Yard Management - Optimization of truck handling via app

The "Site Guide" from Tagxter is a smart app-based software solution in the field of digital yard management. The app is available as a web app in the browser and as a native app for iOS & Android. The various highly configurable modules can be combined as required and optimally expand your existing or planned yard management. As well as being available to download from the standard app stores, the Site Guide is also available in on-board computers and telematics systems from various providers (e.g. Trimble, Astrata, WEBFLEET or Spedion). The system works without any hardware (e.g. terminals) on site. Ideal for registrations, safety instructions, load securing documentation as well as communication and loading point calls via pager (including chat function). Including precise on-site navigation, taking into account all plant-specific rules.

Time slot booking

Improve your inbound flow control by offering your hauliers and service providers a simple online option to book time slots for loading and unloading on your premises.

Digital forms

Paper forms have had their day! Carry out safety briefings, visitor or truck driver registrations or load securing documentations in a mobile, digital, audit-proof and contactless manner.

Pager + chat

Track the location of vehicles (live), write messages, assign loading points or send behavioral instructions (multilingual). There is no need to pick up vehicles manually from the waiting area or hand out notices on paper.

Navigation & maps

The app guides visitors, employees and suppliers safely from the gate to their destination (e.g. loading point) - even where normal navigation devices do not work. This makes paper maps obsolete.

Sample reference: Saint-Gobain Rigips & Isover

Slot booking

Are all of your trucks arriving at your site at the same time? Long waiting times and traffic jams causing problems? Then intelligent inbound traffic control is probably the right solution for you. Reduce peaks in workload and shorten waiting times by giving your forwarders/service providers an easy online option to book time slots for (un)loading on your premises in advance. Bookings can be made in self-service with or without an account and are extremely easy to complete. The slot booking is highly flexible and can be adapted to all your needs (length, frequency, breaks, opening hours, etc.). On request, the reference number used to book a time slot can be validated directly against your TMS/ERP. Of course, the Site Guide's Slot Booking module is seamlessly integrated into the Yard Management, and truck drivers immediately see when their time slot is upon registration at the site.

Construction zone management

Whether as part of your Site Guide app or as stand-alone solution - with the digital construction zone managament by Tagxter you will always be able to keep an eye on all construction activities and other restricted areas on your site. You can also embed them into your internal corporate communications. Possible use cases:

Road closures
Building works
Events
Crane stances
Accident scenes
Track works
Explosion protection zones
...

Construction zone management overview map

The dynamic overview map is web-based and can therefore be used almost everywhere, for example on the intranet via PC or on the go on your smartphone.

For all construction zones and special areas on your site, you can add extensive information and contact persons, which can be reached with just one click. The zones can be scheduled exactly and are (de)activated automatically at the specified time.

Different accesses with various authorizations and workflows can be created for different departments (factory safety, facility management, fire brigade etc.).

Your construction zone management will reach its full potential if you use the Site Guide apps on your site. All information about construction works can be automatically imported into your Site Guide.

The route calculation of the app also automatically takes into account all closures for the selected means of transportation (car/truck/pedestrian) and selects the fastest alternative route. Therefore, you no longer need to worry about how to communicate temporary closures and necessary diversions to all persons on your site - the Site Guide serves as a central information portal.
