"Peripass has offered additional support in providing the hardware."

“During the initial analysis sessions, we looked for possible solutions together with the Peripass consultants”

Flexibility, logistics knowledge and expertise

“In Willebroek, we had no clarity whatsoever about the possibility of an extra depot on an additional site. That’s why we ended up abandoning the implementation of Peripass in Willebroek. Peripass responded very well to our need for flexibility at ID Logistics. We experienced this as very positive. At the time, all help, and expertise was welcome. The logistics knowledge of Peripass’s implementation consultants, combined with their wealth of experience acquired on other projects, was maximally deployed to devise solutions for the optimization of processes for ID Logistics.

We also have a new customer in ‘s Hertogenbosch. So, we chose to implement Peripass at the new location. Later, we will look at when we can deploy Peripass in Willebroek or at another ID Logistics site in the Benelux. The aim is to equip all ID Logistics sites in the Benelux with Peripass. The users themselves are encouraging us to implement Peripass at every ID Logistics location. And that, of course, speaks volumes about the user-friendliness and benefits of Peripass.”

“We started from an existing situation that has many challenges and shifted to a modified situation where we could start from scratch, where you can design what you want, tailored to the site, and that provides a long-term solution. Where do we let the trucks enter the site? Where do they register? Where can they park? How do we start a new traffic management plan for the site? Here, Peripass’s knowledge and expertise was extremely useful.”

We immediately opted for a registration kiosk: drivers can register their cargo digitally themselves and we get real-time insight into the site. The big advantage of Peripass is that you can instantly see on the dispatch dashboard when trucks are expected. Plus, you also have an overview of which trucks have already arrived and which still need to be unloaded or dealt with. You have a constant overview of all trucks for that day, and you can fully anticipate everything, which is handy at peak times. That’s just one of the great advantages of the Peripass software.”

“ID Logistics works with self-developed Transport Management software and is connected to the Peripass platform to transmit transport data. All data entered in the kiosk by the driver is immediately visible in the Transport Management System so that we have an overview there of when trucks have arrived and so that we can make our reports. Peripass is directly linked to the TMS on this site.”

The logistic process

“At the site in Den Bosch we work for one customer with different flows: inbound, outbound and a separate container flow. We have deliberately kept the latter separate because the flexibility for containers needs to be very high. Containers are very often requested on demand. In order not to create a bottleneck, we opted, together with the consultants, to register containers via a separate ‘profile’ on the kiosk. Even if the containers are not scheduled for that day, they can still be admitted to the site at any time. Thanks to Yard Asset Management, it’s very easy to always have a real-time overview in order to know which container is where and what the status of that container is.

For inbound and outbound, the registration process is like this: the truck drives on to the barrier and the driver registers at the kiosk with the unique reference number. Next, the driver enters his mobile phone number for further communication on the site. Simple. We try to avoid as much as possible that drivers are not allowed to drive in. That’s why there’s a sort of emergency button: in extreme emergency, the dispatch can be contacted by telephone.”

Software and hardware implementation

“We’ve had a fantastic experience with the Peripass implementation consultant. He supervised the project from start to finish. Thanks to the step-by-step approach of the software, everything was brought to a successful conclusion very quickly. Peripass offered additional support by supplying the hardware provided by Securitas Netherlands. As a result, we have experienced very few moments of stress or worry. We feel that at Peripass they really know what they’re doing. And even though ID Logistics has opted for a completely new start-up on a different site than originally planned, we don’t have to lose any sleep over the Yard Management part of the total supply chain here at the site in ‘s Hertogenbosch. A very pleasant way of working, from the start.”

“During a Go-Live, Peripass is on site to ensure that everything runs smoothly from day one”

“Since the start of the process, there have also been some internal staff shifts within ID Logistics. At a certain point we had to zoom out a bit to make an initial analysis of the process and to get everyone back on the same page. New employees, who are currently involved in the project, need to be further trained so that their knowledge is at the right level. And to further roll out Yard Asset Management on the site.”

Visibility and transparency

“What’s very useful for users is that, thanks to Peripass, you can monitor your suppliers very transparently and can display information in a structured way. You quickly gain insight into all the information.

Drivers are required to enter their details accurately. For example, the drivers use a single registration number. This represents an absolute added value, because a lot of numbers are used in logistics. At ID Logistics, it’s super handy that you are dealing with one type of number. That makes it clear to everyone. While this can sometimes cause problems on other sites, this is not the case here. You have a single specific number that you can communicate.

By saving all time registrations on the platform, you avoid disputes about waiting times and such. The kiosk is also very strict. You cannot tell a whole story, it’s a yes or a no, and there’s no in-between. And the drivers are also addressed in the language that is familiar to them, which again creates extra added value. Here too, the knowledge of Peripass, how to translate certain words, is very important.”

“The Peripass users of ID Logistics are themselves asking when Peripass will be implemented on the other sites. It’s very positive to see how the project is being supported by the dispatchers to deploy it on other sites. This once again shows the strengths and user-friendliness of the Peripass platform.”

“The users of the platform are themselves asking to implement Peripass Yard Management in all other sites”

Next steps

“We are currently considering for the Benelux group on which site of the other seven locations we want to implement Peripass first. We want to investigate launching this at other sites, either with or without the Transport Management System. If Peripass is linked to the TMS, you can provide the Peripass platform with all the necessary data in a more structured way. At some sites, there is no TMS. There, we want to see which conditions must be met to allow Peripass to work autonomously or to link it to the WMS. The solutions are very diverse.”
