@lostisreed I’m Colin. I’m working on @yard_management helping logistics companies grow past spreadsheets & radios in the yard. Our customers save hundreds of thousands to millions every year using YMS optimizations. Prior Army, and was recently in the NYT for doing the One Chip Challenge.

Extremely stoked to announce that @yard_management is a finalist for the "Best IT Innovation" award at ProMat 25. We're the only company in @poweredbymhi's history to be recognized six times - a huge honor, and validation that yard management is, in fact, where it's at.

Just found out that out of 234 submissions, our AI-Powered Gate Automation feature is a “Best IT Innovation” award finalist at ProMat this year! Super stoked.
Two new @yard_management features I'm stoked about: 🛠️ BOL Builder - generate BOLs on the fly, with full formatting, barcodes, and load info. 🤖 Gate check-in/out via AI cameras. Compares scanned trailer/carrier details to appt schedule to boost security& prevent freight theft.
