Container Yard Operations

Container Yard Operating System

Gate → Documents → Validation → Yard → Inspection, as one flow.

CYOS gives you an end-to-end workflow for container movement, document control and exception handling. One continuous operating flow, followed end to end by a single container — from planning through gate-in, yard transfer, inspection and final routing.

Authorize

Gate Intake & Document Validation

The gate queue identifies the visit waiting for documents — and validation turns paperwork into gate authorization.

  • Rows combine container, driver, flow, lifecycle, zone and space in one view.
  • Awaiting-documents status routes the visit to Upload before authorization.
  • Approval creates a visible authorization for the gate team.
  • The same container identifier remains traceable through every later screen.

Move

Internal Transfer

Shuttle jobs move the container from gate to inspection drop, created automatically after gate-in and auditable from claim through completion.

  • CYOS creates a shuttle job automatically after gate-in.
  • The job moves the container from gate transfer to inspection drop.
  • Operators start and complete the job to finalize the transfer.
  • Job list carries type, container, origin, destination, step and status.

Yard Map

Zone-level context for drop-off and inspection areas — the shared reference every other screen points back to.

  • Operating zones rendered across the tiered yard grid.
  • Drop-off slots and occupancy patterns visible at a glance.
  • Each tier renders as its own grid with per-cell detail.
  • Inspection, empty, full and damaged zones distinguished throughout.
