Shunter operations

Easily assign tasks to shunters with the mobile app

Radio communication and printed lists are still the most common ways to organise the tasks for tractors, shunters, or spotters. However, feedback from these operators is crucial for noting damaged assets, incorrect locations, or forgotten trailers.

With Peripass, all in-field tasks are centralised in the platform and automatically pushed to the mobile app. This makes assigning new tasks and priorities easy as they pop up during the day. Now, both the operator and dispatcher save time. All feedback and data from the operator are sent to the dispatcher and saved according to the specified format within your yard management software.

  • Improve operator velocity & volume
Thanks to digitisation, an operator can complete more tasks and more easily pivot to a new priority, while the dispatcher's administrative burden is lower.
  • Radio communication becomes unnecessary
With the mobile app, spotty and unreliable radio communication can be avoided. Tasks can be easily managed, and shunters can avoid waiting for new instructions.
  • High-quality, structured feedback
The operator can provide feedback on tasks immediately. Damaged or dirty trailer? Easily add a picture to the task, which is automatically synced with Peripass.

Benefit from our innovative Yard Management features

Yard Task Management

Bring all tasks together in a mobile app for logistics operators and automate processes around quality and security. Perform quality control, take photos of damage, register seal numbers, move trailers, do 7-point checks… The Yard Operator App creates an easy-to-follow checklist for your operators.

With the new triggers and actions for Asset Management, your yard tasks get completed quicker and more efficiently. New tasks will only appear in the App when the previous one is completed. Digitise task lists for operational yard tasks simply and fast.

Workflow automation

With the Business Rules Engine, you can automate and standardise recurring tasks based on predefined rules. This allows for smooth communication, easily granting and revoking access, quick truck call-ups, synchronising information with other systems, etc.

With the triggers and actions for asset management, automating all tasks is easier than ever. The moves of trailers or containers are predefined based on your company’s workflow. Operators can move through their work with ease thanks to automation.

Define flows for your assets to improve your logistics site

Optimise your logistics flow by defining the possible active workflows on your site. An example of such a flow is shunter drivers moving empty trailers to loading docks, where truck drivers pick them up once loaded. Based on these predetermined flows, you create a set of triggers and actions. All workflows can be configured in your business rules engine.

You simply define what action happens after:

  1. an asset’s status changes (e.g. “empty” to “loaded”)

  2. an asset’s location changes (e.g. from “expected” to “dropped off at a parking spot”)

  3. when a task related to an asset is finished (e.g. trailer was moved from the dock to a parking spot).
