  YARD HOUND™ Benefits
 
  • Improve yard operation efficiency: Real-Time-Location-System (RTLS) tracking technology provides always-up-to-date visibility of all the yard activities. Yard Hound’s full suite of online tools further allow the customers to use the live information to manage the yard in real time, no more misguided decisions resulting from outdated information.
  • Minimize up-front investment required while scale with the business needs: Yard Hound’s flexible, infrastructure-lite architecture lets the customers start tracking their mobile assets with any configuration that addresses their mission-critical tasks. Additional modular components can be seamlessly added at anytime as the needs grow.
  • Eliminate manual yard checks: With continuous, automatic data collection in the yard, electronic records of the asset location and status are generated instantly to replace time-consuming manual yard checks.
  • Increase yard truck and driver productivity: Yard Hound™ enables the yard managers to constantly monitor the performance of the equipment, facility, and the crew in the yard. Adjustments can be effected immediately to improve resource utilizations. 
  • Avoid costly delays and product shrinkage: Automated custom notifications and reports allow the yard personnel to be on the alert for critical events, so that demurrage and detention charges can be reduced. Spoilage or loss of the trailer contents can also be prevented for time-sensitive and high-value loads.
  • Expedite deployment without disrupting ongoing operations: Through the option to deploy Yard Hound™ as a service hosted by PINC, the burden on customers’ enterprise IT resources is alleviated while the system can be up and running in a matter of days. Round-the-clock technical support by PINC further minimizes the demand for ongoing IT support.
  • Streamline communications and optimize services: Yard Hound™ enables the customers to share the visibility information in real time through secured web portals with other participants (such as the 3rd party carriers and the load control centers) in their logistics network. Consequently, the communication overhead is greatly reduced, while the information exchange becomes much more efficient and better customer service results.
