Logistics and distribution. The Cruyff method
The problem
“If you are late, you have to make sure to leave on time,” is a famous expression by the Dutch football player Johan Cruyff. This certainly applies to the transport and logistics sector. Leaving on time with a truck carrying as many goods as possible and arriving on time is – simply put – the sector’s core business. Pulling that off requires a lot of organisational talent. This is where Texas Digital comes in. Our system translates the available information into efficient actions in the warehouse or depot, where order pickers can do their work without hiccups. Problems in the supply chain are avoided. Trucks are loaded to capacity and leave and arrive right on time.
The solution
Texas Digital visualises the available information on the supply chain’s critical path and translates it into easy-to-understand insights that are shown on clearly visible, dynamic, and interpretable displays. On the work floor at the dock shelters, personnel can see from far off if schedules and targets are being met: from load volumes to departure times and everything in between. This is a dynamic process that is extracted from numerical data. We create the concrete pathways that represent the shortest, easiest, smartest, or most logical road to the goal – not just down on “the floor”, but also for management teams. We do all of this accurately and in real time, of course.
Tools
The QuickCOM software is the ideal solution for both regular and ad-hoc schedules. It offers insight into timelines and conditions from the time that the first order is picked until the truck’s doors close. All hubs and depots are included in the overview. In the words of Cruyff, “you don’t see it until you understand it.” Texas Digital provides up-to-date and accurate insight into your logistical processes and distribution.
Markets
Transport companies, parcel services, personal and commercial transport, freight brokers and stevedores, warehouses. We would be happy to send you an overview of our clientele at your request.
Continuity
Texas Digital’s real-time system is comparable to the cockpit of a major airplane that consists of millions of components. In turn, these are housed in many different compartments that the pilot can monitor. This results in interaction between the pilot and his subsystems. Just like with an airplane, we can examine the functionality of each compartment individually. Within each compartment, you identify your system’s critical factors and consolidate data at a visible and optimally insightful level. Complex processes are presented to you in a simplified and easy-to-understand manner. You remain the pilot of your system and are in complete control; the manager who directs people, products, and systems in real time. This leads to optimal communication and interaction between you, your team and your processes. The system notifies you of any crucial interruptions in a timely manner, so as to minimise their impact or prevent them altogether. Your work processes continue as usual – always! In short: we provide real-time communication between computer operations staff, help desk personnel, and end users at any time.
Quickscan
If you would like to know what Texas Digital can do for you and your organisation, you can schedule an appointment for a quickscan. This process usually only takes half a day. We are happy to help. You can find our contact information on this website in the “Contact” section.
