Vector Yard Management
United States
What it is
Vector Yard Management is a yard management system for shippers, carriers, 3PLs, and receivers at high-volume distribution centers. It is designed to automate manual work, improve trailer utilization, and reduce trailer dwell and truck turn times. Real-time maps show trailer dwell, turn times, and spotter productivity across one or multiple sites. The system can connect to gate hardware, kiosks, and cameras for automated driver check-ins and check-outs. Drivers can check in through PreCheck, SMS, or an app, and can message with real-time language translation. Yard tools include dock and parking status, automated trailer assignments, trailer pool monitoring, yard moves, and digital audits covering trailer inventory, status, temperature, and fuel levels. Vector says trailers are tracked through workflow actions using spotter tablets, without GPS or RFID tags. Integrations with WMS, TMS, ERP, telematics, ELD, and driver-app providers connect through API, EDI, or email. Pricing is available on request.
