Modern yard management systems (YMS) are transforming supply chain operations by improving trailer flow, real-time visibility, and dock scheduling efficiency. Companies across industries are adopting modular, AI-enabled YMS solutions to reduce yard congestion, streamline operations, and integrate seamlessly with WMS and TMS platforms.

Earlier this week, Chicago-based Loadsmart, the provider of a logistics technology platform that enables shippers, carriers, and brokers to efficiently manage an automated supply chain, said it has secured $200 million in Series D financing. The company said it this financing was spearheaded by lead investor SoftBank Latin America Fund, which is part of the Softbank Group, as well as participation from Series C investor BlackRock, Class I railroad CSX, and global active asset manager Janus Henderson Group.
