Dinges opts for Inform ’ s TOS

Dinges Logistics has selected Inform ’ s Intermodal TOS to replace an existing system at its Grünstadt container terminal . Based in Aachen , Germany , Informa has been in the optimisation business for 50 years and serves a wide span of logistics industries including ports , maritime , and intermodal terminals with both addon optimisation modules as well as TOS solutions . “ When we set out to replace our existing system , we wanted to select a proven software vendor in the intermodal TOS market that would allow us not only to improve our transparency but also our efficiency ,” said Ingo Dinges , owner of Dinges Logistics . “ As part of our selection process , we were able to see the impact of Inform ’ s Intermodal TOS in live operations ; the solution was the clear leader after seeing it in place and speaking with the operations team at the terminal .” Timo Mayer , site manager and project leader at Dinges added : “ When we engaged with Inform throughout the selection process , we always had a clear vision that they were looking at the long-term impact of their solution on our terminal and they were understanding our needs very well ; it was clear that it would be a partnership , that we weren ’ t simply buying a piece of software .” “ We had a strong focus on covering all aspects of our service offering with a single software solution to improve transparency while also reducing service times and we see digitalisation as a key element in achieving these outcomes ,” said Mayer . The TOS replacement project is now under deployment and is slated to go live in the fourth quarter of this year . It will build on Inform ’ s existing footprint of intermodal terminal operators running their proven Intermodal TOS including KTL and Samskip in Germany . “ Our Intermodal TOS was developed over many years leveraging our knowledge of the container and intermodal industries combined with our optimisation expertise ,” commented Dr Eva Savelsberg , SVP of Inform ’ s Logistics division . “ The TOS benefits from many of the add-on algorithms that the container terminal is probably used to hearing in conjunction with the name Inform which truly makes it one of the most powerful intermodal TOS options on the market .” The Grünstadt Container Terminal is an important intermodal facility located in the Rhein-Neckar region close to Ludwigshafen / Mannheim , Germany providing storage places for loaded and empty containers , serviced storage slots , and regular shuttle services . Moreover , Dinges is an important one-stop-shopping solution for the industry in the region for all services including cleaning , workshop activities , heating and cooling as trucking services , as well as other services all under a single provider . Dr Savelsberg continued : “ Dinges Logistics ’ Grünstadt Terminal is our smallest Intermodal TOS deployment to date and it reflects the work that the team has done to make the solution scalable and nimble allowing any sized terminal to benefit from digitalisation and optimisation .”
