Digital trucker dispatch with CONROO APP now available at EUROKOMBI terminal
24 Apr 2024 15:13 Digitalization
The CONROO GATE PASS is now also available at the Hamburg EUROKOMBI terminal, the joint venture between Kombiverkehr and EUROGATE. The CONROO application enables the digital identification of truck drivers at the pick-up or delivery point, saves time and increases the security of the entire terminal operation. In addition to DUSS / Billwerder, REMAIN and EUROGATE Container Terminal Hamburg, the CONROO solution is now being used at the fourth location in Hamburg.
Together with KOMBIVERKEHR, EUROGATE has been operating the publicly accessible EUROKOMBI transhipment facility for combined transport in the immediate vicinity of Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH) since 2002.
"With the deployment at EUROKOMBI, we are expanding the use of the GATE PASS to other EUROGATE locations as planned. We are relying on this tried-and-tested solution to significantly improve processes for truck drivers at the EUROKOMBI terminal as well," explains Patrick Jandt, Head of IT at the EUROGATE Group.
Step-by-step introduction at all German EUROGATE locations
CONROO's GATE PASS solution was introduced at EUROGATE Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH) on 20 March. Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven will follow, as well as other international EUROGATE locations. The cross-location introduction of the CONROO solution will set new standards for the entire EUROGATE Group, in the interests of climate-friendly combined transport and in the interests of the business location.
Felix Paul Czerny, co-founder and CEO of CONROO, looks back with satisfaction on the successes of recent weeks:
"With EUROKOMBI, we are now going live with the CONROO APP at our fourth location in Hamburg. This means that in Hamburg alone we have connected four locations to our system in less than ten weeks. This is a real added value for truck drivers in Hamburg, as they can already drive to many locations with just one app".
Time savings for truck drivers and safer terminal operations
The GATE PASS eliminates the time-consuming and paper-intensive administrative process of registering truck drivers. At the same time, the early information and synchronisation of gate and lane information makes it much easier and faster to process transport orders. For the drivers, this means fewer queues and waiting times, more time for other tasks and greater safety, as there is no need to leave the truck at the terminal, except for the loading process. EUROGATE and CONROO are thus contributing to greater sustainability and security along the supply chain.
The fully digital GATE PASS not only ensures greater efficiency, but also significantly more security throughout the entire terminal operation. The app solution works on all common mobile devices and covers the entire process from registration and fully digital verification of the driver to DAKOSY route planning (TR02) and on-site instructions. The special feature: the system has numerous interfaces that integrate all the players involved along the logistics chain: These include TMS, platforms such as driveMybox, as well as depots and warehouses. CONROO always acts as an independent and neutral partner. The new app solution "GATE PASS" will be gradually introduced at all German terminal locations of the EUROGATE Group from spring 2024.
