Yard Management Software for Smarter, Faster Warehouse Operations

One Connected Flow from Booking to Departure

friendlyway brings time-slot control, digital arrivals, smart coordination, and real-time updates into one practical yard management solution.

Dock booking system and arrival planning

Dock booking system and arrival planning

Let partners reserve the right slot before arrival. Instead of random gate peaks, you get planned inflow and better alignment with the actual yard capacity. You can also share documents with carriers and shippers and ask them to complete checks online in advance.

Digital gate management

Digital gate management

Gate processes should move quickly, not create a queue before work even begins. friendlyway supports gate management with license plate recognition, automated ID and transport-data checks, QR or PIN-based self-check-in, and multilingual guided next-step instructions at the kiosk.

Live yard visibility

Live yard visibility

Once a vehicle is on site, real-time control matters. friendlyway helps operations teams get a clear view of arrivals, locations, and next actions. That improves trailer visibility, reduces search time, and supports more confident decisions during busy operating windows.
