LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION

The TMS has the load. Not the yard truck.

Real-time equipment status for yard ops and fleet maintenance -- built from the radio calls your team already makes.

Most yards are running on data that is hours old.

Across the logistics industry, the gap between what dispatch knows and what is actually happening in the yard remains wide.

72%

of logistics operators still rely on phone or radio to communicate yard equipment status

18%

of gate delay events at major inland depots caused by chassis pool availability errors

6.4 hrs

average time from yard equipment breakdown to structured maintenance record

Three breakdowns that compound every shift.

The Chassis Pool Blindspot

A driver arrives at the gate for a chassis pull. The chassis designated in the TMS was flagged defective by the yard tech three hours ago on the radio. The gate still shows it as available.

"We sent a driver 40 miles to pick up a chassis that was deferred for a brake inspection. Nobody updated the system. The radio call was the system."

Yard Operations Manager

The Overnight Breakdown Nobody Saw

A yard truck breaks down on the back row at 23:00. The night operator radios it in. By 07:00, pre-trip inspections start and the same truck is dispatched until the driver calls in from the fuel lane.

"The biggest source of morning chaos is equipment that broke down overnight and never made it into the dispatch board. The radio call existed. The record didn't."

Fleet Manager

The Gate Release Delay

When a container release depends on a specific yard truck or top loader that is down, the delay propagates to the driver, the import team, and the freight forwarder as a chain of phone calls.

"I'm calling five people to figure out why a gate release isn't happening. One call could replace all of them if someone could just see the board."

Terminal Manager

A live equipment status board built from field communication.

Every status update sent over WhatsApp, radio, or email becomes a tile on this board. Operations knows what is available right now: not what was available an hour ago.

The repair gets reported. The record writes itself.

Field communication flows through Opsima and becomes a structured work order automatically. No forms. No data entry. No end-of-shift catch-up.

What changes when operations and maintenance share one source of truth.

TMS shows chassis as available. Yard tech deferred it 3 hours ago by radio
Chassis status updated from yard tech communication; TMS pool reflects actual availability
Yard truck breaks down overnight. Dispatched at 07:00 by mistake
Overnight breakdowns visible in dashboard at shift start from radio reports logged in real time
Gate release delayed. Coordinator makes 5 calls to isolate cause
Equipment blocking the release is visible on the status board in one screen
Fleet maintenance records compiled from paper forms at week end
Records structured from technician messaging at time of repair, with timestamps
Driver wait time tracked manually by gate operators
Equipment readiness KPIs calculated automatically from status change events
Maintenance supervisor has no view of repairs in progress across the yard
Live view of every repair: who is working on it, what part is pending, estimated return

Every information gap between a yard breakdown and the dispatch board is a delay propagating outward.

The delay hits the driver, the importer, and the freight forwarder. One screen could prevent all of it.

Overlays your existing TMS and YMS. Live in 3 days.

Opsima does not replace Oracle TM, SAP, or Kaleris YMS. It captures unstructured yard communication and feeds structured records back in.

Integrates with Oracle TM, SAP, Kaleris YMS, Navis eModal

Chassis and yard equipment status flows into your existing systems. No migration.

No new tools for drivers, yard operators, or technicians

They communicate as normal. Opsima reads the output. No behavior change.

Handles mixed fleets of owned, leased, and third-party equipment

All equipment tracked on one board regardless of ownership. Attribution maintained in reporting.

Live in 3 days

No hardware. Connect to existing communication channels and see structured equipment data within 72 hours.

Questions from operations and maintenance teams

Can Opsima track third-party leased equipment alongside owned fleet?
Yes. All equipment is tracked by asset ID regardless of ownership. Leased and owned equipment appear on the same board with ownership attribution in reporting.
How does it handle chassis that move between multiple depots?
Opsima tracks chassis by ID. When a chassis is reported at a different depot via field communication, its location updates automatically.
Does it integrate with our existing YMS?
Yes. Opsima can feed structured equipment availability data into Kaleris, Navis, and other YMS platforms via API.
How does it work for 24/7 operations with rotating maintenance crews?
Opsima captures communication continuously. Every shift's updates are captured and timestamped automatically. The board is always current.
Can yard operators report issues directly through the same communication channels?
Yes. That is exactly how it works. Operators radio or message issues as they always have. Opsima reads those messages and creates structured records.

Real-time yard equipment visibility. Live in 3 days.

No hardware. No new tools for operators. No disruption to your TMS, YMS, or existing fleet systems.
