Stop losing time and money due to inefficient and error-prone manual processes. ICT Logistics' Terminal Operating System (TOS) digitises operations, from booking orders to sending status information and from unloading ships to stacking containers. The result is more efficient and reliable operations, both at your terminals and in the entire supply chain.

Digital planning, control and monitoring

Terminals are confronted with the daily puzzle of precisely coordinating the movements of trucks, trains and ships, making the best use of space, and deploying staff and resources efficiently. What’s more, they experience the burden of the administrative, manual tasks that entail time and costs. Couldn't this be done smarter?

ICT Logistics' Terminal Operating System (TOS) provides a smart solution for digitising, automating and optimising terminal operations. A single system suffices for planning, controlling and monitoring all terminal processes. Not just for one terminal, but for the entire network of multimodal terminals. Regardless of whether it involves storage and transhipment to road, water or rail.     

Efficient, fast and error-free

Did the containers arrive undamaged? Are they still correctly sealed? Do reefers need to be plugged onto the ship? The TOS ensures that your operators don’t skip any handling or checking steps. Whether it involves full or empty containers, heavy or light cargo or dangerous goods: the TOS places every container in the right location, taking into account important factors such as safety, dwell time, driving distance and other parameters.

Does controlling equipment at the terminal require unnecessary attention? Complete integration of the TOS with SmartECS - ICT Logistics' Equipment Control System - makes dividing and assigning tasks much easier. SmartECS translates orders from the TOS into instructions for harbour cranes, straddle carriers, reach-stackers, AGVs and other equipment. Because all communication is completely digital, the central dashboard provides a complete overview of the current state of affairs.

Digital and data-driven

Optimise not only internal processes, but also those of partners in the supply chain. Avoid waiting times at the gate by having road carriers reserve a slot time, thus offering a fast lane. Minimise dwell times of ships and trains to reduce lead times in the supply chain. Interfacing with our intermodal Transport Management System (TMS) allows you to optimise the organisation of transport via different modes such as road, rail, inland waterways and short-sea.

Chain partners can digitally book orders and add documents. All actions at the terminal are recorded in a central database. This provides all parties involved with access to real-time status information. Searching through paper documents, e-mails or spreadsheets is a thing of the past. Just a few clicks allow you to easily prepare and send invoices, including dwell fees.

Years of experience

The development of ICT Logistics' TOS is based on years of experience in digitising and automating logistics processes at ports and terminals. Terminals throughout Europe use our software to keep central control of operations across their entire network.

Optimise operations at your terminals

ICT Logistics' TOS offers a wide range of possibilities for optimising your logistics processes. Thanks to the years of experience and expertise of our specialists, you can take full advantage of the system’s benefits, including the right support during configuration and implementation.

Fast lane

Prevent congestion at terminal. The TOS allows carriers to book slot times and enter all necessary data. The system recognises the registration number of vehicles when they arrive, allowing drivers to drive straight through. Trains and wagons are also automatically recognised on arrival, significantly speeding up the process.

Workflow module

Ensure that no task is skipped. Thanks to the flexible and configurable workflow module in the TOS, all tasks are completed efficiently and error-free. Operators can only proceed once every step has been ticked off digitally, making paper instructions and checklists unnecessary.

Central control

Do you manage several terminals? One, single system allows you to centralise the control of all locations. The central dashboard provides insight into the occupancy rate of each terminal, so you can see at a glance all the containers are. Transporting containers is facilitated because all data is readily available, thus reducing the administrative burden.

Control of equipment

The TOS works seamlessly with ICT Logistics' Equipment Control System (SmartECS). SmartECS translates orders from the TOS into instructions for dock cranes, straddle carriers, reach-stackers and other equipment. Because SmartECS is vendor-independent, you have complete freedom in choosing equipment suppliers.
