DOCK DOORS
Every door shows its trailer, dwell, and next slot
Receiving, shipping, and cross-dock doors in one board. Yard jockeys see where to spot the next trailer without calling the dock office.
LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION
Personalized software to run your yard and dock.
Production-grade ops software, built to fit on top of Blue Yonder TMS, Manhattan TMS, Trimble, or whichever fleet and yard system you already run. We build it. We deploy it. You pay only after it goes live.
- Built to fit your yard
- Live in weeks, not quarters
- Pay only when it works
THE STATE OF YARD AND DOCK OPERATIONS
Time spent at the gate is the biggest cost no one is tracking.
Detention at shipping and receiving facilities is the single largest measurable productivity loss in U.S. for-hire trucking, and it lands on the yard and dock teams managing the gate.
39.3%
of all truck driver stops at customer facilities resulted in detention in 2023, with delays exceeding two hours
135M+
industry-wide hours lost to driver detention across U.S. trucking in 2023 alone
$11.5B
in lost productivity to the trucking industry from driver detention in 2023, on top of $3.6B in direct expenses

WHAT CHANGES AT YOUR YARD
What changes in your yard and dock operation, week one.
Each capability runs on top of your existing TMS, YMS, and dispatch tools. Nothing rip-and-replace. Nothing your dock crew has to learn from scratch.
ROUTE PROGRESS
Every truck on the road shows stop count and ETA
Dispatchers see route progress with completed stops, remaining stops, and projected delivery window. Late alerts fire before the customer calls.
DRIVER AVAILABILITY
Available, on-route, and off-duty in one view
Hours of service, next available window, and current load. Dispatch assigns the next run in seconds, not a round of phone calls.
TRACTOR UPTIME
Fleet health updated continuously, not after breakdown
Every tractor and trailer reports status. Maintenance sees MTTR per unit class. Dispatch sees available power units per yard zone.
SHIFT HANDOVER
Night dispatcher hands off a dashboard, not a notepad
Stuck loads, late pickups, downed tractors, and open dock doors. All current, all live. The morning dispatcher starts executing, not reconstructing.
BREAKDOWN ALERTS
Roadside events surface to dispatch and maintenance together
Driver reports breakdown. Dispatch sees location and load status. Maintenance sees unit history and nearest service point. One event, two views, zero phone tag.
WHERE YARD OPERATIONS LOSE GROUND
Three breakdowns that compound every shift.
The Chassis Pool Blindspot
A driver arrives at the gate for a chassis pull. The chassis designated in the TMS was flagged defective by the yard tech three hours ago on the radio. The gate still shows it as available.
"We sent a driver 40 miles to pick up a chassis that was deferred for a brake inspection. Nobody updated the system. The radio call was the system."
Yard Operations Manager
The Overnight Breakdown Nobody Saw
A yard truck breaks down on the back row at 23:00. The night operator radios it in. By 07:00, pre-trip inspections start and the same truck is dispatched until the driver calls in from the fuel lane.
"The biggest source of morning chaos is equipment that broke down overnight and never made it into the dispatch board. The radio call existed. The record didn't."
Fleet Manager
The Gate Release Delay
When a container release depends on a specific yard truck or top loader that is down, the delay propagates to the driver, the import team, and the freight forwarder as a chain of phone calls.
"I'm calling five people to figure out why a gate release isn't happening. One call could replace all of them if someone could just see the board."
Terminal Manager
WHAT OPSIMA SHOWS OPERATIONS
A live equipment status board built from field communication.
Every status update sent over WhatsApp, radio, or email becomes a tile on this board. Operations knows what is available right now: not what was available an hour ago.

FROM RADIO CALL TO WORK ORDER
The repair gets reported. The record writes itself.
Field communication flows through Opsima and becomes a structured work order automatically. No forms. No data entry. No end-of-shift catch-up.

PAIN TO OUTCOME
What changes when operations and maintenance share one source of truth.
TMS shows chassis as available. Yard tech deferred it 3 hours ago by radio
Chassis status updated from yard tech communication; TMS pool reflects actual availability
Yard truck breaks down overnight. Dispatched at 07:00 by mistake
Overnight breakdowns visible in dashboard at shift start from radio reports logged in real time
Gate release delayed. Coordinator makes 5 calls to isolate cause
Equipment blocking the release is visible on the status board in one screen
Fleet maintenance records compiled from paper forms at week end
Records structured from technician messaging at time of repair, with timestamps
Driver wait time tracked manually by gate operators
Equipment readiness KPIs calculated automatically from status change events
Maintenance supervisor has no view of repairs in progress across the yard
Live view of every repair: who is working on it, what part is pending, estimated return
THE GATE RELEASE PROBLEM
Every information gap between a yard breakdown and the dispatch board is a delay propagating outward.
The delay hits the driver, the importer, and the freight forwarder. One screen could prevent all of it.

FAQ
Questions from operations and maintenance teams
Can Opsima track third-party leased equipment alongside owned fleet?
Yes. All equipment is tracked by asset ID regardless of ownership. Leased and owned equipment appear on the same board with ownership attribution in reporting.
How does it handle chassis that move between multiple depots?
Opsima tracks chassis by ID. When a chassis is reported at a different depot via field communication, its location updates automatically.
Does it integrate with our existing YMS?
Yes. Opsima can feed structured equipment availability data into Kaleris, Navis, and other YMS platforms via API.
How does it work for 24/7 operations with rotating maintenance crews?
Opsima captures communication continuously. Every shift's updates are captured and timestamped automatically. The board is always current.
Can yard operators report issues directly through the same communication channels?
Yes. That is exactly how it works. Operators radio or message issues as they always have. Opsima reads those messages and creates structured records.
