"When trailers are getting pulled at a high rate of speed, by the time you perform a yard check for 1,000 trailers, the whole yard has changed. We wanted a very flexible, robust system that would give visibility, KPIs, and tracking to know exactly what parts and what containers were in which location at any given time."
"The main reason for choosing n4 is that it is integrated to the equipment control system. The strength of having an integrated solution – kalmar on one hand and navis on the other -- was a strong selling point for us. Of course, the other was the depth of experience in automation."
"PINC allows us to receive an ASN, and we also upload any number of file types and match those files with trailer arrival times into the yard."
"Certainly from a corporate perspective, it helps us get a pulse on what is going on out in the field."
"PINC automates many of the yard management processes that were done manually. By using their system, we are able to keep track of our assets in the yard at all times, and share the information through a web-based interface. With a minimal amount of capital investment and virtually no disruption to our Distribution Center operation, we have improved our yard operation efficiency and cut costs."
"PINC pays for itself within the first year."
"Navis N4 2.3 has delivered long term successes in rdp operations. As a tos it has time and time again proven to be scalable, easily adaptable on physical and virtual servers, robust, and able to cater to all needs of rail operations easily."
"Navis N4 has automated all processes in comparison to the manual work being done earlier. Gate and yard activities have been streamlined. Delivery rate of containers has increased. Reporting is simplified. Navis N4 has enabled operations to perform better."
"We’re sending messages right through the platform, so we no longer have to use a cell phone or a radio."
"We did some research, visited several sites, and spoke to our peers that were already using a YMS. From that process, we selected PINC’s YMS."

“We immediately aligned with Navis’ vision for the future of innovation in the ocean shipping industry and with its experience helping terminals around the world achieve their goals for automation, we knew we made the right choice in selecting N4 for our TOS. Once we started, the Navis team helped us automate our terminal in record time. Through our partnership with Navis, we are confident we will raise the bar for modern terminal operations, performance and efficiency across the ocean supply chain.”
“Navis is a very sharp company and i don't say that lightly i think they're way ahead of the curve compared to the other tos providers and i don't think anyone's going to wind up catching them for quite some time. I'm glad that we made the right choice for our terminal operating system -- navis.”
"It was really important that the solution be able to grow with us as our business continued to grow and change. Upon review of PINC’s proposal, our project team considered their hosted YMS solution as being truly the ‘best in class’ in each of our evaluation areas."
“I have personally been involved in many ‘go lives’, but never one of this size and scale and also never one that has gone so well in so many areas, including change management, adoption of new processes and frontline technology. Without a doubt, the ownership of this project - from the shareholder level to the hatch clerk front line and everybody in between - has been second to none. This is the result of a lot of hard work from many people, both onsite and globally. Thanks to our great foundation and Navis’ second to none commitment to this project’s success, we have done what many thought was impossible, by migrating one of the single biggest facilities in the world with no unplanned impact to our landside or waterside customers."
