YMX Logistics unveils YMX OS: The yard operating system for Enterprise Supply Chains

YMX Logistics, a national leader in integrated yard logistics, including gate management, spotting and shuttling services, trailer rentals, and yard management technology solutions, today announced YMX Operating System (OS), a proprietary logistics framework designed to optimize YMX yard operations through technology-enabled insights and execution.

Enterprise shippers managing expansive distribution networks often grapple with fragmented, inefficient, and reactive yard operations—leading to missed shipments, excessive dwell times, poor labor deployment, underutilized equipment, and spiraling operational costs.

"With YMX OS, we are redefining enterprise yard operations," said Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics. "Our proprietary operating methodology emphasizes value-creation at the intersection of operations and technology. It sets a new benchmark for execution and optimization in large-scale distribution networks, allowing shippers to do more with less."

Today, YMX OS powers hundreds of YMX yard operations and teams across North America, delivering improved labor and asset performance, continuous process optimization, increased safety, and enhanced sustainability for the world's largest shippers.

YMX OS core components:

• Workforce: Enhancing workforce management through targeted training, process efficiency, and performance improvement to maximize productivity and reduce operational costs.
• Asset: Optimizing fleet operations, including yard trucks, trailers, and maintenance strategies, to improve uptime, reduce costs, and enhance overall asset utilization.
• Process: Driving standardization, automation, and continuous optimization to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and create scalable operations.
• Technology: Seamlessly connecting gate management, yard management systems, and integrations across transportation, warehouse, and supply chain technologies for real-time coordination and efficiency.
• Data: Leveraging real-time visibility, predictive analytics, and performance insights to drive smarter decision-making and proactive issue resolution.
• Ecosystem: Strengthening collaboration with 3PLs, carriers, and supply chain technology providers to enhance operational efficiency and service delivery.
• Sustainability: Advancing green initiatives through EV truck deployment, fuel efficiency strategies, and emissions reduction to support environmental and cost-saving goals.
• Safety & Compliance: Proactively managing compliance, risk mitigation, and safety protocols to protect people, assets, and operations.
• Enterprise Network: Enabling enterprise-wide visibility and standardized orchestration across multiple facilities to drive operational consistency and performance at scale.

YMX OS also delivers a seamless connectivity layer that integrates with leading yard, transportation, warehousing systems, and other technology partners, fostering enhanced collaboration and productivity. By harnessing real-time and historical data from yard operations, YMX OS provides actionable insights that drive effective collaboration between departments at the facility level and across the network, maximizing enterprise value for YMX's customers.

"YMX OS is a significant step forward in how enterprise shippers manage their yards," added Erin Mitchell, COO of YMX Logistics. "By combining innovative technologies and systems with YMX's unique on-the-ground expertise, we're empowering our customers to accelerate their supply chain performance while maintaining the highest safety and sustainability standards."

This launch follows YMX's January acquisition of Yard Commander, a leading yard management system, reinforcing the company's commitment to enhancing enterprise yard operations through technology enablement. The acquisition laid the groundwork for YMX to add yard management capabilities to the YMX OS framework.
