MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, July 7, 2026 — C3 Solutions, a global leader in yard management and dock scheduling software, today shared key takeaways from its participation in Warehouse. & Yard. 2026, held June 30 to July 1 at the NEC Birmingham. Over two days of live demos and conversations with logistics professionals, C3 saw clear signs that real-time yard visibility and automated dock scheduling are now top priorities for warehouse and yard operators across the UK.

“The message from Birmingham was clear: the yard is no longer a blind spot operators can afford. Teams want real-time visibility, hard data, and automation that frees their people to focus on higher-value work.” — Greg Braun, Co-Founder and CRO

A Milestone Edition for the UK Logistics Industry

Warehouse. & Yard. is the UK’s only exhibition dedicated to warehouse and yard operations. Evolving from IWLEX and YardEx, the 2026 edition was co-located for the first time with Multimodal, the UK’s flagship freight and transport event, as part of UK Logistics Week. The combined format brought warehousing, yard management, transport, and freight together in Hall 3A.

Five Industry Priorities Heard on the Show Floor

Conversations at the C3 stand revealed consistent challenges across grocery, retail, manufacturing, 3PL, freight, and e-commerce:

• Yard visibility: Sites still running on spreadsheets and radios are seeking real-time trailer tracking.
• Detention fees: Operators need automatic timestamps to measure dwell times and gate accountability.
• Dock scheduling: Phone- and email-based booking can no longer keep pace with appointment volumes.
• The yard as the missing link: Closing the gap between transport and the warehouse is now a board-level priority.
• Labor and automation: Teams want software to handle repetitive coordination, from gatehouse check-ins to shunter moves.

C3 Yard and C3 Reservations in the Spotlight

Live demonstrations of C3 Yard’s real-time, drag-and-drop yard map drew strong interest, while C3 Reservations attracted teams ready to replace spreadsheet-based dock scheduling. The show’s pre-qualified audience led to focused, project-driven discussions, and C3 also reconnected with members of its C3 Summit UK community.

“Events like Warehouse. & Yard. let operations leaders compare technologies, test vendors face to face, and benchmark against peers in just two days,” said Greg Braun. “After more than 25 years in yard and dock management, we’re proud to help UK operators turn those conversations into measurable results.”
