Real-time visibility between gate and dock
Between the moment a truck checks in at the gate and the moment it backs into a dock, most operations go dark. Trailers get “lost,” drivers wait, jockeys hunt, and detention and demurrage charges pile up — often without anyone able to say exactly where a trailer is right now. The yard becomes the single most expensive blind spot in the supply chain.
SmartX HUB’s yard management features give you a live map of every trailer, truck and container on site — logged at the gate, tracked across the yard, and matched to the right dock at the right time. It builds on our RTLS features and complements supply chain automation.
Track every asset and orchestrate every door
Yard management works on two fronts at once: knowing where everything is, and deciding what moves where and when. SmartX HUB does both.
Real-Time Trailer & Truck Tracking
Every trailer, truck and container is automatically logged at the gate and tracked live across the yard — no more radio calls or walking the lot to find a unit.
- Automated gate check-in and check-out
- Live map of every unit and its status
- Loaded / empty and yard-slot awareness
- Directed jockey/spotter moves, not guesswork
Intelligent Dock Scheduling
Match inbound and outbound loads to the right door at the right time. Appointments, live yard status and dock availability come together so trucks flow instead of stack up.
- Dock appointment scheduling
- Live door availability and utilization
- Prioritize by appointment, SLA or load type
- Feeds cross-docking and outbound staging
Faster turns, lower charges, zero lost trailers
A visible, scheduled yard pays for itself in reclaimed hours, avoided charges, and freight that keeps moving:
Cut Dwell Time & Charges
Automatic dwell tracking and early warnings help you turn trailers before free time expires — directly reducing detention and demurrage spend.
No More Lost-Trailer Searches
A live map means nobody walks the lot or radios around hunting for a unit — every trailer’s location and status is on screen instantly.
Smoother Gate-to-Dock Flow
Intelligent scheduling keeps trucks flowing to open doors instead of stacking up — shorter gate queues and higher dock utilization.
Data to Win Disputes
Precise, timestamped gate-to-dock records give you the evidence to challenge unfair carrier charges — and to hold your own SLAs accountable.
The right sensing for every yard
From RFID gate portals to wide-area tracking, SmartX HUB uses the technology that fits your yard’s size, layout and accuracy needs:
