Real-time operational monitoring of transports
PostNL Transport utilizes the Simacan Control Tower for the real-time operational monitoring of their transport between warehouses, sorting centres, and large customers. The PostNL control room, which operates 24/7, is staffed with several coordinators across three shifts. These coordinators work as a team to monitor and manage all transport operations.
PostNL’s fleet management and charter integration with real-time visibility
The operations cover two types of transport: PostNL’s own fleet, managed via LogiApp, and charters, managed via App2Track. During daytime operations, most trips are executed by PostNL’s own fleet, while at night the majority of trips are carried out by charters.
This division ensures efficient resource allocation and optimal coverage of all transport activities.
In the control room, planners have a comprehensive overview of vehicle positions—both from their own fleet and chartered vehicles—against the current planning and traffic conditions.
"Simacan's Control Tower provides us with a real-time overview of both our own fleet and charter vehicles."
Enhanced visibility empowers PostNL
This enhanced visibility enables PostNL to proactively manage operations, quickly resolve potential disruptions, and maintain high service levels for their customers.
