Yards, ports and logistics

Find the trailer without walking the yard

For yard, depot and terminal managers who lose time looking for trailers, containers and handling equipment that someone moved yesterday.

The problem

The yard list says one bay. The trailer is in another.

The trailer is on the list but not in the bay the list names, so someone walks the rows to find it.

A generator or an attachment goes to another depot for a day and is still there a month later.

A container or trailer leaves the yard, and nobody notices until the unit is needed.

Daily checks are ticked on a sheet in the cab, and nobody can show when the last service was done.

Last position, when it last reported, whether it is moving and its battery level, for each trailer, container or machine.

Location history, for any period up to the last 30 days, shows when a unit left its bay and where it went within reach of your gateway.

Pull a tracker off and an alarm is raised. It stays open until a person acknowledges it.

Daily checks as checklists, services on a maintenance plan and repairs as work orders, on each machine's record.

A tag with a button for the night shift or the far end of the terminal. The alarm carries the wearer's last-known position.

If your fleet carries Geoforce trackers, we connect your Geoforce account with you, bringing position, engine hours and movement into Powoflow.

The list of units first, then a look at the yard.

We set the account up, usually within one working day. Free covers one yard, three users and three trackers.

Send the trailer and equipment list. We bring it in with you, so every unit has a record before any tracker arrives.

On a walkthrough we look at the size of the yard and where a gateway could sit.

The tracking kit is available on request: tell us how many units you want to find and we quote it. Begin with the ones that go missing most.

The same trackers on construction equipment, with wind limits for lifts.

Machine records, work orders and preventive maintenance for the production side.

Trackers report only where they reach your gateway. This is for a yard, depot or terminal, not for goods on the road.
No geofences or dwell alerts. You cannot yet be told that a unit crossed the gate or sat too long.
Position comes from satellites, so a tracker needs a view of the sky. Do not expect a position inside a shed.
Powoflow is not a yard management system. It has no gate transactions, bookings or slot planning.

How big it is, what moves in it and what goes missing.
