How Much Are Your Yard Inefficiencies Costing You? Every idle trailer, delayed check-in, or undocumented movement in your yard chips away at profitability. What’s worse — these costs often go unnoticed, buried under spreadsheets and guesswork. But with the right
Yard Management Software (YMS), your yard becomes a well-oiled machine that not only saves time and money, but also gives you
real-time visibility, actionable insights, and full accountability. Let’s break down the ROI of YMS with Exotrac.
- Eliminate Detention and Dwell Costs
Exotrac's YMS drastically reduces trailer idle times through automation and visibility:
- Smart gate check-in via ExoKiosk
- Live yard inventory and trailer tracking via ExoVision
- Real-time dock scheduling and yard truck coordination
These tools combine to help logistics teams reduce average dwell by
15–30%, eliminating detention fee overages and avoiding detention-based penalties. 💡
