This can empower teams with timely, meaningful information to enable significant process improvements.

The HighJump™ Yard Advantage yard management system (YMS) provides real-time information, intelligent work direction and complete visibility of trucks, trailers, drivers, goods and materials—from the moment they arrive at the gate to the moment they leave any facility. With a graphical interface, users can manage yard transactions easily. Drag-and-drop functionality converts on-screen trailer moves into RF-directed work for yard drivers. At-a-glance symbols display key information such as trailer type, status, disposition, ownership, which trailers are damaged/out of service, and fuel remaining in refrigerated vehicles.

Track the location of trailers and other equipment — no matter where it ends up in the yard — with RFID-based, real-time location tracking. This ensures security and streamlines workflows by providing users with the actual position of equipment in the yard, eliminating time-consuming searches for misplaced trailers. Additionally, dynamic appointment scheduling capabilities will streamline dock assignments, helping to ensure users don’t double book docks—even if circumstances change at the last minute.

The HighJump labor management system HighJump™ Labor Advantage, gives users the ability to plan, measure and track labor activities within each organization to increase efficiency. Objectively measure employee performance and identify those whose performance consistently exceeds the standard, as well as employees who need assistance. The HighJump LMS enables users to create individual performance standards, enabling each employee to see what is expected and how he or she is performing against that standard throughout the day. HighJump Labor Advantage is built to run alongside the HighJump warehouse management system and can be integrated with most other warehouse management systems. Integrating labor management with warehouse management system provides users with a comprehensive labor management and planning solution.
