Effective yard management starts with Real-Time Yard Visibility. Yard Hound from PINC Solutions is the fastest, easiest, and most effective means to achieve real-time visibility in the yard. Designed for rapid installation, Yard Hound uses inexpensive passive RFID tags to track the location and the status of trailers, traces the movements of the yard trucks, and provides a real-time picture of all yard activities via an intuitive, web-based application. Yard Hound and its optional components for monitoring reefers and directing yard truck drivers provide the real-time yard visibility needed for effective yard management.

Yard Hound has several optional components. For more detailed information on each component use the navigation bar to the left.

Yard visibility, made possible by Yard Hound, is having real-time information about all the activities
in the yard at your finger tips:

· What trailers are in the yard now?
· Where in the yard is each trailer located?
· How long has each trailer been at a location?
· Who put the trailer there?
· Who owns a particular trailer?
· What time did a particular trailer leave or arrive at the yard?

And, if the trailers are refrigerated, Yard Hound answers more questions:

· What is the temperature inside the trailer?
· How much more fuel does the unit have?

Yard Hound also answers questions about the yard trucks that move the trailers:

· Where are the yard trucks?
· What percentage time are they idle?
· What percentage time are they driving without a trailer?
· What is their average move time and move distance?

Then, there are situations that you want to be notified of when they happen:

· I want to know as soon as a particular trailer has arrived, or departed
· I want to know if a particular trailer gets parked near the fence

With Yard Hound these and many more questions are answered, real-time, 24/7, automatically.
