Euro Tank Terminal Rotterdam is the first terminal to use Systems Navigator’s new advanced planning & scheduling platform
DELFT; Nov. 28, 2017 - Euro Tank Terminal (ETT) and Systems Navigator are proud to announce the successful implementation of DROPBOARD at the terminal. A joint project team, consisting of itank, ETT and Systems Navigator employees, developed a live connection between ETT’s existing ERP system and DROPBOARD for a flawless fit with ETT operations. The customer service team is the first to start using DROPBOARD followed shortly by the barge operators.
DROPBOARD’s interface and features have been thoroughly tested by the project team in order to create an impeccable user experience. Due to the different nature of vessel and barge planning multiple workflows are supported in DROPBOARD to fit the specific needs of all users.
ETT is the first in the world to use innovative Smart Scheduling technology, enabling the terminal to markedly decrease ship turnaround and waiting times ultimately resulting in a reduced berth occupancy. This technology will give ETT a competitive edge over other terminals in the region and fits in perfectly with their never-ending quest for efficiency.
“It was a pleasure seeing the progress made by the team during the integration project and I’d like to say a big “Thank You” for a job well-done to itank, ETT and our development team,” stated Joost Smits, Commercial Manager of Systems Navigator. “We want our clients to have the best tools to compete in the storage industry. DROPBOARD is designed to do exactly that: it improves customer satisfaction by reducing turnaround times, while optimizing the use of assets at the same time.”
