Better management of truck flows
Camco Technologies Vehicle Booking System (VBS) allows terminal operators to plan the pickup and delivery of shipping containers.
With VBS, terminals can set quotas and time slots for gate transactions and manage container drop-off and pickup throughout the day, flattening peaks. Even without the timeslot feature, VBS is a smart preannouncement tool for gathering truck visit data upfront.
Faster truck registration process at the gates.
VBS can be used with or without timeslots. Even without timeslots VBS can be implemented as a comprehensive preannouncement system for upfront visit data gathering.
The upfront collected data will speed up gate transaction: when a registered truck drives through the Camco Technologies OCR camera portal for terminal access, the gate kiosk process can be 99% automated because the booking data is linked to either the driver’s ID or truck license plate.
VBS app: managing transport assignments on-the-go
A VBS Mobile app is available for truck drivers. With the VBS app truckers manage appointments from their cabin, providing more comfort and flexibility while speeding up the gate process.
Drivers can check appointments, complete missing information and get notified for traffic alerts. The mobile app can be downloaded for free and the on-boarding process is kept simple: Drivers must activate the app using a token, which they must obtain at the terminal registration desk.
With upfront booking data available, kiosk registration and truck turnaround improves significantly.
