Queues of cars waiting in front of the company, drivers complaining about long reception time, loading rush, increasing number of gatehouse staff and unused storage capacity with the lack of movement are basic problems of many companies which deal with heavy circulation of trucks and which themselves manage the surface around the company.

Do well-planned time windows have an influence on timely delivery?

Optilo allows you to carefully plan time windows for loading and unloading. The result is optimal use of existing enterprise resources, flexible management of time windows in season and out of season, and minimisation of unnecesary pile-ups in service. Predictable and efficient course of processes and the possibility to early determine expected load are another elements that affect the quality of planning across the supply chain.

Minimisation of pile-ups and puctuality

Online reservations depending on availability of time windows, management of the order of loading and unloading, and facility of planning the whole movement of vehicles on the premises. Elimination of downtimes, punctual loading/unloading and reduction of wasted time.

Increased safety level on premises

Reducing the time associated with the identification of driver and means of transport. Limiting the risks associated with the entry of persons/vehicles previously not registered and trained.

Efficient handling of loadings and unloadings

Reduction of workload and increase of efficiency of operations related to handling the whole process, from registration, to the moment of departure of a vehicle from company premises.

Monitoring and alarming about deviations from schedule

Immediate information about delays and deviations from arrivals/departures schedule. Notification of customers well in advance of possible delays in delivery.

Increased level of driver service

Assignment of tasks associated with notification to a service subcontractor, direct communication with a driver (SMS, mobile application), and reminding forwarders for being on time – reduces traffic jams and long hours of waiting at the gate.

Integration with storage and weight-measuring devices

Assignment of tasks associated with notification to a service subcontractor, direct communication with a driver (SMS, mobile application), and reminding forwarders for being on time – reduces traffic jams and long hours of waiting at the gate
