From waiting lines and language barriers to dock assignment mixups: your logistics site is probably home to a number of pain points that add up to one thing: inefficiency. Do away with all of it by streamlining the underlying flows of information. Our Welcome Terminal Accelerator brings you the benefits of logistics process automation faster than ever.
From communication hassles and potentially unsafe conditions to time loss: logistics site inefficiencies can take a number of forms. In the majority of cases, automation and self-service can help eliminate process steps and digitalise data flows.
Efficient flows of people, goods and information in and out of your site help you safeguard your margins and keep customer relationships strong. Even more, knowing who is on your site and what they are doing isn’t simply important for operations; it is also essential to ensuring safety and efficient evacuations in the case of an incident.
There are four main objectives when it comes to optimizing logistics flows on site:
Imagining an optimised on-site logistics flow
In a perfect world – or a world where you’ve implemented our Welcome Terminal Accelerator – a truck arrives on site, and the driver checks in at an automated kiosk. In his language, he identifies the goods he is picking up, identifies himself, the truck and the company he works for. He can even perform a safety test – in his native tongue – to ensure he’s aware of all of the rules on site.
At the same time, the site guard, the planner and the operator are automatically informed of the truck’s arrival. The planner can then immediately assign the perfect dock to this particular driver, while the operator ensures a proper loading order.
After the driver is invited on site, loading/unloading processes take place and then he can check out using a digital kiosk. He validates that he performed the requested activities, digitally signs his documents and receives the other forms that he needs to hit the road. He’s on his way!
Flexso’s Welcome Terminal Accelerator was developed to achieve the ‘perfect’ on-site logistics flow. It is made up of three modular components:

Note: this package does not include any hardware. The accelerator was built from the ground up to be technology agnostic, making it simple for you to get the most out of the hardware investments you have already made. We can, however, offer expert hardware advice as well as strong cooperations with suplliers.
Not only are there significant usability and productivity benefits for logistics firms and their employees, our solution offers key IT and business benefits as well, including:
