Inbound
No vehicle reaches your yard that you were not expecting, and every minute it spends there is timed against a plan you set.
UI-02 · Live yard scheduler and execution view
Real screen here (16:10, sanitised). Booked arrival, check-in status, bay position, one early arrival on the exception list.
What it ends
Suppliers arrive when it suits them, and the yard absorbs it.
Trucks that were never booked reach the boom. Vehicles queue in a yard nobody is timing, so the delay is real and the number does not exist. When it is disputed afterwards, the only record is a handwritten register.
Your ERP
Raises the purchase order.
The gate and the yard
Your WMS
Takes over once the stock is received.
How it runs
Five steps, from purchase order to exit gate.
Every vehicle is expected before it arrives, checked at the boom, and timed from the gate to the exit.
