• New transport management system successfully launched at the pilot site in Unna.
• Standardised data foundation increases transparency and enables further automation.
• Roll-out provides the basis for implementation at additional sites.
Rhenus has put a new transport management system (TMS) from logistics software provider Translogica into operation at its Unna site. The system supports key processes from order entry and dispatch planning through to billing and shipment tracking, modernising a key technological foundation of Rhenus Group operations.
New foundation for digital processes
The go-live was preceded by an extensive selection and implementation phase. Rhenus tested the system using real-life workflows from day-to-day operations and adapted processes and organisational structures accordingly. This has created the foundation for greater automation and the further digitalisation of processes.
“Replacing the core system of a freight forwarding company during ongoing operations is like performing open-heart surgery. Together with Translogica, we successfully managed the transition without compromising our ability to maintain day-to-day operations,” says Franco Labella, Member of the Management Board of Rhenus Road Freight.
