Yard Visibility refers to the ability to monitor and manage all activities within the logistics yard, including the movement of trucks, trailers, and containers. Achieving Real-Time Visibility in the yard is essential for:
- Reducing dwell times: By tracking the location and status of assets, companies can minimise idle times and improve throughput.
- Enhancing safety and compliance: Real-time monitoring ensures adherence to safety protocols and regulatory requirements.
- Optimising resource utilisation: Efficient yard operations lead to better use of space and equipment, reducing operational costs.
Peripass’s YMS provides a digital twin of the yard, offering a comprehensive overview that enables proactive decision-making and efficient management of yard activities.

Real-Time Visibility extends beyond the yard, integrating with Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) to provide end-to-end Supply Chain Visibility. Peripass’s integrations with platforms like Transporeon and Shiptify allow for seamless tracking of goods from road to warehouse.
These integration facilitates:
- Dynamic slot management: Adjusting schedules in real-time based on actual conditions, reducing bottlenecks.
