See Your Yard. In Real Time.

Finding a unit in a crowded yard should not take 30 minutes and a walkie-talkie. Cogent Beacon uses location intelligence to give you a live view of every unit across your yard — so you can find, move, and dispatch units faster than ever.

Intelligence at the Yard Level

Precision Unit Location

Know the exact position of every unit in your yard. No more walking rows looking for a VIN. Search, locate, and dispatch in seconds.

Live Yard Map

A real-time visual map of your yard showing unit positions, available spaces, and traffic flow. See the entire operation at a glance from any device.

Dwell Time Monitoring

Track how long each unit has been in the yard. Identify units exceeding target dwell times and take action before they become aged inventory.

Automated Alerts

Set custom alerts for gate activity, unauthorized movement, dwell time thresholds, and capacity limits. Stay informed without constantly monitoring screens.

Gate Activity Tracking

Log every unit entering and leaving your yard with timestamps and driver information. Complete accountability for every gate transaction.

Throughput Analytics

Measure yard efficiency with data on turns per space, average processing time, and peak capacity utilization. Optimize operations with actionable metrics.

Visibility That Drives Efficiency

Cogent Beacon transforms your yard from a black box into a transparent, data-driven operation. When you know where everything is, everything moves faster.

  • Reduce unit search time to seconds
  • Eliminate manual yard checks
  • Optimize space utilization
  • Speed up dispatch and delivery
  • Full audit trail of yard activity

End-to-End Visibility

Beacon integrates with Shuttle and Storage to provide a complete view from the moment a unit enters your ecosystem to the moment it leaves.

Faster Turns

When you can locate and move units in seconds instead of minutes, yard throughput increases and customers get their units faster.
