How it works

How Flowyard controls site flow

Flowyard connects capacity-aware booking links, partner self-service changes, and current booking visibility so busy sites can control the day without turning every change into manual coordination. Movement-record and operational-record capabilities remain part of the roadmap direction.

Workflow

From capacity planning to flow improvement

1

Plan capacity

Configure opening windows, capacity bands, resources, and exception days before the dock or yard fills up.

2

Open controlled booking access

Give suppliers, carriers, and visitors a public booking path that only exposes slots the site can support.

3

Coordinate inbound and outbound moves

Partners can book, rebook, or cancel within site rules while teams see what is coming in and what is leaving.

4

Run the yard and dock day

Operational visibility keeps the day oriented around arrivals, departures, capacity pressure, and progress at the dock.

5

Capture the movement record

The direction is to bring timestamps, notes, exceptions, documents, proof, and completion context into one record.

6

Improve the flow

The movement record can feed into reporting, CO2, compliance, and integration-ready improvement work over time.

Shipped capability

The flow starts with shipped booking and capacity controls

Capacity rules

Weekday windows, capacity bands, resources, and date exceptions keep booking access inside what the site can handle.

Partner self-service

Booking links and management links let partners book, rebook, or cancel without another planner call.

Operational visibility

Admin teams keep a current view of locations, bookings, resources, and read-only booking progress.
