What makes Kaleris YMS different?

No more app fatigue. Our SSO-enabled driver solutions don't require a download


A robust YMS should work with your staff, not against them. With Kaleris kiosks, drivers can check in at their convenience in any language, ensure only authorized drivers and shipments enter the facility, and give yard managers live visibility for better planning and execution. YMS driver check-in automation supports faster throughput, greater operational efficiency, compliance with security protocols, and an improved carrier experience.

Spend less time looking for assets, and more time planning the next move


Live inventory checks are essential for maintaining accuracy, speed, security, and customer satisfaction. On top of accurate ETAs and ensuring businesses have up-to-date information on trailer, container, and asset conditions, Kaleris offers live inventory checks, view current load status, and make gate appointments online – from the manufacturer, to the final destination. When purchased in combination with Kaleris TMS, businesses have the power to execute an end-to-end transportation management plan and cover blind spots that can’t be filled with a YMS alone.

Increase accountability, data security and track exceptions


Yard operations shouldn’t feel like a frustrating game of chess. RTLS identifies asset matching criteria with real-time and historical asset visibility to keep things moving. Reduce time and frequency of yard moves and reallocate yard driver’s time to something better. Gain improved inventory control, location accuracy and air-tight data quality.

Drive efficiency where it matters most—your yard
