Our Systems Integration capabilities are widely used by our clients and offer tremendous benefits to the end users, accuracy, and automation.

We continue to develop our program to remain the premier solution amongst Yard Management providers and work with our clients to satisfy new requirements.

Jim Harris Founder of YardView

Jim Harris

Founder

Jim Harris, founder of Cypress Inland Corporation and creator of YardView, had over 40 years of Transportation and Logistics experience when he saw a problem that needed to be addressed. It was 1995 and while consulting for a Fortune 500 Retailer, he saw a system in place to help them manage trailers when in the Yard. He noticed the tool could be very helpful, but also that this particular solution caused some problems. For example- It wasn’t easy to use, the end users couldn't easily adopt it in their process, and it wasn’t customize-able to meet the unique requirements of the site. As a computer savvy and early adopter of technology all his life, Jim knew he could design something superior. With decades of operations management and industry experience, coupled with his genius  approach to software design, he created YardView- A program that was extremely flexible to fit a wide variety of operations and processes, but remained simple and easy to use. Hence- YardView was born.
