Carrier portal and yard management system (YMS)

Queues at the checkpoint, truck idle time, and demurrage penalties arise where the yard, gates, and carrier requests operate separately from the warehouse and 1C. We build a B2B carrier portal and implement YMS as a single environment: self-booking into time slots, requests, statuses, gates, and yard management, integrated with your WMS and 1C.

Pain

Where the yard and gates lose money

The yard is the last non-automated part of logistics. As long as requests come by phone and email, and the checkpoint, warehouse, and 1C are not connected, losses hide in waiting and manual coordination.

Chaos at the checkpoint

Sometimes there is a line of vehicles, sometimes the gate sits idle arrivals are not planned around actual throughput.

Trip status is not visible

“Where is the truck and why is it delayed?” is figured out by phone calls, while the checkpoint, WMS, and TMS operate separately.

Idle-time penalties

Drivers wait for hours, and demurrage claims arrive after the fact.

Dispatcher overloaded

Schedules, slot approvals, and alerts still rely on manual work.

Blind planning

Slots are assigned without considering dock load, shifts, or shipment priorities.

Approach

How we work: we do not sell a boxed product, we assemble a solution for the outcome

Carrier portal as a standalone engineering layer

For vendors, the carrier portal is a feature inside YMS. We design a B2B portal around real roles carrier, dispatcher, security, warehouse clerk: self-scheduling into time slots, requests, statuses, and documents tailored to your processes.

Integration into a real-world landscape

We connect the yard and portal with 1C (WMS/UT/ERP), TMS, access control, barriers, scales, and license plate recognition through ESB, API, and events. End-to-end integration is our responsibility.

We customize, not sell licenses

We layer the portal and yard management on top of what has already been purchased: an existing YMS or a 1C:WMS module. This reduces IT budget and avoids creating yet another system.

Weak coupling and reliability under peak load

Changing the carrier, warehouse, or checkpoint equipment does not break the rest of the landscape. Exchange monitoring and DORA/SRE keep it stable during peak season.

Scope of work

What we do: scope of work

Carrier account (B2B portal)

Carrier and driver registration, vehicle profile, documents, visit history, and trip status in real time.

Electronic transport requests

Submit and approve requests online instead of by email and phone: route, cargo, vehicle, and driver are entered directly into a single environment and into 1C.

Time slots and time windows

Self-scheduling into an open slot based on dock load, shifts, and priorities. Automatic slotting and rescheduling on failures.

Electronic queue and buffer

Checkpoint registration, a virtual queue, and driver alerts when called to the gate, without vehicle buildup at the entrance.

Gate and yard management (YMS)

Gate assignment and control, yard map, vehicle and trailer movements, linked to WMS loading and unloading tasks.

Checkpoint equipment

Integration of barriers, scales, license plate recognition, and access control systems, enabling registration and entry without manual input.

Yard analytics (DWH/BI)

Unified reporting: vehicle turnover, gate waiting time, dock utilization, carrier punctuality, and idle-time penalties.

Result

What result we measure

The goal of implementation is not a feature set, but a shift in yard operating metrics: vehicle turnover, average gate wait time, dock utilization, carrier punctuality, idle-time penalties, and dispatcher workload. We record the before and after on your own flow. Market ranges (idle time -15-30%, throughput +20-40%, penalties -40-80%) are vendor and review claims, not KT results.

Integration

Integration with 1C and your landscape

For the CIS market, the yard-and-portal ↔ 1C setup is mandatory. We connect the carrier portal and yard management layer to 1C (WMS/Trade Management/ERP), TMS and checkpoint equipment via integration layer (ESB/API/events). If there is a Yard Management module in 1C:WMS, we layer the solution on top and add the portal. The architecture is loosely coupled: if the carrier, warehouse, or scales change, we do not rewrite the rest of the landscape. Connection to the warehouse is — WMS.

Import substitution

Import substitution and the CIS software registry

Domestic tech stack

We build the solution with components from the domestic software registry and on the 1C stack (1C:Enterprise 8.3, Linux, PostgreSQL) so the yard and portal meet procurement requirements.

No vendor lock-in

If you are choosing a YMS, we help assess registry-listed options and assemble a solution without vendor lock-in. Product listing can be verified on the reestr.digital.gov.ru entry.
