Reply, with its Supply Chain and Industry 4.0 platform LEA Reply™, has been included in Gartner’s January 2019 Market Guide for Yard Management.
LEA Reply™ is an interconnected platform based on a microservices architecture that enables agile and cost-effective supply chain solutions tailor-made for business needs.
According to Gartner’s research, “As transportation costs and capacity issues increase, yard management presents opportunities to improve operational efficiency through increased visibility and process optimization.”
The Yard Management Solution, incorporated in LEA Reply™, specialises in the management and performance of all activities that typically take place in a yard enabling end-to-end management, offering 100% visibility and control for critical situations, expediting inbound and outbound warehouse processes and allowing the prioritisation of urgent consignments or production line requirements.
The Gartner research continues, “Companies are looking into YMS solutions to help close the supply chain gaps that exist in their own backyards. Some of these gaps consist of long trailer wait times, unproductive personnel numbers, poorly synchronized movement of goods and ineffective dock planning.”
LEA Reply™ comes with a comprehensive range of features like gate flow, dock scheduling, dock management and yard management. It incorporates a 2D or 3D map with real-time monitoring, staging task capabilities, a mobile application, mobile bay area devices, mobile shunter devices, kiosk, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) and RFID, thus maximising efficiency and reducing costs of ownership.
