PINC Solutions Introduces Carrier View

BERKELEY, CA – July 4, 2007 – PINC Solutions, leader in low-infrastructure, real-time asset visibility, introduces Carrier View, the latest addition to its Yard Hound Product Suite. Designed for rapid installation, Yard Hound uses inexpensive passive RFID tags to track the location and the status of trailers, to trace the movements of the yard trucks, and to provide a real-time picture of all yard activities via an intuitive, web-based application. Carrier View extends this capability to 3PL carriers, enabling, for the first time, the carriers to see the live status, history, and inventory of their assets at their customer’s site with Yard Hound. In order to assure data security, only assets belonging to the carrier are made visible.

Using the Carrier View Option, 3PL carriers can make dock appointments, set alerts based on status of their trailers, and gain real-time visibility into their assets at the customer sites – all via Yard Hound’s web-based user interface. This streamlining of information exchange between the carriers and their customers will provide further supply chain efficiencies to the customer, cost savings to the carriers, and allow both to improve on resource planning.

The full Yard Hound Product suite includes

- Reefer Monitoring for continuous live monitoring of refrigerated units (temperature and fuel level),
- Yard Hound Director for communicating moves to the yard truck drivers via an in-cab display system,
- PINC Gate for check-in and check-out of trailers at the yard gate, and
- Multi-site Visibility to gain insight into the efficiencies, trends, and other metrics across many distribution centers.
