RampMan^®

RampMan® - Efficient in the loading area

• ONE PLATFORM FOR RAMP OWNERS AND USERS
• MINIMIZATION OF DOWNTIME AND WAITING TIME
• DIGITAL CORE PROCESSES AT THE RAMP AT A LOW PRICE
• SMOOTHING OF WORKLOAD PEAKS
• WORTHWHILE EVEN WITH A MINIMUM NUMBER OF RAMPS

The lean cloud software RampMan® ensures optimal booking and management of time slots for ramps. As a cost-effective system, RampMan® aims to achieve at least 80% of the total benefit with a maximum of 20% of the effort, compared to the usually oversized yard management systems.

Our time slot management software provides a central communication platform between the ramp owner and the deliverer or collector to ensure efficient utilization and smooth operations at the ramp. In an interactive calendar, forwarders or suppliers can see directly at which times clearance at a particular ramp is possible and thus guaranteed. At the same time, ramp owners are aware of upcoming loading/unloading operations. With the help of RampMan®, ramp utilization can thus be transparently displayed, planned and controlled, and waiting times before the actual loading processes - and the associated demurrage charges - can be permanently reduced.
