C3 helps a grocery giant streamline its yards
Overview
Yard Management has always been a major business focus for this Texas grocery giant, to the point where they developed their own yard management system (YMS) in the early 90s.
Managing the arrivals, departures, loading, unloading and all the trailer moves within its facility had become an overwhelming challenge. With 4 separate campuses on the facility and 25 or more drivers servicing 600 dock doors and making 2,000 trailer moves a day, you can imagine the scale of the task at hand

The
C3 Solution
C3’s yard management software deployment proved that a full-featured YMS system saves money and improves performance.
It also demonstrated that a YMS can have important impacts beyond the yard. C3 replaced the previous system with very few disruptions in service to become fully integrated within our customer’s order-management and transportation-management systems.
