YARD
Module 02 · Operations

Docks never overlap. The yard never saturates. The yard operator knows what to move.

A per-dock planner that shows the full day at a glance, and an eagle-view yard that paints green, amber or red by load. Your manager reassigns in a click; the yard operator gets the task on their phone. No radio, no Excel, no trucks lost in the yard.

Two views. One yard. Switch and reassign.

Simulated data. The orange cursor moves on its own — that's 'now'. Switch to Yard and click zones — the red one is saturated right now.

Module anatomy

Six docks, three zones, one rule: no two in the same place.

The system knows which dock is load, unload or mixed. It knows how much buffer each DC allows between bookings. It knows which yard zone is full. It makes small decisions all day — your team just sees the outcome.

OPS BRAIN

5 silent decisions per booking.

None of them needs a human click. But any one can be overridden with a reason — it stays logged.

Sub-features

Eight tools that move the day.

01Planner

A gantt per dock.

The full day horizontally. Each dock is a row, each booking a bar. Orange cursor is 'now'. No lists to open, no tabs to flip between.

02Dual views

Gantt or Kanban.

The planner is for planning; the kanban is for running. Same bookings, different lens. Your team picks based on what they're doing.

03Best-dock auto

Assigns without thinking.

When a new booking comes in, the system picks a compatible dock: it prioritizes the right type (load vs unload), factors in day load, and respects the buffer between bookings. Preferences tune per DC.

04Eagle-view yard

Like a real map.

You drag warehouses, docks, gates and yard zones until it matches your DC. It's saved. Each zone paints green, amber or red by occupancy.

05Capacity zones

Every zone has a cap.

At 95% an alert fires. The next trucks auto-route to the next zone with room — no intervention needed.

06Eagle-view yard

Like a real map.

You drag warehouses, docks, gates and yard zones until it matches your DC. It's saved. Each zone paints green, amber or red by occupancy.

07Safety incidents

Logged, not forgotten.

Damage, spills, injuries, near-misses, access violations and fires. With photo, severity and location in the yard. Kept in history for audit.

08Dwell alerts

Pulsing ring on the booking.

If a booking has been at the dock past its SLA, a pulsing ring appears right on its bar. Visible from across the room — not buried in a side panel.

Module states

Six dock states. Three yard colors.

Every dock has a state. Every zone has a level. The rules are day-to-day — you don't touch them after onboarding.

01
Dock free

No active booking. Available to best-dock auto.

Green (< 80%)

Capacity OK. Arrivals auto-assign here.

Amber (80–94%)

Watch. The next two arrivals could tip it over.

Red (≥ 95%)

Alert. We route automatically to the next zone with room.

End to end

One dock, one shift, 8 silent steps.

The system decides on its own. The manager only steps in when reality doesn't match the plan.

08:42
A booking lands

Carrier booked. System runs best-dock: recommends A2 (mixed, least loaded).

01
13:58
Truck crosses gate

Assigned to Zone C (8/10). 'Spot trailer' task raised for the yard operator.

02
14:04
Yard operator moves it

Marks 'complete' from the phone. Gantt advances to A2.

03
14:07
Arrives at dock

Dwell clock starts. SLA for this operation is 90 min.

04
14:38
Manager reassigns to B2

A2 ran over. Two clicks to reassign — yard operator has the new task.

05
15:37
Dwell ≈ SLA

Amber pulsing ring appears. Manager sees it without opening reports.

06
15:58
Dock close

B2 releases. Enters the 15-min buffer, then free for the next.

07
16:00
Cleanup task

Cleanup order generated for the yard operator. Dock paints 'cleanup'.

What it moves

Four levers you feel in one shift.

-32%
Yard dwell

Trucks leave the yard 32% faster. Measured across 14 DCs in beta.

-58%
Dock overlaps

Before: 11 forced reassignments per week. Now: 4.6. The system prevents them upstream.

+44%
Dock utilization

The same dock runs more bookings per day because buffer and rotation are respected.

-71%
Lost tasks

Yard operator tasks are completed or reassigned. They don't fall between radios anymore.

Module questions

Things people ask in the demo.

If it's not here, sales replies same-day — not a form into the void.

You mark it in maintenance with a reason. A hatched band shows on the gantt for the rest of the day, future bookings can no longer pick that dock, and the system proposes an alternative for the current booking. It stays in the audit log under your name.
Yes. Best-dock is a strong suggestion, not a straitjacket. Your manager can reassign in one click and the system asks for a reason — so when you review the month, you know why you overrode it.
Not just 'which one is free' — by type (loading, unloading, mixed) and day load. If A2 already has 9 bookings and A3 has 4, best-dock prefers A3 even if both are free right now.
They open the same Docklyx on their phone. They see only their tasks, with one button for 'on the way' and one for 'done'. No long training — if you can turn it on, you can turn it off.
Yes, that's the eagle view. You drag warehouses, docks, gates and yard zones until it matches your DC. Saved per site. If you have 3 DCs with different layouts, each one keeps its own.
Every zone has a capacity. At 80% it paints amber, at 95% it paints red and fires an alert to the manager. From there, next arrivals auto-route to the next zone with room.
