What the solution changes on your platform

Unidentified drivers, unpredictable waiting, poorly used docks: truck arrivals weigh on both productivity and site safety.

Logistics platform: façade and loading door.

01

Identified, controlled access

Each driver checks in at the kiosk and answers the safety questions before entering the site.

02

Less waiting

Drivers wait in their truck or in the waiting room and are called as soon as their goods are ready or a dock becomes free.

03

Better-organised docks and teams

Order pickers and security staff see arrivals, assign docks and guide drivers.

Driver journey at a logistics platform. ESII illustration.

1. Reception

The driver arrives in the reception area and chooses a language on the kiosk.

2. Identification

The driver answers safety questions about the video shown on screen, then checks in: appointment code (Orion RDV or another tool), phone number, licence plate, name or the barcode on the delivery note. They state the company they are visiting and receive a ticket or an SMS.

3. Check and preparation

The information reaches the operators, who check the purpose of the delivery or start preparing the order.

4. Waiting

The driver waits in the truck or in the offices, kept informed by the screens.

5. Loading or unloading

When the goods are ready or a dock is free, the operator calls the driver from eClient, on a touch screen or a PC: the call appears on screen or is sent by SMS. Docks can be pre-assigned automatically, and the barrier can be opened through an interface.

6. Monitoring by the manager

The supervisor follows operations in real time in eVision (queue, estimated waiting time, arrival times, connected docks) and analyses activity: statistics, Excel or PDF exports, automatic report delivery.

Who it is for

Logistics platforms, warehouses, distribution centres and industrial sites that receive carriers every day.

Frequently asked questions

Another question? Our experts will answer.

How do drivers check in?

At the kiosk, depending on your organisation: appointment code (Orion RDV or another tool), phone number, licence plate, first and last name, or by scanning the barcode on their delivery note.

Do drivers have to wait in a waiting room?

No. They can wait in their truck: the dock call reaches them by SMS, or on the screens if they wait in the offices.

Can safety rules be validated?

Yes. The kiosk asks one or more questions about the safety video shown on screen, for example the speed limit on site.

Are docks assigned automatically?

Your choice: automatic pre-assignment or manual mode. Order pickers then call the driver from the eClient call station.

What data is available to manage the site?

eVision supervision shows the queue, estimated waiting times, arrival times and connected docks in real time. Statistics (waiting time per day, footfall per weekday) can be exported to Excel or PDF.
