. Never get caught by surprise when free-time elapses. Use the digitized yard check to finish your daily reconciliation of what's in the yard (and not) in minutes.

Intermodal Asset Management

In a 2024 episode of "Let's Talk Supply Chain", leaders from Yard Spot powered by Splice, BlackBerry Radar, and SiteTrax discussed how they collaborated to improve asset management at Givens Transportation, a third-party logistics provider and trucking company serving shippers throughout the eastern US, that has open yards and lots.

​

By integrating BlackBerry Radar and SiteTrax data in Yard Spot, the timely and actionable data set a new standard for efficiency and connectivity in freight and yard operations. Yard Spot is the central hub of a powerful data ecosystem to improve visibility, optimize decision-making and elevate efficiencies inside and outside Given's yards.
