YMX Logistics Named to Shortlist for The Supply Chain Operations Award from the Supply Chain Excellence Awards

Redefined Yard Operations With Optimized Operations and Technology Enablement

HENDERSON, Nev., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- YMX Logistics, a national leader in integrated yard logistics, including gate management, spotting and shuttling services, trailer rentals, and yard management technology solutions, announces the company has been shortlisted for the Supply Chain Excellence Awards USA in the Supply Chain Operations category. YMX Logistics was chosen to be shortlisted for optimizing operational efficiency, enhancing supply chain visibility, and creating a safer working environment for a Fortune 500 company and one of the five largest grocery retailers in the US.

"YMX redefined yard operations for this grocery retailer through a combination of optimized operations and technology enablement, empowering the retailer to gain greater control over its facility performance and empower third-party providers while reducing costs and fostering safer, more efficient yard operations at the distribution center," says Matt Yearling, CEO, YMX Logistics. "We are honored to be shortlisted in the Supply Chain Operations category for this prestigious award."

YMX Logistics' client faced critical inefficiencies in yard operations, resulting in delays in shipments, unnecessary costs, workforce instability, and safety risks at one of the largest and most complex facilities in the company's network. Unlike traditional yard logistics providers, which focus on maximizing contract value through truck rentals and labor sales, YMX offers a 360-degree perspective, taking a data-driven and operationally aligned approach to increase efficiency, drive cost savings, and enhance overall performance.

After conducting an in-depth site assessment, YMX implemented a comprehensive and tailored solution that included:

• Deploying new AC-equipped assets with preventive maintenance schedules to reduce downtime, minimize inoperable assets cluttering the yard, and improve driver safety and health.
• Implemented YMX OS proprietary technology solutions for effective execution management, real-time visibility, and labor and equipment optimization.
• Provided a formal driver training program through the YMX Spotting School to improve driver safety, service, and communication.
• Committed to direct-hire staffing with zero reliance on temporary labor.
• Improved yard check processes and provided real-time visibility into trailer inventory and yard activities to the customers' key stakeholders, enhancing collaboration and effectiveness between groups within the facility.

The results included operational efficiency, cost savings, and workforce retention. YMX was able to reduce the truck fleet size, cutting unnecessary equipment and labor expenses. Inventory discrepancies were eliminated. Safety was enhanced through extensive training. Driver retention was improved by enhancing working conditions and providing modern, well-maintained equipment. YMX helped the company transition from a manual yard management process to a tech-enabled, data-driven operation through the YMX OS. The retailer now plans to expand its partnership with YMX nationally.

The Supply Chain Excellence Awards, judged by a panel of top supply chain professionals, recognize innovation, supply chain excellence, outstanding business performance, and overall achievements for both supply chain service providers and users. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, in Miami at a glamorous black-tie event hosted by The Supply Chain Excellence Awards USA.
