Leaders in yard management services and technology to collaborate to bring transparency and efficiency to hundreds of facilities in North America.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. & UNION CITY, Calif. - ColoradoDesk -- Lazer Spot, the largest provider of critical outsourced yard management services, and PINC, the number one digital yard™ management solution provider, today announced a partnership to bring enterprise visibility and operational excellence to facilities across North America.

Given the uncertainties with customer expectations and demands, unstable freight capacity, and ever-changing guidance from governments and public health authorities, trailer yards are playing a vital role as extensions of warehouses at distribution centers and manufacturing plants and as a mechanism to expedite shipments, support corporate sustainability goals, and reduce transportation costs.

Founded in 1996, Lazer Spot provides yard spotting, shuttling, trailer rentals and specialized yard services in 400+ locations in North America. PINC digital yard management solutions will empower Lazer Spot's teams to improve operational efficiency while providing a unique level of safety, visibility, and services to its enterprise customers.
