Reliably manage yard processes — with digital logistics requirements
Yard management systems control what happens at the location: entrances, waiting areas, gates, slots and handling. In a reality with low workload, reduced personnel and increasing cost pressure, every incident is decisive for efficiency and costs. Loady ensures that all relevant loading, unloading and safety requirements are digitally available even before the truck arrives — and that yard processes can run automatically and smoothly.
Processing doesn't fail because of the system — but because of missing information
Many industrial and logistics locations invest in yard management, digital barriers and slot booking. In practice, however, there are delays because crucial information is missing or has to be clarified first at the gate, e.g.
- Is the location open? Are there closing days or shift limits?
- Are there slot requirements or tolerances in case of delay/early arrival?
- Does the vehicle have the right equipment with it?
- Have the necessary instructions been given?
- Are there any special requirements for safety equipment? Which?
- Does the driver have to carry out tasks independently — and does he know how?
Queries and manual clarification
Lost slots and longer turnaround times
Waiting times and waiting fees
Unnecessary additional trips and additional costs
How Loady Yard supports processes
1. Make requirements digitally available before arrival
Loady provides the database so that yard processes can be planned, audited and automated. All location, product and transport-specific requirements are structured and up-to-date — and are clearly assigned to collection or delivery.
Clarity before entry instead of discussion at the gate
Fewer surprises, incidents, and escalations
Quieter processes on site — faster processing
2. Digital pre-checks as a basis for automation
Preliminary checks can be carried out on the basis of Loady data — manually, rule-based or integrated into yard and gate systems. The following are tested, for example:
- Loading times and tolerances
- Safety and training requirements
- necessary vehicle equipment
- product or location-specific restrictions
- Pre-product restrictions (EPLR check)
Faster approval of transports
Less manual clarification at the site
Prerequisite for automated admission and dispatch processes
3. Prepare drivers specifically — in front of the gate
For every collection or delivery, multilingual online views can be provided via Loady:
- via link or QR code
- Valid for a limited time
- without login or app
The views include:
- clear location and process information
- visual driver instructions
- linked documents (e.g. location rules, SDS)
faster onboarding of new drivers
fewer inquiries on site
more safety when the driver does his own thing
Loady as a link between TMS and Yard
Loady combines planning and processing:
- Requirements are referenced in the freight order
- used in TMS for planning
- and used in the yard management system for pre-checks, admission and dispatch
This means that scheduling, location and drivers work with the same information — consistently and consistently.
Yard management systems that complement Loady
Yard management systems can only automate admission, slots, and dispatch if the underlying requirements are complete and up-to-date. Loady provides this information across systems and makes it usable for pre-checks, admission checks and handling processes — without complicating existing yard systems. Typical yard management environments used by our customers:
- SAP Yard Logistics (SAP YL)
- Blue Yonder Yard Management
- Manhattan Yard Management
- Descartes Yard Management
- Körber Yard Management
- PinPoint Yard Management
- YardView
- C3 Yard Management
- My Leo/Leogistics Yard Management
- FLOW by star/trac
Using data along the logistics process
Why this is relevant now
Why this is now relevant Many locations are working with lower workloads and reduced personnel. At the same time, requirements for safety, verification requirements and efficiency are increasing. In this environment, it becomes clear:
- Manual clarification no longer scales
- Automation requires reliable data
- Handling determines costs and service quality
Companies that prepare yard processes based on data:
- shorten processing times
- reduce additional trips
- relieve staff
- create the basis for automated site logistics

Industry solutions
Precise delivery processes are crucial in the automotive industry — Loady ensures clear transport requirements and prevents delays.
Whether raw materials, specialty chemicals or distribution - Loady delivers clear transportation requirements and prevents delays.
.avif)
In the environment of large construction sites, dynamically adaptable, clear loading and unloading requirements are essential for safety, efficiency and on-time delivery.
With clear loading requirements, route planning and time window management run better - and logistics centers can better calculate when goods arrive and are redistributed.
In particular, liquid transport due to the risk of product contamination — but also deliveries of packaged goods — benefits from clear requirements for safe loading and unloading.
.avif)
In industrial production, clear requirements help to reduce loading times and errors, and thus also rework, which ensures the flow of materials and has a positive effect on production and logistics costs.
.avif)
In mechanical engineering, Loady supports the mostly time-critical delivery of materials and the delivery of finished goods - often in special sizes with special customer requirements.
