A yard management system (YMS) is a software system designed to monitor the movement of trucks and trailers in the yard of a manufacturing plant, warehouse or distribution center. YMS provides real-time information about the location of trailers in the yard and allows yard employees to move trailers from laying to docks to fill orders efficiently. YMS is often used in conjunction with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Transport Management Systems (TMS). It can also have built-in radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for faster, more accurate tracking.
