Gävle Stevedoring Company implemented Hogia Terminal Cargo during the spring of 2011 with the goal to streamline SSAB goods volumes at a new warehouse in the terminal area. The solution has met their expectations on reduced costs and improved traceability as well as analyzing flows that develop and optimise operation. As a result, Gävle Stevedoring Company selected Hogia as the strategic IT partner for the entire operation.
The most important addition is the replacement of the existing system with Hogia Terminal Container which will improve container management and reduce costs as well as improve the service towards customers. At the same time, Hogia Terminal RoRo will be deployed to create an efficient flow of units and data for the newly started RoRo line to Rauma, Finland. The next step is to implement Hogia Terminal Combi for intermodal transport. The entire solution is a continuation of Hogia’s knowhow and extensive experience of creating efficient integrations with industry stakeholders.
‘From experience, we know that solutions from Hogia can provide us with a competitive edge. The integrated container-, RoRo-and intermodal transport solutions from Hogia, will improve our setup considerably, which will give us an advantage when making new business deals as well as taking care of existing customers’, says Ulf Boogh, vice President, Gävle Stevedoring Company.
Gävle Stevedoring’s investment in Hogia Terminal Container, RoRo and Combi is in line with the expansion of the terminal and fairway and with the goal to increase the port’s attractiveness and capacity. The port had already invested in payroll and business systems from Hogia and the co-operation now continues with the deployment of Hogia Terminal Systems’ solutions as an operative business support.
‘The decision by Gävle Stevedoring Company to extend their successful solution from Hogia is a token of our success as a supplier. They are now investing in our most comprehensive solution by far and they won’t be disappointed’, says Nicholas Tengelin, Company Manager, Hogia Terminal Systems.
