Go From Waiting at the Gate to a Yard That Moves

Nauta joins the Yard Management Solutions partner network. Two operations, one chain: what Nauta predicts upstream, what YMS controls between the gate and the dock.

Nauta and Yard Management Solutions partnership

The yard is where supply chains physically land. A container that left port eight weeks ago becomes a trailer sitting in a lot, and every hour it sits is a detention charge, a dock slot nobody can use, a shift standing around waiting. Most teams find out about the load when it shows up at the gate.

That gap is the reason for this partnership.

Upstream, Nauta

One operational brain across ERP, TMS, email, PDFs, supplier portals and spreadsheets. Not stored data, but the context of how your operation actually runs. Agents work inside it, predicting stockouts, delays and cost anomalies weeks before they hit, then acting on them. Agents act. Humans decide.

At the gate, Yard Management Solutions

The system of record on the ground. Gate to dock to departure. Trailers found in seconds instead of an hour, appointments and driver moves scheduled and automated, every action time-stamped across one site or every site you run.

Together

Nauta watches supplier risk, inventory signals and carrier anomalies before those problems reach the gate YMS is managing. Your team stops meeting the load for the first time at the gate. The yard stops absorbing the cost of everything that went wrong three weeks earlier.

I have had trucks sitting at a gate because of a supplier email nobody read three weeks earlier. That is not a yard problem, it is an upstream problem that finally showed up where you can see it. We predict that part. Yard Management Solutions runs what happens once the truck arrives. — Rafael Santiago, COO and Co-Founder, Nauta
