These systems provide real-time information about the location of trailers within the yard further assisting yard employees in movement of trailers from staging to the docks fulfilling orders in an efficient manner. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology may also be built in these systems for faster and more accurate tracking of the trucks. By involving all supply chain partners within this process provides more visibility into requested, scheduled or rescheduled dock appointments. The global market for dock and yard management system has been segmented on the basis of type, application and geography. Based on types, the global market has been segmented into warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation management systems (TMS) among others. Transportation & logistics, grocery, manufacturing, retailing and parcel post among others form the major application areas for this market globally.

Global dock and yard management systems market on the basis of geography has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa.

The online appointment scheduling for the trailers and carriers has been a major advantage for this market driving the overall growth. Use of dock and yard management systems allow vendors to book appointments in dock over the web along with monitoring the real time status of the shipment that has been another major driver for this market. Application of these systems further allows inbound coordinators to prioritize their shipments, configure prioritization rules, refuse carrier requests and automate the constraints related to the scheduling process. Moreover, these systems also monitors load leveling of the goods flow to the respective dock resources. The historical data analysis, compliance tracking along with improved visibility to the inbound supply has been a few other factors to contribute in the rising demand of this market. With all the respective drivers, presence of certain restraints pose challenges for the market growth as well. Some of these factors include the chances of human errors, mishandling of information received along with wrong interpretation of real time information that is likely to provide challenges in the market growth. Besides all these drivers and restraints, it is the growing demand for well-defined shipment tracking and management systems for monitoring the growth of traffic in ship yards that is expected to provide growth opportunities for this market in the coming years.

Geographically, North America followed by Europe formed some major regions contributing to the market growth. Application of real-time information for increasing the process efficiency as well as cost-effectiveness related with these systems has been some of the major drivers for this market. Asia Pacific accounted as one of the fastest growing region for this market globally. South Korea, China, Japan and India among others are some of the major countries contributing to the growth. The rise in demand for automated systems to monitor the shipments along with growing of transportation in waterways has been a few important factors to help in the market growth.
