WELCOME TO AUTO VENTIVE

Transform the yard into an automated, data-driven, integrated, and interconnected part of your supply chain with AutoVentive YMS.

Visibility

Real-time visibility of all yard assets and activities from a single location

Scalability

Whether a single yard, or numerous facilities across the globe, our YMS system is designed to scale to meet your needs

Within the automotive supply chain, the vehicle yard is the intersection of all the activities involved in the movement of a vehicle from the time it leaves the OEM production line until it reaches the dealer or the final customer. Besides the actual transport of the vehicle – which can be made by road, rail or sea – the vehicle yard is the focal point for the storage, post-production modification, maintenance, repair, and pre-delivery inspection of new vehicles. AutoVentive YMS is a secure, cloud-based yard management solution that automates and optimizes these critical processes.
