Any logistics flow, whether inbound, outbound, or other, has predetermined steps. Without process automation, it can be difficult to safeguard these steps. For example, drivers often leave without the truck being weighed a second time, which is a seemingly small mistake, but the costs of such omissions can quickly add up.
Peripass yard management software automates all contact points with drivers for each logistics flow, from identification upon arrival to printing documents to fully automatic truck weighing. With a YMS you can secure and improve any logistic process.
With the Business Rules Engine, you can automate and standardise recurring tasks based on predefined rules. Automation is something anyone can start doing. You don’t need to know coding, and you don’t need to wait for a software development process. If something changes, you can easily make adjustments and build your workflow once you decide what you want to automate.
With the triggers and actions for asset management, automating all tasks is easier than ever. Trailer or container moves are predefined based on your company’s workflow, so operators can move through their work with ease.
On the dispatching dashboard, you can automate some flows with auto-dispatch. The predefined types of visitors can be dispatched as soon as their designated next step opens up. If you, for example, want the next truck in the queue to get assigned a dock as soon as one opens up, you can create a flow with auto-dispatch.
You can easily automate truck communication and check-ins for simple and standard logistics flows. Save time and automate recurring flows like daily transports, regular external carriers, internal transports, waste and recycling.
Manage queue capacity at peak moments or for locations with limited space or complicated traffic flows.
With yard management software, you can easily define your priorities for calling drivers to the nearest parking: FIFO, LAFO, or based on the time scheduled in your WMS, TMS, or ERP system.
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:
