Logistical efficiency at Katoen Natie thanks to our advanced bus planning tool.

What is the problem?

Katoen Natie faced a significant issue: every day, hundreds of workers needed to arrive at the right job sites on time. This was challenging because the process was handled manually and was not optimal, leading to inefficiency and confusion. It was clear that a better, automated solution was needed to improve and digitize this process..

How could we help?

To tackle this challenge, we developed a customized bus planning tool for Katoen Natie. This tool automated the assignment of temporary workers to the appropriate buses based on the warehouse they needed to work at. This represented a significant improvement over the previous manual methods..

How did we solve it?

XIS's new tool ensured that each worker automatically received an SMS with their assigned bus number. This not only improved efficiency but also provided clear and timely communication. To ensure that the right person boards the correct bus, a QR code scanning solution was integrated. Each worker received a unique QR code, which acted as a digital badge. This QR code could be easily scanned, ensuring the authenticity and security of the assignment..

Advantages: Efficiency, accuracy, and safety

The implementation of the bus planning tool has brought significant benefits to Katoen Natie:.

Efficiency: The process now runs faster and with fewer human errors. Automation has eliminated the need for manual allocations.

Accuracy: The automatic SMS messages and QR code scans ensure that each worker knows exactly which bus to take, minimizing the chance of errors.

Safety: The QR code ensures that only authorized individuals access the buses, enhancing the safety and reliability of the process.
