Unified Supply Chain Execution Solutions to Drive Resilience, Visibility

Kaleris introduced a series of enhancements to its yard management system (YMS), including the integration of key transportation workflows with Kaleris TMS.

The capabilities and integrations are to empower shippers to take control of their supply chain operations with a unified approach to transportation execution across the yard as well as inbound and outbound shipments.

“Customers have shared with us how truck turn times have tripled, energy costs have surged, and operating expenditures have skyrocketed as a result,” says Kirk Knauff, CEO at Kaleris. “Optimization for each node and mode, coupled with interoperability between transportation and yard systems, are the answer to reducing costs and turn times. When execution solutions work together, they can respond dynamically as conditions change so shippers can make informed decisions that drive enhanced productivity.”

Key takeaways:

• New features include gate automation, which completes trailer check-ins in less than 1 minute; customized gate kiosk workflows that accelerate check-ins/outs; yard task optimization to improve resource utilization by prioritizing trailer moves; and real-time data analytics with actionable insights.
• Kaleris TMS, which specializes in inbound and outbound shipments across common carriers and private fleets, offers integrated workflows with Kaleris YMS to accelerate processing times, reduce detention fees, and lower costs. By linking these mission-critical systems, shippers benefit from advanced shipment notifications; accelerated outbound moves; and enhanced inventory control.
