Sallaum Terminals NV runs its vehicle operations on Logisoft's Terminal Operating System. Every unit is inspected on arrival, checked for damage, tracked through the yard, and dispatched, all on one platform that stays in sync with the transport operations feeding it.
Replacing a disconnected setup with a single connected system removed the data gaps, manual change requests and blind spots that used to slow the terminal down, and put inspection, storage and dispatch on one live view shared with the shipping line.
Customer background
Sallaum Terminals NV operates at one of the world's largest Roll-on/Roll-off ports, with inland connections by rail, road and short sea. It handles a high, continuous volume of vehicles, moving cars and other units between vessels, the yard and onward transport, with a focus on flexible processing, handling and storage.
The challenge
Before Logisoft TOS, the terminal ran on outdated software that did not integrate cleanly with its transport management.
The old setup was holding operations back
Data went out of sync between the shipping line and customers, there was no reliable real-time visibility, and customer change requests were handled manually. The old system had no notifications or alerts, which made for a poor day-to-day experience for the people using it.
The business flow, end to end
From the quay to onward transport, every vehicle moves through four stages on one platform, and the commercial record is built as the work happens rather than reconstructed afterward:
What changed
Since moving to Logisoft TOS, the terminal reports clear improvements across the operation:
Faster processing
Shorter cargo processing times, with steps captured on handhelds instead of paper and re-keying.
Cleaner data
Fewer data discrepancies, because terminal and transport work off one synchronized record.
Better daily experience
Higher user satisfaction, particularly with the handheld devices and built-in notifications.
Fewer things slip
Fewer missed deadlines and dropped critical tasks, with alerts surfacing what needs attention.
Ready for electric vehicles
As the vehicle mix shifts toward electric, the terminal handles EV-specific requirements natively, from high-voltage battery state-of-charge checks to automatically scheduled follow-up inspections while a unit sits in the yard.
In their words
"We are very pleased with the service offered by Logisoft's team before the agreed deadlines, the later very flexible and professional assistance, and the quality of the products accomplished. In this respect, we highly recommend them."
David Van Ballaert, Managing Director, Sallaum Terminals NV
In summary
Running the terminal on Logisoft TOS has improved operational efficiency, data accuracy and the experience of the people using it every day. For a high-volume vehicle terminal handling both conventional and electric units, keeping inspection, storage, dispatch and transport on one connected platform is what makes that possible.
