What Does ZF Expect to Solve with Our Solution?

  • Visibility: ZF faced challenges in visibility regarding arrivals, driver registration, and current site capacity, impacting their ability to direct drivers efficiently.
  • Communication: Language barriers can lead to communication issues, especially with truck drivers unfamiliar with English or Dutch during the registration process.
  • 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.
