YardOps helps organisations measure, evidence and manage dwell time accurately, giving both operations and finance teams a shared, trusted view of time on site.
Yard dwell time is the total time a vehicle or trailer spends on site, from arrival to departure. In practice, this includes multiple hand-offs: gate check-in, waiting, shunter movements, dock allocation, loading or unloading, and exit.
Many sites can estimate dwell time. Very few can prove it.
Dwell time issues are rarely caused by a single delay. They arise because:
The result is predictable:
YardOps focuses on accountability, not assumptions.
By capturing time-stamped events across the full yard journey, YardOps creates an auditable record of:
This evidence allows organisations to:
YardOps does not rely on a single timestamp.
Instead, it builds a sequence of verified events using:
Each event is time-stamped, attributed and stored, creating a defensible timeline that stands up to scrutiny from carriers, customers and auditors.
While dispute resolution is often the trigger, the same dwell time data supports wider improvement:
Over time, organisations move from reacting to dwell time claims to reducing dwell time itself.
Organisations using YardOps to manage dwell time typically see:
Where dwell time is manually tracked or reconstructed after the fact, introducing structured, time-stamped capture consistently improves accountability and reduces dispute friction.
Dwell time disputes most often occur in environments with complex hand-offs and shared accountability:
YardOps does not replace your WMS, TMS or ERP.
It fills the gap they leave in the yard by:
This makes it suitable for single sites or multi-site operations without disruptive system change.
This solution is particularly relevant for:
