CHICAGO - illiNews -- Yard Management Solutions (YMS) is proud to announce its nomination as a finalist for the "Best IT Innovation" award at ProMat 2025. The award is given to the most innovative products in the logistics industry based on concept, value, and overall impact. This marks the sixth time that YMS has been recognized for its pioneering work in the logistics and supply chain technology space, securing Yard Management Solutions as the industry leader in YMS innovations.

After receiving 234 submissions for this year's awards, nine independent judges comprised of professionals from the material handling and supply chain logistics industry completed the initial review process, naming Yard Management Solutions as a finalist.

The nomination spotlights YMS's latest breakthrough, the YMS AI-Powered Gate Automation system. Designed to address the inefficiencies of traditional gate processes—delays, high costs, and the risk of cargo theft—this fully autonomous solution streamlines yard operations by:

• Saving Time: Automates asset check-in to reduce processing times by 2–20 minutes per vehicle.
• Reducing Costs: Eliminates manual inefficiencies and gate personnel expenses, saving facilities an average of $400,000 annually.
• Preventing Theft: Employs proactive security measures that can save over $500,000 per incident in potential losses.

"Being recognized for the sixth time is a strong validation of our commitment to solving real operational challenges with smart, simple to use, effective technology," said Colin Mansfield, Company VP at Yard Management Solutions. "Our AI-powered gate automation system was developed in direct response to customer needs—providing a seamless, secure, and efficient solution that not only optimizes throughput but also significantly cuts costs and improves overall safety."

The system integrates with advanced AI camera technology for real-time data capture, automated entry, and secure checkout. By instantly verifying trailer details against scheduled appointments, the solution ensures only authorized access while simultaneously checking vehicles into the system. This not only minimizes human error but also frees up staff to focus on higher-value tasks, ultimately boosting operational efficiency and supporting sustainability goals through reduced idle times and fuel consumption.

Jeff Papadelis, CEO of Yard Management Solutions, added, "The days of paper-and-pencil yard management headaches are over. Our ongoing investment in automation and AI has transformed yard management into an opportunity for organizations to save money while eliminating costly processes. This nomination underscores the tangible benefits our solutions deliver—improved security, faster processing times, and incredible cost savings. We're excited to showcase these advancements at ProMat 2025."
