The CONROO GATE PASS is now also available at the Hamburg EUROKOMBI terminal, the joint venture between Kombiverkehr and EUROGATE. The CONROO app enables the digital identification of truck drivers at the pick-up or delivery point, saves time and increases the security of the entire terminal operation. This means that CONROO’s solution is now being used at its fourth location in Hamburg, alongside DUSS/ Billwerder, REMAIN and EUROGATE Container Terminal Hamburg.
Together with KOMBIVERKEHR, EUROGATE has been operating the publicly accessible EUROKOMBI handling facility for combined cargo transport in the immediate vicinity of Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH) since 2002.
“With the deployment at EUROKOMBI, we are extending the use of the GATE PASS to other EUROGATE locations as planned. We are relying on this tried-and-tested solution to significantly improve processes for truck drivers at the EUROKOMBI terminal too,” explains Patrick Jandt, Head of IT at the EUROGATE Group.
Gradual introduction at all German EUROGATE locations
The GATE PASS solution from CONROO was introduced at EUROGATE Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH) on 20 March. Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven will follow, as well as other international EUROGATE locations. The cross-location introduction of the CONROO solution will set new standards for the entire EUROGATE Group, in the interests of climate-friendly combined transport and in the interests of the business location.
Felix Paul Czerny, Co-Founder & CEO of CONROO, looks back with confidence on the successes of recent weeks:
“With EUROKOMBI, we are now going live with the CONROO APP at our fourth location in Hamburg. This means that we have connected four locations in Hamburg alone to our system in less than ten weeks. This is real added value for truck drivers in Hamburg, as they can already drive to many locations with just one app.”
Time savings for truck drivers and more safety in terminal operations
With the GATE PASS, the time-consuming and paper-intensive administrative process of registering truck drivers becomes obsolete. At the same time, the processing of transport orders is made considerably easier and faster thanks to early information and synchronisation regarding the gate and lanes. For the drivers, this means fewer queues and waiting times, more time for other jobs and greater safety, as it is no longer necessary to leave the truck at the terminal – except for the loading process. EUROGATE and CONROO are thus making a contribution to greater sustainability and security along the supply chain.
The fully digital GATE PASS not only ensures greater efficiency, but also significantly more security throughout terminal operations. The app solution works on all common mobile devices and covers the entire process, from registration and fully digital verification of the driver to DAKOSY route planning (TR02) and on-site instructions. The special feature: the system has numerous interfaces that integrate all the players involved along the logistics chain: These include TMS, platforms such as driveMybox as well as depots and warehouses. CONROO always acts as an independent and neutral partner in terms of location. The new “GATE PASS” app solution will be gradually introduced at all of the EUROGATE Group’s German terminal locations from spring 2024.
