Switch Happens: Key Takeaways from the FADRA Conference
The recent FADRA Conference in Florida was different from the large national shows many of us are accustomed to…BUT it revealed something important about the industry: the demand for modern solutions is accelerating.
Despite the event’s limitations, we had valuable conversations with yard owners and decision-makers who are ready to embrace smarter, faster, and more profitable ways of operating. This reinforced what we’ve believed all along: change is inevitable. The question isn’t if you’ll switch—it’s when.
Why “Switch Happens” Matters
At YardSmart, we launched the Switch Happens: Make It Smart campaign to highlight a truth every operator faces:
If your current system can’t keep up with growth, customer expectations, or profitability goals, a switch is coming.
The good news? We make that transition simple, strategic, and smart.
