Vehicle Tracking Solution

Overview
Increase in volume and shorter distribution turnaround times have forced retailers and manufacturers to consider increasing DC capacity. But prior to making investments in new facilities, companies are looking to squeeze even more operational efficiency out of their current DC infrastructure. Inefficiencies in inbound/outbound vehicle management and inability to track trailer locations impair cross-docking opportunities impacting fill rates and on-time delivery. Yard jockeys spend many hours trying to find a given trailer or move trailers between various yard locations only to find it was the wrong trailer. There is absolutely no accuracy because daily yards checks and physical yard inventories become outdated as soon as they are completed.

Solution
KeyTone's Vehicle/Trailer Tracking solution provides real time visibility of each and every asset in a yard, optimizes work direction and space utilization, and enables companies to run inbound and outbound operations on schedule without compromising facility security. 

KeyTone solution provides vehicle/trailer visibility across multiple facilities, and many yards from a central location. It empowers yard managers to track vehicles/trailers in real time and direct, optimize and continually verify yard jockey activities. This ensures that no time is wasted looking for trailers and trucks and ensures that the right trailer and trucks are moved to the right location. 

KeyTone solution improves security and efficiency by verifying vehicles at check-in and departure. It also checks trailers to make sure the driver assigned is the one operating the vehicle, and that the appropriate contents (or lack thereof) are on the vehicle. Users can gain granular visibility of each and every trailer in the yard by associating them with an order or loading/unloading doors. Users will now be able to conduct trailer cycle count accurately and with lot of ease.
