C3 Yard vs INFORM YMSlite

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.
