Discover how Velostics is revolutionizing the logistics industry by offering a streamlined, cost-effective alternative to traditional yard management systems.

A Tailored Solution for Oracle Transportation Management and MercuryGate Users

In the world of logistics and supply chain management, efficiency is everything. The ability to manage your yard operations smoothly can mean the difference between on-time deliveries and costly delays. For businesses using Transportation Management Systems (TMS) like Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) or MercuryGate, optimizing yard management is crucial for maintaining the seamless flow of goods.

Traditionally, yard management has been handled by robust, full-fledged Yard Management Systems (YMS) designed to cater to the most complex of operations. However, these systems can be costly, complicated, and slow to implement. For businesses that don’t require all the features of a comprehensive YMS, or for those seeking a more cost-effective and agile solution, Lite Yard Management Software presents an attractive alternative.

Understanding Lite Yard Management Software

Lite Yard Management Software offers the essential tools needed to manage yard operations efficiently, without the high costs and complexity of traditional YMS. But what makes it particularly appealing for Oracle Transportation Management and MercuryGate users?

  1. Seamless Integration with TMS (OTM and MercuryGate): Velostics’ Lite Yard Management Software is designed to work out of the box with both Oracle Transportation Management and MercuryGate. This means you can easily integrate it into your existing workflows without the need for extensive customization or additional IT resources. The seamless data flow between your TMS and yard management processes ensures real-time visibility and control over your operations.

  2. Focused Functionality: Lite Yard Management Software delivers core functionalities such as real-time tracking of vehicles, scheduling, and dock management. These features are critical for optimizing yard operations without the burden of unnecessary extras, allowing your team to focus on what matters most.

  3. Cost-Effective Solution: Full-scale YMS platforms can be expensive, often making them inaccessible for small to medium-sized businesses or those with simpler needs. Lite Yard Management Software offers a cost-effective alternative that doesn’t compromise on the essential features required for efficient yard management. By choosing a lite solution, users can optimize their operations while keeping costs under control.

  4. Quick Implementation and Easy Use: One of the significant advantages of Lite Yard Management Software is its rapid deployment. Unlike traditional YMS, which can take weeks or months to implement, Velostics’ solution can be up and running in just days. This quick turnaround time is particularly beneficial for users looking to see immediate improvements in their yard operations.

  5. Scalable and Flexible: While Lite Yard Management Software is designed to be lean, it’s also highly scalable. As your business grows, so too can your yard management solution. The ability to add functionalities or integrate additional modules ensures that the software grows with your business, without the need for a complete overhaul.
