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 show which loads are next for each door, cannot find a specific trailer quickly, and cannot prove a carrier's wait when detention is disputed.
What beverage distribution yards actually need
- See which loads are next for each door on the door board, so trucks leave on time
- Live yard map to see every trailer's last logged spot on one screen
- Gate timestamps for inbound carrier detention
- Appointment booking to separate inbound from load-out
- Runs on iPhone, iPad and any web browser; offline in the iPhone app

Frequently asked
How does Vantage help early beverage load-out?
The door board shows which trailers are next for each door and the live yard map lets your team see every trailer's last logged spot on one screen, so route trucks are not held up waiting on the yard.
Can it keep inbound from clogging load-out?
Yes. Your team books inbound appointment windows in the web app, 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 it's designed to go live without an install project, with self-serve setup.
