Proactive Yard Product Protection
What we deliver
The Problem (Before)
Trailers with perishable or time-sensitive goods are forgotten in the yard because there is no visibility into what arrived when, or what is currently sitting in which trailer. Ambient trailers with shelf-life-sensitive goods get overlooked, and reefers with malfunctioning units go undetected. The result is direct product write-offs from spoilage.

The Outcome (After)
Dynamic Yard provides real-time trailer inventory with dwell time tracking. Yard Reefer Monitoring detects temperature excursions. Inventory Twin connects trailer contents to product shelf-life data. Combined, these surface at-risk trailers before spoilage occurs.
FourKites is the only platform that connects yard-level trailer location with product-level inventory and shelf-life data, enabling content-aware yard management rather than trailer-only management.
How it works
By combining real-time yard trailer inventory with product-level shelf-life intelligence, FourKites enables facilities to prioritize unloading based on spoilage risk rather than arbitrary arrival sequence.
Facility performance benchmarks
This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.
FourKites is the only platform that connects yard-level trailer location with product-level inventory and shelf-life data, enabling content-aware yard management rather than trailer-only management. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company facility and yard intelligence is what cannot be replicated with software alone.
