Yard, warehouse, and WMS technology

Yards don't have to be chaos.

Chunker Container Solutions builds the yard, warehouse, and WMS tools the operators we used to be wish they'd had. Real software for real container operations.

Most container yards run on memory, radio calls, and luck.

You don't know where anything is.

Drivers radio in, dispatchers scribble locations, half the lot is “somewhere by the back fence.” Finding a specific container takes 20 minutes you don't have.

Gate moves are a black box.

Check-ins, check-outs, driver assignments, seal numbers — all of it lives in clipboards, spreadsheets, or three different systems that don't talk to each other.

Demurrage and per-diem eat your margin.

When you can't see what's aging on the lot, you can't act on it. Every day a container sits past free time is money you're paying.

Your WMS doesn't know about the yard.

Warehouse and yard are separate worlds. When a container is ready to unload, no one finds out until someone walks over and asks.

YMS

YMS: yard management built by people who've actually run one.

Chunker YMS gives you a live map of your yard, a clean gate workflow, and a direct line into your warehouse system. Drivers check in faster. Dispatchers stop guessing. Operations stops paying for containers they forgot were there.

Live yard visibility

Every container, every trailer, every slot, on one map. Move something, the map updates. Search by container number, seal, customer, or status.

Gate-to-grounding workflow

Check in drivers, capture seal numbers and photos, assign yard locations, all from a tablet at the gate. No paper, no double entry.

Aging and demurrage tracking

See what's been on the ground too long before it costs you. Set free-time rules per customer, get alerts before per-diem hits.

Built on Extensiv WMS

Your yard and your inventory, on one source of truth.

Chunker YMS is built directly on the Extensiv WMS platform. That means the container sitting in slot B-14 isn't a separate record in a yard spreadsheet — it's the same container your warehouse team sees in inventory, with every SKU, quantity, lot, and customer attached.

No nightly syncs. No "the YMS says one thing and the WMS says another." One database, one truth, updated the moment something moves.

One database

Yard moves, receipts, and shipments all write to the same Extensiv record.

Full container detail

Container number, seal, chassis, customer, contents, and status — all in one view.

Live inventory

When a container is grounded or stripped, inventory updates instantly across the platform.

Yard-aware WMS

Pickers and planners can see exactly which container holds what they need.

100% paperless, from gate to grounding.

No clipboards. No yard checks copied off a windshield. No driver paperwork getting lost between the gate and the office. Every check-in, move, and check-out is captured on a tablet and timestamped in the system the moment it happens.

  • Digital gate check-in with driver, carrier, and chassis capture
  • Tablet-driven yard moves with location, user, and timestamp
  • Searchable audit trail for every container, every event

Photo record of every container, every side, every seal.

At gate-in, your team captures photos of all four sides of the container plus a close-up of the seal — right from the tablet. Images attach directly to the container record, so the condition and seal integrity at arrival are always on file.

Damage disputes, claims, and chain-of-custody questions get answered in seconds — not days of digging through email.

The container journey doesn't end at the gate.

Containers get grounded, but eventually they have to be unloaded — and the warehouse is where the real margin lives or dies. We build software and offer consulting for that side of the operation too, because we've been on that side too.

Warehouse Software

Warehouse software that fits the warehouse you actually have.

SmartOrder

PDF orders, parsed automatically into your WMS.

Your customers send orders as PDFs. Your team retypes them into Extensiv. SmartOrder reads the PDF, extracts the order, and pushes it into your WMS — accurately, every time. Stop paying people to be human OCR.

Extensiv Customization

We make Extensiv do what your operation actually needs.

Extensiv is powerful, but out of the box it doesn't match every operation. We build the integrations, custom workflows, reports, and API connections that make Extensiv fit your business — not the other way around.

Consulting

You bought a WMS. Now make it earn its keep.

Most warehouses use a fraction of what their WMS can do. We sit with your team, watch how you actually move freight, and rebuild your WMS configuration around the way your operation really works. The result is fewer clicks, less retraining, and a system your people stop fighting.
