Logistic management in terminal traffic for works and industrial railways
Freight rail suppliers operating within a terminal as freight carriers that collect and distribute wagons and unit loads destined for different terminals and customer locations make high demands when it comes to the organization and implementation of the logistics process. Shunting trips must be processed on time, reliably and safely, using as few resources as possible in the shortest possible time. Various company units, customers and systems must be directly incorporated into the logistics process and supplied with information. On the other hand, those involved provide valuable information for an effective management of the transport. Subsequent tasks such as detailed invoicing of the service provided and effective controlling are just as important.
The zedas®cargo solution for goods traffic has been specially designed to meet these requirements and integrates the following functional blocks:
- logistics management of terminal traffic
- accounting of services
- mobile computing
A specialized, experienced team comprising rail consultants, software designers and system integrators at PC-Soft ensure the smooth introduction of the software solution. For some years now, we have been managing the works logistics for several customers within the fields of energy, steel and chemicals and we were able to verifiably increase the efficiency of their transport operations. A key role is assumed in this context by the mobile support of the staff because especially here there are several positive effects with regard to process organization/communication, right up to an improvement in operational reliability.
