efficient fleet organization at Simon Hegele

smart load carriers

The logistics company Simon Hegele relies on the BOX ID cloud solution to efficiently manage over 3,000 load carriers. Real-time tracking ensures transparency, enables faster returns and reduces losses. The result is fewer bottlenecks, less manual administration effort and maximum availability.

Smarter Sonderladungsträger
The challenge

Lack of transparency in sensitive supply chains

At the Forchheim and Kemnath sites, having an adequate supply of empty load carriers is essential for avoiding delivery delays and extra work. However, in the past, bottlenecks frequently occurred due to an inaccurate overview of their respective locations and statuses. This resulted in unnecessary costs and logistical challenges. Recognizing the need to improve load carrier fleet management, Simon Hegele sought a solution to minimize bottlenecks and increase efficiency.
