[Terneuzen, Vlissingen, the Netherlands] – Verbrugge International, a prominent logistics service provider operating across multiple industries, has chosen Peripass as its partner to revolutionize yard management across three of its strategic locations in the Netherlands. With an impressive daily influx of trucks, Verbrugge International has embraced Peripass’s cutting-edge solutions to enhance visibility, communication, automation, and efficiency within their yard operations.
Verbrugge International: The Ideal Gateway to Europe
Verbrugge International is a well-established logistics service provider with a wealth of experience spanning various industries. Their strategic locations, unwavering customer focus, operational excellence, and uncompromising safety standards make them the go-to “gateway to Europe” for a range of businesses.
Transforming Yard Management: Addressing Key Challenges
Verbrugge International recognized several crucial challenges at their locations in Terneuzen, Vlissingen, and Zeeland. Peripass’s integrated solutions are tailored to address these issues effectively:
- Limited Visibility: The wish to get even more insight in terminal traffic to increase traffic efficiency.
- Language Barriers: Communication problems arise due to ever increasing language barriers. More and more of today’s truck drivers do not understand English or Dutch, making the registration process more challenging.
- Manual Workflows: A part of the processes relied on manual registration of data. This increases the risk of errors and due to the ever-increasing amount of data, more automated solutions are needed.
- Weighing Process: The weighing process was primarily manual. With new solutions this process can be automated.
- Real-Time Data: The wish to get even more insight in real-time data for arrivals and departures to optimize the yard management.
