C3 Yard vs GoRamp Yard Management

C3 Yard is a SaaS yard management system for coordinating tractors, trailers, and shunters moving through a distribution center. C3 describes it for retail, parcel, and large-yard operations, with particular impact at sites with four or more shunters and 100 or more trailers. Yard View shows the yard’s current state, including trailer locations and whether they are loaded or unloaded. Configured rules and priority levels guide shunter task assignments, with instructions delivered through a mobile application. The system also lists gate check-in, trailer inventory, yard maps, and dock-door management. It is accessed through a web browser or C3 Hub mobile application. Its Progressive Web Application provides yard, gate, and warehouse functionality on mobile devices, and C3 says it is compatible with any smartphone. C3 Yard can be configured around processes, rules, sites, roles, and permissions, including user access to one or more sites. It connects with TMS, WMS, and RTV systems through APIs, and supports web services, XML, and flat-file transfers over SFTP. Pricing is on request, based on yard size, features, customization, and integrations. C3 says guaranteed uptime ranges from 99.0% to 99.9%, depending on the selected Service Program package.

GoRamp Yard Management is cloud-based software for coordinating yard activity from gate entry through dock assignment. A live yard map shows trailer locations, while driver self-service check-in and check-out records arrivals and departures in real time. The system automates yard workflows, assigns move tasks, and supports inbound and outbound scheduling with dock planning. Asset status, locations, movements, compliance logs, dwell times, and yard utilization appear through tracking, dashboards, and alerts. GoRamp says it connects with TMS, WMS, and ERP systems, plus license plate readers, kiosks, RFID, GPS, and sensors through APIs, EDI, or file exchange. It describes deployment as typically live in days with minimal setup and says the system can scale from one warehouse to multiple sites. Security details include ISO/IEC 27001:2022 compliance, AES-256 encryption, SSL transmissions, hourly and daily backups, and optional two-factor authentication. Pricing is on request.
