Yard asset management

The benefits of digital asset management on your site

Without efficient automation, flawless vehicle management is often impossible. Human error is the number one reason for mistakes in a yard. A misplaced trailer, a wrong pick-up, or an overlooked container with high rental fees as a result… Costly mistakes.

Yard Asset Management provides transparent information about the site and creates a digital twin, giving you a real-time overview of all trailers, containers, reefers, etc. Now, you can detect inefficiencies and optimise loading and unloading times.

  • Reduce time and money spent on “lost” trailers
Avoid unnecessary costs by having to physically search for lost trailers or containers on the site. Thanks to insight into the platform's data, you can optimise the daily use of the number of vehicles.
  • Save money by preventing incorrect pick-ups
Automatic monitoring reduces the margin of error in the pick-up of trailers and prevents them from leaving the site.
  • Visibility of yard operations & assets
Get quick insight into all trailers in your yard, for example, which ones are from a specific transporter or for a particular customer.

Benefit from our innovative Yard Management features

Digital twin & dispatch dashboard

Centralise all logistics information in one place and monitor your site at a glance. On your yard’s digital twin, you see all available docks and parking spots, what trailer or container is placed where, and how long it has been there. Is it time to move it? With an easy drag-and-drop, you can move an asset to another spot, and your yard operator gets a notification of this task in his app.

With the digital arrivals queue, you stay on top of all arrived transports. The Peripass yard management software adds extra information, such as the arrived transports, with contextual information, such as cargo data, type of goods, cargo schedule, waiting hours, etc. Now, your dispatchers can quickly make the right decision.

Management Portal

Manage all data about arrival and departure times, turnaround times and fulfilment, and track all visitor activity. Keep an overview of their status: expected, registered, arrived on site, or departed. Yard management software gives you all the information.

In case of dispute, for example, about a waiting fee, verifying or denying the claim is easier than ever. Stay in control of all the information and activities of the drivers, subcontractors, and visitors visiting your site.

Define flows for your assets to improve your logistics site

Optimise your logistics flow by defining the possible active workflows on your site. An example of such a flow is shunter drivers moving empty trailers to loading docks, where truck drivers pick them up once loaded. Based on these predetermined flows, you create a set of triggers and actions. All workflows can be configured in your business rules engine.

You simply define what action happens after:

  1. an asset’s status changes (e.g. “empty” to “loaded”)
  2. an asset’s location changes (e.g. from “expected” to “dropped off at a parking spot”)
  3. when a task related to an asset is finished (e.g. trailer was moved from the dock to a parking spot).
