For Vendors · Yard Management
Meet clients who did the work before the first call.
PreShiftIQ™ connects your yard management product with clients (the companies evaluating technology) across the supply chain ecosystem, distribution centers, plants, 3PLs, carrier terminals, and port and drayage yards that move trailers and containers through the gate, who have completed a structured assessment of their requirements. Both sides arrive at discovery prepared, and the match is built on measured fit.
What you get
Qualified, documented leads
Every client arrives having documented the operations its yard runs and how much of each, its gate transactions and yard moves, its yard size, the customer accounts it serves, and the WMS and dock systems you would need to integrate with. You receive their stated requirements, including their non-negotiables, before the first conversation.
Both sides prepared
No cold discovery. The client knows what they need and you know it too, so the first call starts where a normal sales cycle gets to on call three.
Participatory accuracy
Your scorecard is how clients see your fit. You can engage to keep it accurate, because a reference layer only works when the vendors in it are represented accurately.
How the model works
PreShiftIQ is vendor-funded and client-aligned: vendors pay for outcomes, never for influence. One published rate, the same for every vendor in every category.
5% of first-year subscription value
- No fee to participate, no fee to be scored, no fee to appear in match results, and no fee to accept a match.
- You pay only when a client you were matched with pays you. Nothing is owed before that.
- The rate is published and not negotiated, so no vendor has a better deal than you. No placement fees, no sponsored slots.
- No commercial arrangement alters a vendor's scorecard, match eligibility, or match score. Those are determined solely by measured fit against a client's requirements.
The rate and the boundary are published at How We Are Paid.
The alignment is enforced, not promised.
Client trust is the asset every vendor is paying to reach, so we do not ask anyone to take the alignment on faith. It is built into the platform and recorded.
Matching is payment-blind by construction
What a vendor pays never enters the scoring path. The engine that computes fit has no access to billing or fee data, so a vendor's economics cannot reach the match even in principle.
Every decision is on the record
Each scoring decision is written to an immutable, time-stamped record that names the actor behind it. The platform can demonstrate that a score was computed from measured fit and nothing else.
This is what client-aligned means in practice, because the money never touches the match and the record proves it. It is the same standard that protects you, since no competitor can buy a place on a shortlist you earned on fit.
How matching works
PreShiftIQ runs disqualification-first matching, so a vendor that cannot operationally serve a client is removed before scoring begins and the client never sees a match that cannot work. Matching never penalizes a vendor for data we have not measured yet, and it gates only on something a vendor is known to lack. A vendor that cannot run the yard operations a client rates as core (High) is excluded before scoring begins. The other requirements a client states add weight to the vendors that cover them, and remaining fit is scored across the assessed dimensions.
What you see as a vendor
You see only your own standing and your own leads. No vendor can ever see another vendor's scorecard, scores, or client leads, because every vendor's view is fully isolated.

Watch points
The busiest site runs two shifts at the gate, so a cutover cannot close the gate during a weekday.
Non-negotiable requirements
Live trailer location across all four yards. Gate check-in that works for drivers without the app.
Sample data shown for illustration. You receive the client's complete requirements assessment, and selections the client marked confidential in the assessment are never released to any vendor. Outreach is governed by the mutual NDA executed at onboarding, and client information may not be resold, shared, or re-exposed to any third party.
Screens are illustrative and use sample data. A real client's identity and requirements are revealed to you only after you accept the lead.
The reference layer for yard management selection
PreShiftIQ maintains the canonical reference layer for yard management selection, with 38 vendors mapped across the category, and being represented accurately in that layer is how serious clients find and evaluate you. Vendors who engage help keep their own scorecard precise, which is the fastest path to a well-matched lead.
Getting started
- Create your vendor profile at app.preshiftiq.com and claim your yard management product.
- Complete your vendor scorecard so your fit is measured accurately across the assessment dimensions.
- Review your scorecard with the PreShiftIQ team in a working session, so your product is represented accurately before any client sees it.
- Receive qualified, documented client leads matched to your product on measured fit.
Bring your team in. You can invite collaborators to help complete and manage your scorecard, and you control who has access. Every collaborator is scoped to your account only, so inviting your team never exposes your information to another vendor.
A mutual NDA is executed at onboarding.
