Yard management
Addressing by lane and slot, not by generic area: every vehicle has an address. The yard can be bonded, when the operation must comply with customs, or non-bonded.
Port logistics
YMS Autoport, the yard under control
An automotive logistics platform for the Roll-on/Roll-off model. It controls the yard, quality, PDI, loading and distribution over a single vehicle record, from the end of the production line to delivery at the dealer. Access is private per terminal.

ROROImport and export
The vehicle arrives the way it left the plant. And the system proves it.
For vehicle manufacturers, shipping lines, terminals and hauliers moving rolling cargo, where every change of hands is a point at which liability can go missing.
Every change of hands is a blind spot
- Damage is recorded at the destination, nobody knows at which stage it happened, and the bill is settled by negotiation instead of by evidence.
- A chassis goes missing somewhere in the yard and four people stop to look for it.
- A batch release stalls over a paperwork issue that had been visible for three weeks, inside a spreadsheet nobody opened.
- It is not a lack of systems. It is a surplus of systems that do not talk to each other, each holding one piece of the same vehicle's history.
What changes with YMS Autoport
01
The chassis is the single record: read once, the system already knows model, weight and dimensions, and that is what decides the slot in the yard, the position on the deck and the place on the truck.
02
Damage is photographed in the app, identified by artificial intelligence and returned already quoted. What used to be typing becomes checking.
03
Every change of hands records who received the vehicle, when and in what condition. That is what holds up the transfer of liability.
04
Customs events filed from the operational record itself, with no second entry and no supporting spreadsheet.
From the ship's ramp to the yard gate
Every stage enters the system with a timestamp and an owner. Recording those handovers is what makes the operation auditable and the vehicle findable.
- 01
Arrival
The vehicle comes off the ship and enters the system at the moment of discharge.
- 02
Inspection
Damage is recorded with a photo and priced on the spot, with responsibility documented.
- 03
Yard
Position, dwell time and customs holds are visible on the dashboard.
- 04
Departure
Loading or car carrier, with the movement recorded like every one before it.
Six modules over a single database
The modules are not separate systems swapping files. They are views of the same record, which is why nothing is lost moving from one stage to the next.
Quality control
The checker inspects, scans the chassis and photographs the damage in the app. Artificial intelligence identifies the damage and returns the quote.
PDI management
The vehicle's configuration becomes a work order automatically. Each part fitted is confirmed, so the order closes with what was actually installed.
Ship stowage plan
Storage by deck, showing on each level which vehicles come off at which destination. On board, the master vehicle is locked and blocks the rest of the deck.
RFID middleware
Strategic points identify each vehicle passing on their own. We deliver the whole set: antennas and portals, tags and the middleware already built into the platform.
Distribution and transport
The truck leaves the yard and the system knows which vehicles are on it, in what position and bound for which destination, with transit time tracked to arrival.
All rolling cargo, and the space each one takes
Cars, vans, trucks, buses, motorcycles and heavy machinery. A bus does not take up the same space as a motorcycle, and the occupancy calculation has to know that.
Six roles look at the same vehicle with different questions
Information is recorded once, where it happens, and stays available to whoever has permission to see it.
Vehicle manufacturers
Tracking from the end of the production line, assembly requests turning into work orders on their own, and nationwide distribution on the same base.
Shipping lines
Deck plan, closing out on board level by level, and damage identified by AI from the photo, with a quote and the time it originated.
Shipping agents
The list by vessel and by destination, followed without a phone call, in the same place the terminal and the carrier look.
Port operators
Control by lane and slot, automated passage through RFID and productivity tracked on the portal.
Bonded terminals
Customs events filed from the operational record itself, with no second entry and no supporting spreadsheet.
Hauliers
Chassis invoicing to the dealer network, car carriers identified, vehicles read by plate and the transport document generated from the load.
The dashboard the operation sees
Vehicles discharged, inspected, damaged and held by customs, with the hourly count and the pickup by checkpoint. The terminal's client reads the same dashboard without having to call.
Where the platform connects
Customs events triggered by the operation itself
RFID at strategic points, with no stops and no manual entry
ERPs and port systems, by API or by file
Real-time portal and a field app that works offline
Access by role and an audit trail on every change
Practices aligned with data protection and port and customs compliance

Questions about YMS Autoport
See every questionIt is Singlec's automotive logistics platform for the Roll-on/Roll-off model. It controls the yard, quality, PDI, loading and distribution over a single vehicle record, from the end of the production line to delivery at the dealer. It has been in operation since 2018 and more than two million vehicles have gone through it.
All rolling cargo: cars, vans, trucks, buses, motorcycles and heavy machinery. Once the chassis is read, the system already knows the manufacturer, model, type, weight and dimensions, and that data decides the slot in the yard, the position on the ship's deck and the place on the truck.
Yes. Events are triggered by the operation itself, filing cargo presence and the bonded area's legal compliance through the customs API, with no parallel data entry. The yard can be bonded or non-bonded.
It does. The checker's app works offline and syncs when the connection comes back. The web portal updates in real time, and both work over the same base.
No. RFID is an optional module, switched on when the operation needs it. When it does, we deliver the whole set: the antenna and portal infrastructure, the tags and the middleware already built into the platform.
No. We build the software that controls both. Our clients are the ones running them, and that distinction matters: every product decision was tested against dust, haste and a weak signal.
