Keller Logistics Group has introduced a groundbreaking solution for yard management with its proprietary system, YardLink™, designed to enhance efficiency and operational excellence. This development, announced on November 25, 2025, marks a significant advancement in the field, combining software and yard services into a single, integrated system.
According to a report by Gartner®, the logistics industry faces challenges such as rising costs, labor constraints, and increasing carrier charges. In response, Keller Logistics Group has created a hybrid model that integrates yard services with cutting-edge technology. YardLink™ aims to simplify complex yard operations by providing real-time visibility, automation, and analytics, all supported by Keller’s extensive network of spotting, shuttling, and yard operations across North America.
Jonathan Wolfrum, President of Keller Trucking, emphasized the importance of timing in this launch, stating, “With Gartner Inc. recognizing the growing need for yard automation, integration, and AI-enabled systems, we think that Keller’s timing is ideal.” He highlighted that YardLink™ effectively bridges the gap between traditional yard operations and modern logistics technology, offering shippers and manufacturers a faster path to optimization.
The company is also looking to enhance YardLink™ through collaboration with EAIGLE, a leader in AI-enabled vision systems. This partnership aims to improve automated gate entry, trailer visibility, and dock optimization. A pilot project is being planned to showcase measurable improvements in throughput, dwell time reduction, and overall carrier performance.
Bryan Keller, CEO of Keller Logistics Group, remarked on the uniqueness of their approach. “Keller is uniquely positioned to redefine the yard management category,” he stated. “Most competitors are either pure software or pure service. Our hybrid model, where technology is built by the same team that runs the yard, delivers a level of reliability and transparency that software alone can’t match.”
In addition to the launch of YardLink™, Keller Logistics Group plans to release a series of thought leadership articles focused on emerging trends in yard management systems (YMS), particularly regarding AI, Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Transportation Management System (TMS) integration, as well as cost-efficiency through automation.
With this new offering, Keller Logistics Group reinforces its commitment to providing innovative and operationally excellent solutions for the logistics challenges of today. The integration of advanced technology with hands-on operational expertise positions the company as a leader in the logistics sector.
