Brycen Launches New Yard Truck Management Solution 'YardFlow' to Enhance Visibility

Brycen Corporation announces the launch of 'YardFlow,' a new solution designed to visualize the entire workflow of trucks within a yard—from check-in and waiting, to calling, berth movement, loading/unloading, and departure.

YardFlow is a cloud-based truck management and dispatch system that enables real-time monitoring of truck status from arrival and waiting, through calling, loading/unloading, to departure. It supports the recording of waiting and loading times, traceability management, and KPI aggregation.

In yard operations that rely on paper, whiteboards, or phone calls, it is often difficult to accurately track when trucks arrived, how long they waited, when they were called, and when loading/unloading started and ended. Amid revisions to logistics-related regulations and the 'Logistics 2024' challenge, the importance of accurately tracking waiting and loading times, standardizing on-site operations, and driving data-based improvements has grown significantly.

YardFlow addresses these challenges by digitally recording the status and timestamps from check-in to the completion of loading, enabling greater visibility and efficiency in yard operations.

Additionally, integration with Brycen’s warehouse management system 'COOOLaWES' allows synchronization between inbound/outbound and loading information and the real-time status of trucks in the yard. This enables integrated management of warehouse operations and yard activities. By connecting the entire process—from check-in to loading and departure—via a unified system, YardFlow supports smoother logistics operations.

Key Features of YardFlow

• Visibility of Waiting Times

Records timestamps from truck check-in and entry, through waiting and calling, to the start of loading, visualizing waiting times. This enables accurate tracking of on-site waiting periods and identification of improvement opportunities.

• Efficient Dispatch Operations

Utilizes pagers to automatically notify drivers when loading becomes available. This standardizes dispatch operations that are often reliant on phone or verbal communication, reducing the workload on on-site staff.

• Visibility of Berth Utilization

Enables real-time monitoring of truck movements to berths and loading activities. By visualizing berth usage, YardFlow supports more efficient berth management.

• Support for Loading Records and Traceability Management

Stores entry/exit records via QR code scanning and logs start/completion times of loading operations. These data can be used for tracking waiting and loading times, traceability management, and KPI calculation.

※YardFlow does not guarantee full compliance with any specific regulation.

• Integration with COOOLaWES

By integrating with the warehouse management system 'COOOLaWES,' YardFlow connects inbound/outbound and loading data with check-in, waiting, calling, and performance management within the yard, enabling synchronized operations between warehouse and yard activities.

• Supports Small-Scale Implementation

As a cloud-based service, YardFlow requires no large-scale server setup or dedicated software installation. It can be introduced and tested gradually, starting from a single site, based on operational scale and needs.

Target Use Cases

YardFlow can be utilized across a wide range of sites where truck check-in, waiting, calling, berth movement, loading/unloading, and departure occur.

• Manufacturing plants and logistics hubs

• Food, frozen, and refrigerated warehouses

• Retail and wholesale distribution centers, transfer centers

• 3PL and warehousing companies

• Sites handling construction materials, supplies, scrap, etc.

• Logistics centers exploring yard management integrated with WMS/WES

YardFlow is particularly suitable for sites currently managing yard operations using paper, whiteboards, Excel, or phone calls, as well as companies facing challenges in tracking waiting and loading times, improving dispatch efficiency, visualizing berth utilization, or preparing for the Logistics 2024 challenge.
