Manhattan Active Yard Management

What Manhattan Active Yard Management is

Manhattan Active Yard Management is a yard operations system for warehouse and distribution centers coordinating inbound and outbound goods with warehouse and transportation activity. Its graphical view brings dock doors, yard positions, trailer locations, expected arrivals and trailer contents into one place. The system prioritizes trailers and assigns them to dock doors using putaway travel, warehouse shortages, and cross-dock or flow-through demand. Those assignments coordinate with receiving, putaway, staging and loading work in the warehouse.

For inbound loads, pre-receipt allocation supports cross-dock and flow-through processing, with configurable workflows for live and drop loads. The product is designed to reduce dwell time and work with Manhattan Warehouse Management and Transportation Management. Its cloud-native, API-first ActivePlatform supports REST APIs, synchronous HTTP and asynchronous messaging. Manhattan Active solutions receive automatic feature updates every 90 days and run on Google Cloud in a multi-tenant subscription model. The stated security program includes continuous monitoring and response, encryption, documented incident response and third-party penetration testing. ActivePlatform applications are in scope for SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3 audits. Yard Management documentation, microservice APIs and extension points are available to developers. Pricing is on request; Warehouse Management users can add it at no cost, while Transportation Management users pay an additional fee.
