YMS Recognized as G75 Partner in Supply Chain Sustainability

Yard Management Solutions (YMS) has been honored by Inbound Logistics as one of the 75 Green Supply Chain Partners (G75) for 2024. This prestigious recognition highlights YMS's commitment to delivering innovative yard management software that significantly reduces the environmental impact of supply chain operations.

Leading the Charge in Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions


Each year, Inbound Logistics selects companies that demonstrate leadership in sustainability, creating a more environmentally responsible supply chain. YMS's inclusion in the 2024 G75 list underscores its dedication to reducing carbon emissions and enhancing operational efficiency through cutting-edge yard management technologies.

“Shipping yards have tremendous potential to lead the way in sustainable practices, and this recognition as a G75 Partner reflects YMS's success in bringing that potential to life,” said Colin Mansfield, Company Vice President. “YMS remains committed to providing innovative solutions that help our clients achieve their sustainability goals while improving operational efficiency.”

Innovation Driving Real-World Impact

YMS's solutions feature advanced GPS technology that enables more efficient yard operations with reduced manpower. A key innovation is the GPS-based move assignment system, which allocates tasks to the nearest driver, minimizing fuel consumption and reducing overall carbon emissions.

A prime example of YMS's impact can be seen in its partnership with Michelin. By implementing Yard Management Solutions, Michelin achieved a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions across its operations, showcasing the tangible environmental benefits of this technology.

“Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond software; it's about creating measurable impacts that benefit both clients and the environment,” said Jeff Papadelis, CEO of YMS. “This recognition as a G75 Partner is a testament to YMS's ongoing efforts to lead the industry toward a greener future.”

Proven Metrics of Success

YMS consistently delivers results that enhance operational efficiency while contributing to significant cost savings. Customers utilizing YMS report reducing driver detention by $550,000 and $2.5 million annually. Additionally, YMS solutions reduce the time to locate trailers by 90% and cut yard check times by over 50%.

These metrics highlight the dual benefits of YMS's yard management software: operational excellence and environmental responsibility. As companies across the nation increasingly focus on sustainability—exemplified by initiatives like California's WAIRE program—YMS stands out as a leader in providing solutions that align with these goals.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
