By applying modern technology and problem-solving to one of the oldest problems in the book, Kaleris YMS reduces trailer detention, cuts back significantly on third-party jockey services, practically eliminates the need for trailer rentals, and turns simple data collection into an operational tool. Using the RFID-based system, for example, it takes just minutes to locate a trailer which has been placed in an optimal position to minimize unnecessary yard movements & employee labor.

Kaleris YMS has a proven track record with Top CPG companies such as Kimberly Clark and World Market. Kaleris has proven successful in this space by:

- Eliminating daily manual yard checks
- Reducing the private fleet pool
- Minimizing truck and driver resources needed for yard operations
- Lowering yard truck fuel consumption
- Eliminating manual reporting and yard inventory reconciliation
- Improving collaboration and communication with carriers
- Significantly reducing demurrage and detention charges
