Yard-Centric Distribution Conversion Kit

Conversion worksheet prompts and launch checks for distribution teams where dwell control and execution evidence drive throughput and margin.

ROI worksheet prompts

Dwell reduction opportunity

Baseline question

How much avoidable dwell exists between gate event, dock assignment, and load release?

Improvement signal

Lower dwell variance through synchronized yard and dispatch state.

Open supporting route

Detention and exception recovery

Baseline question

What detention/exception value is currently unclaimed due to weak evidence trails?

Improvement signal

Higher recovery as event timing and ownership signals stay intact.

Open supporting route

Cross-site throughput consistency

Baseline question

How variable are cycle times across similar facilities and operating windows?

Improvement signal

Improved consistency with standardized runtime and contract controls.

TCO worksheet prompts

Dock scheduling manual effort

Baseline question

How much coordinator time is consumed by manual appointment and dock conflict resolution?

Improvement signal

Reduced planner effort from constraint-aware dock workflows.

Open supporting route

Dispute investigation cost

Baseline question

What effort is required to prove sequence and timing during customer disputes?

Improvement signal

Faster dispute closure with deterministic event history.

Open supporting route

Data reconciliation overhead

Baseline question

How much finance/ops effort is spent reconciling yard events to billing systems?

Improvement signal

Lower reconciliation overhead with contract-backed event continuity.

Implementation readiness checks

Complete these checks before committing implementation plans, timelines, and ownership.

  1. Check 1

    Validate gate and dock continuity

    Trace one representative move from check-in to dock completion with no timeline gaps.

    Verify in route
  2. Check 2

    Confirm dispatch alignment

    Ensure dispatch updates reflect yard exceptions before downstream assignment decisions.

    Verify in route
  3. Check 3

    Verify event-to-finance evidence

    Walk an exception event through operational and billing review routes.

    Verify in route
  4. Check 4

    Review contract guardrails

    Confirm event contracts and ownership boundaries are explicit for each handoff.
