Yard Tracker Overview

In Freight Tracker, we’ve connected yard movements performed by forklift drivers directly into the Freight Tracker admin system.
This allows forklift drivers and allocators to work together using live, real-time data, helping everyone make faster and better decisions.

The Yard screen is designed so both teams stay in sync at all times.
