The Issue
Late Deliveries and long laytimes cost money, plain and simple. How much are you paying for demurrage?
Modern logistics is a high-pressure industry. With the increases in fuel costs, congestion on the roads, increasing safety concerns and ever tightening delivery schedules, distribution centres and logistics companies must continually strive for efficiency gains to maintain their competitiveness.
Distributors must know that their assets are being used effectively at 100%, and not have staff or vehicles waiting around through miscommunication or lack of information. Wasted resource in playing ‘catch up’ with issues that arise and non prevention of demurrage situations all absorb time and ultimately money.
The Solution
The Displays will change colour based on time parameters in your control, and clearly highlight where resources are required in real time.
We design and commission real time bay information displays that assist your team leaders in the management of the despatch area. The large LED displays are very visual and eye catching, clearly highlighting the status of the loading or unloading in real time, allowing you to instantly allocate resources to ensure the despatch time is met, every time.

The software is web based, and can be used on Windows™, Android™, Apple™ and other Tablet devices. All information can be exported in a number of file formats to suit your requirements. Non prevention of demurrage situations absorbs time and ultimately money.
The system can also be stand alone using dedicated servers and hardware, to allow for simpler I.T. installation.
SMS and Email alerts to the status of bays are also features of the software, instantly communicating issues to important parties allowing for immediate call to action.
