The yard control system is a method of maintaining an inventory of containers in the yard.

Available spots can be assigned at the in gate , and the shipment information is displayed from the file information as to the details regarding the container.

User definable Group codes can be assigned, so you can get a list of containers by that group

When containers exit or move in the yard, the inventory changes. When the container leaves the yard, a history record is created and available for review.

There are inquiry processes, and yard check reports can be produced for confirming the inventory, and it's a simple process to correct any discrepancies.

There are also various reports for container inventory aging. The number of days in the yard may be very important to reduce per diem charges. This control can also be used to bill the customer for those storage charges in the yard as well.
