Manage Yard Activities as Part of Warehouse Management License
Leverage comprehensive Yard Management capabilities directly within Oracle Warehouse Management with the introduction of this feature in Release 12.2.13. Previously, Yard Management functionalities were primarily available as a separate module or required additional integrations, limiting seamless access for organizations using Oracle Warehouse Management. Now, you can manage yard activities such as trailer management, dock scheduling, and equipment tracking without needing to deploy a standalone Oracle Yard Management system. This enhancement allows for direct visibility and control over equipment across facilities, supporting collaborative dock scheduling and real-time tracking of yard contents within the same environment as warehouse operations.

This feature delivers significant business value by streamlining logistics processes and reducing operational silos.

Key use cases include optimizing dock door efficiency, minimizing detention costs through real-time equipment visibility, and enhancing collaboration with carriers for scheduling appointments. High-level implementation considerations include ensuring compatibility with existing warehouse setups.
