DALLAS - s4story -- Yard Management Solutions (YMS), a provider of cloud-based yard management software, has won the Supply Chain Product Award – Transportation, Fleet & Workforce Operations at the 2026 Supply Chain Excellence Awards USA, organized by Logistics Manager. Winners were announced Sept. 15 at Union Station in Dallas after live presentations to an independent panel of more than 30 senior supply chain leaders. The program, now in its third year, saw entries rise 106% over 2025.

Most supply chains lose track of a trailer once it passes the gate. Companies invest heavily in TMS, WMS and shipment tracking, yet many yards still run on paper logs and radio calls. YMS replaces them with a live digital record of every trailer, where each gate event and dock assignment is time-stamped and tied to a user. The platform includes:

• Automated gate check-in: AI-powered gate cameras read trailer numbers and license plates, cutting manual gate entry and transcription errors.
• Live yard maps: Eagle View shows a live map of the entire yard. Multi-View provides enterprise-wide visibility through a grid of Eagle Views, each updated in real time.
• No-code automation: Operations teams can build their own custom workflows for trailer assignments, appointment scheduling, and driver messaging.
• Detention control: Detention Destroyer helps customers reduce detention and demurrage fees by as much as 95%.

"A shipment can be tracked for a thousand miles and then go dark at the gate," said Colin Mansfield, VP at Yard Management Solutions. "We built our yard management software to close that gap. Customers see every trailer in real time with zero sensors required."

At Michelin, directing yard drivers to the closest available trailer cut unnecessary trailer moves by 50%, and the company saves $2.95 million a year across two facilities through lower detention fees. At ColdPoint Logistics, a temperature-controlled cold storage provider, yard drivers doubled their daily moves.

Jeff Papadelis, CEO of Yard Management Solutions, added, "Our goal has always been to make the yard as visible and measurable as the rest of the supply chain. We run every implementation as a partnership with the customer's team, and this award reflects what those teams have accomplished in their yards."
