Halfway Through the Year: Is Your Yard Set Up for a Strong Second Half?

June 24, 20252 min read

As June comes to a close, it marks more than just the arrival of hotter weather—it signifies the halfway point of the year. For self-serve and hybrid auto yards, this is a natural time to reflect: Are we on track with our goals, or has momentum started to fade?

If you're still relying on outdated tools, manual workarounds, or legacy systems like CRUSH, now may be the moment to pause and reassess. Consider the following:

  • Are your employees spending more time managing spreadsheets than helping customers?

  • Are missing receipts or vague records costing you repeat business?

  • Do you have a clear, real-time view of your inventory—or are you still relying on guesswork?

If any of those questions resonate with you, you're not alone—and you’re not without options.

Introducing YardSmart: Designed for the Modern Yard

YardSmart is a cloud-based yard management platform built to help you run leaner, faster, and more profitably—without the complexity and costs of traditional software.

Here’s how YardSmart is helping yards modernize before year’s end:

  • No servers required. YardSmart runs entirely in your web browser—eliminating the need for local hardware or IT support.

  • Smart POS features. Track sales history using just a phone number. Reprint receipts instantly and enhance the customer experience with ease.

  • Real-time inventory online. With YardConnect Pro, your vehicles can be displayed live on your website, eliminating the need for manual updates.

  • Integrated surcharging. YardSmart’s built-in tool helps you offset up to 70% of your credit card processing fees, automatically and in full compliance.

The Window Is Still Open

With July 1 just around the corner, there’s still time to make changes that impact your bottom line in the second half of the year—not next year. Most yards we work with share the same feedback: “We wish we had switched sooner.”

Don’t let the rest of 2025 slip by in reactive mode. Let us show you what’s possible.
