YMX Logistics, a leading national third-party logistics provider specializing in integrated yard logistics for enterprise shippers, announced the expansion of its Yard Operating System (YOS), YMX OS, introducing new capabilities to automate data capture, analysis, decision making, and deliver autonomous yard operations across multi-site networks.
In addition to these capabilities, YMX is introducing a new commercial pricing model designed to better align with measurable performance outcomes. Traditional yard outsourcing models have largely been structured around labor, equipment, or hourly-based pricing, often resulting in limited visibility into true operational efficiency and cost drivers. YMX OS introduces a more structured approach, moving away from transactional pricing toward a performance-aligned model tied to execution and system efficiency.
“What’s been missing in yard operations isn’t more tools. It’s a system that connects execution to measurable outcomes,” said Matt Yearling. “The Yard Operating System standardizes how yards are run, allowing enterprise shippers to continuously improve transportation and warehousing performance, resulting in major financial, sustainability, and safety gains across their networks.”

The model has already been deployed in large-scale operating environments. At one of the largest distribution centers operated by a top-five U.S. grocery retailer, implementation of YMX OS resulted in a reduction of yard truck fleet requirements, alongside improvements in throughput and safety performance. Fuel consumption, emissions, and operating costs declined, and within six months, the retailer expanded the program to nine additional facilities.
“Most yard operations today are managed as labor-driven functions rather than controlled systems,” said Erin Mitchell, Chief Operating Officer of YMX Logistics. “By standardizing execution, instrumenting the yard with digital intelligence, and aligning operations to performance outcomes, we’re giving enterprise shippers the most predictable and measurable way to operate one of the most challenging parts of their network.”
“In an era defined by global volatility, yard operations can no longer remain a dark spot in the supply chain,” said Bart De Muynck, industry expert and founder of Better Supply Chains. “What YMX has built is a new operating model for the yard. By converging physical execution with digital intelligence, their teams are enabling autonomous orchestration and continuous optimization, giving enterprise shippers predictable performance and genuine resilience across their distribution networks.”
