estimating a second time of arrival of a third vehicle, the third vehicle to collect the order; and selecting the first asset for the order based at least in part on the unloading time and the second time of arrival. ### Claim 13 A system comprising: one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: receiving first location data associated with a first vehicle delivering a first asset within a first container to a facility; determining, based at least in part on first sensor data, that an unloading area of the facility is occupied; determining, based at least in part on second sensor data associated with a yard of the facility, a location within the yard; sending instructions to a device associated with a delivery personnel associated with the first vehicle to deliver the container to the location; determining, based at least in part on third sensor data associated with the yard of the facility, the delivery of the container to the location;
