Terminal system integrations and work coordination tools

The terminal command receives linked cargo, capacity and work data from the systems in use. The actual quantities associated with the order are transmitted for accounting.

Arrival requests and their changes are not tied to the terminal's approved reception and loading capacity. The coordinator manually adjusts the arrival arrangements, and the gate and terminal teams can rely on different booking states.

How the solution works

  1. Bookings and arrivals data are linked to acceptance reservations approved by the terminal.
  2. The coordinator receives the loading and issue states and passes the pending approvals to the responsible enforcers.
  3. Confirmed service facts and corrections are transmitted for accounting, and unclear answers are reconciled with the original operations.

Key challenges

  • Terminal capacity and time windows managed fragmentedly
  • Location and state of the cargo fragmented
  • Terminal services accounting depends on manual records

Solution capabilities

Relationship between capacity endorsements

The coordinator sees the terminal's approved reception and loading capacity and pending arrival requests.

Linking cargo data

Container, batch or quantity identifiers are linked between the terminal system, order and external submissions according to the applicable accounting model.

Transmission of Transaction Outcomes

The approved movement of the cargo is transferred to the employees and partners involved. If there is no confirmation of receipt, the responsible employee receives the task of checking the transfer with the terminal system.

Coordination of job dependencies

Unprepared equipment, location or unfinished previous work shall be reported to the responsible principal. The load sequence shall be approved in the terminal works plan.

Issue Readiness

Physical availability is separated from the customer, customs, or other applicable authorization; the missing endorsement has a clear responsibility.

Transfer of Service Facts

The approved quantity, time and type of operation are linked to the order. Accounting receives the initial fact and its correction, and taxation checks the conditions in force.

Business context

Terminal capacity and time windows managed fragmentedly
Arrival requests and their changes are not tied to the terminal's approved reception and loading capacity. The coordinator manually adjusts the arrival arrangements, and the gate and terminal teams can rely on different booking states.
Location and state of the cargo fragmented
The terminal system confirms the location, quantity or status of the cargo in time does not reach the employees and partners handling the order. They correct the data by hand or use an outdated copy, although the terminal system already shows the change.
Terminal services accounting depends on manual records
The transaction performed has no confirmed quantity, time or connection to the service order, and the correction does not reach the settlement process. The basis of the account is restored by hand; some of the agreed services are omitted or the same event is retracted.
The terminal customer is explained the course of cargo and services
The customer needs to know what has been done, what further limits the issue and for what amount the service is calculated. Linked system data allows for answers based on actual events. A clearer course facilitates further cargo transportation and settlement issues.

Affiliate and Permit Sources
Cargo order, transfer documents and required issuance conditions.
The process of preparing and assigning the load equipment
The availability of the equipment has been verified, the task accepted and the validation of its performance.
Measuring and execution equipment
Approved movement or quantity of cargo with units of measurement, time and conditions.
Accounting for contracts and services
Existing commercial conditions, the fact of the operation and the associated correction.

Potential impact (%)

The ranges indicate an illustrative relative change in the metric under the stated assumptions. Results depend on the starting position and actual use of the solution. Percentages for different metrics must not be added together.

Work to check the location and quantity of cargo

16–42%Decreasing

This illustrative scenario assumes that 40-70% of information searches and repeated cross-checks can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 40-60%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable workload and the resulting change.

The employee's active search and repair time is compared by the volume of similar traffic.

Terminal services accounting mismatch repair work

12–36%Decreasing

This illustrative scenario assumes that 30-60% of manual data entry and handover work can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 40-60%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable workload and the resulting change.

The active time of reconciliation and correction of the facts of the service caused by the transmission is measured. The error of the TOS operation and the pricing error of the contract are marked separately from the non-compliance of the interface.

Conditional calculation scenarios. The assumptions have not been validated against client measurements.

When this solution is relevant

  • The employee is looking for a cargo system at the specified location, although it has already been moved for another task.
  • The bill is made from shift messages because the load carried out has no approved service and quantity connection.

Implementation requirements

Compatible freight codes, statuses of works, and records required. Data transmission must keep locations and quantities confirmed in the terminal system. Predicts how corrections are handled, recognizes re-notifications, and verifies records after a connection failure.

Further development options

  • Addition of an additional cargo type after verification of its quantity and capacity model
  • Comparison of load sequence scenarios by reliable execution times
