Yard Management

Yardview is a great company to do business with because they're responsive and reasonable. Our integration with them actually ran under budget and was delivered on time. I'd have to say that of all our software vendor relationships, it's among the best.

PROS

The software is used for yard management of large warehouse yards. It has a component in the driver's cab so their dispatches come up immediately on their screen. The simple design allows the drivers to easily navigate the job requests, pick the one they're working on, make any notes to the move and view the other options quickly and easily. Dispatchers can stack load assignments up and push them to the trucks with ease. Management and exception reports are well laid out and provide great metrics to help improve yard efficiency. Finally, the vendor is easy to work with and really knows their product so externally integration was easy.

CONS

The only initial con I had was that the GUI felt a little dated but they've issued a new version that greatly enhanced the look and feel.

Reason for choosing YardView

We chose the product back in 2010 and Yardview was by far the best product for the lowest cost.

Vendor Response

John, thank you for the kind review, we really appreciate your feedback. You really summed up the key areas/goals we work hard to accomplish from easy implementation to driver management. We hope you are enjoying the advanced GUI that has been in place for many years now. Thanks John!

High Quality Software, Quick Implementation, Major ROI

Thank you for all your help our rep! The rep is just one of the great people that I got to work with at YardView. Aside from the rep just being an amazing person, she took care of every concern we had, and went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our project was addressed and taken care of. It was almost as though she became an extension of our own team. However, everyone on their team was extremely professional and helpful as well.

PROS

YardView is an extremely powerful tool that provides the same dynamic analytical capabilities that "BIG" Asset Management Software companies offer, but YardView provides the agility of a fast implementation that the "BIG" companies simply can't compete with. Our business volumes fluctuate seasonally so we needed a cost effective solution that could be rolled out and implemented quickly to multiple sites as business needs dictate. After evaluating a several other solutions YardView was the best choice by far. The software is straight forward and easy to use for any user. Minimal training was needed because the interface is so user friendly. An immediate ROI was realized in reduced man hours, and gained visibility and use analytics which gave us the ability to better track our assets and maintain our facilities.

CONS

I wish there was a YardView API that can be leveraged to easily integrate YardView with other Software.

Reason for choosing YardView

Price, flexability, ease of use, quick implementation.

Reasons for switching to YardView

YardView didn't require one of our users to become an application specialist, as was required with our legacy YMS. Our users were able to start using YardView immediately after 1 training session and it actually freed up more of their time, rather than become an additional task to manage. Our biggest concern was user acceptance, which was not an issue with YardView. Additionally they provide a big value at a small price.

Vendor Response

Joseph, thank you for the kind review! We really work hard to make sure our system is user friendly and easy to implement so it's great to hear you experienced that. We actually do have an API and offer it as an option for any data share projects, including with widely used systems like SAP and Red Prairie. We also customize it when necessary to capture all data points required for our customers specific needs. Let's set up a call to discuss your integration needs and get this turned around quickly for you!

Clean interface, one of the best Yard Management packages available

PROS

Ease of use. .NET application will run on almost any Windows device will little to no setup required.

CONS

Software can lock up on occasion but think this has more to do with poor Internet connectivity at times in the yard.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the great review Jeff. We appreciate your partnership and feedback. We host our solution at AWS with some of the biggest and fastest servers in the world. Typically internet issues are local, but please reach out to support so we can troubleshoot if you have any issues at all.

price, support, monthly licensing fees, team members, ownership, and software capabilities.
