Yard management for beverage distribution.
Beverage distribution runs on early, high-volume load-out and tight route windows. Vantage times the gate, shows the yard live, and keeps the dock fed so route trucks roll on schedule. On a phone, from $149/mo.
A beverage distributor loads out early and fast, with route trucks that have to leave on time and inbound that cannot clog the same gate. A yard tracked on a clipboard cannot pre-stage the next loads, cannot find a specific trailer quickly, and cannot prove a carrier's wait when detention is disputed.
What beverage distribution yards actually need
- Pre-stage route loads so trucks leave on time

- Appointment booking to separate inbound from load-out
- Offline-first, works on any phone

Frequently asked
How does Vantage help early beverage load-out?
Pre-staging keeps the next loads ready at the door and the live yard map lets your team find any trailer in seconds, so route trucks are not held up waiting on the yard.
Can it keep inbound from clogging load-out?
Yes. Inbound carriers self-book appointment windows, keeping delivery arrivals separate from the early morning load-out rush at the same gate.
What is the cost and setup time?
Published pricing from $149/month, no setup fee, and because there is no hardware you can be live in a day with self-serve setup.
