Operational Challenge: Inefficient Truck Dispatching in Plant Logistics
Our business unit FOXBYTE has developed a comprehensive web application for our customer Mubea that fundamentally modernizes and simplifies the processing and organization of truck logistics.
The aim was to replace an outdated system with a digital solution that meets today's requirements for efficiency, internationality and automation.
Custom Logistics Software: A Tailored Solution for Mubea’s Plant Operations
FOXBYTE created a customized application on Mubea's existing Azure cloud environment in just four months. Today, the system reliably and efficiently manages the dispatch of around 200 trucks daily, providing tangible benefits to dispatchers, drivers, and the company itself.
To ensure the new logistics process runs efficiently, FOXBYTE and Mubea jointly developed an optimized process that makes better use of the newly gained advantages in conjunction with the digital application.
1) Early Time‑Slot Booking for Predictable Plant Capacity
Dispatchers can conveniently register planned deliveries and book time slots online in advance. Plant capacity utilization is efficiently managed at this stage.
2) Multilingual On‑Site Registration for International Drivers
Even unregistered vehicles can register directly at the factory terminal in 12 languages with an intuitive interface. This significantly reduces communication problems.
3) Targeted Retrieval via SMS
Truck drivers receive a text message as soon as they are cleared for entry. This message may include a Google Maps link to the correct access route, which is particularly helpful on large factory premises.
4) Automated Gate Access Enabled by License Plate Recognition
High-resolution cameras at the factory gate recognize registered trucks by their license plates and allow them to enter automatically, eliminating the need for manual checks.
5) Digital Documentation of All Waiting and Loading Times
The system records all standing, waiting, and loading times, which serve as reliable proof for freight forwarders.
Results: Significant Efficiency Gains in Daily Logistics Operations
- Significant time savings for dispatchers and drivers
- Reduced personnel costs thanks to automated processes
- Reduced language barriers thanks to multilingual user guidance
- Digital documentation ensures transparency and traceability
- Seamless integration into the existing IT infrastructure
- No license costs - the solution belongs to the customer
- High user-friendliness (UX) despite complex requirements
Customized solutions instead of standard ones
Unlike many competitors, FOXBYTE does not rely on rigid products, but rather develops solutions tailored to customers' needs. This means existing processes are retained, and the customer owns the software, including the option of independent further development.
Ideal Logistics Solution for Large Production Plants
The introduction of this solution has led to a quantum leap in logistics management at Mubea, and the concept can be applied to any company with delivery, shipping, or access processes. It offers multilingual user guidance, digital call-off control, automated entry, and transparent time recording. FOXBYTE answers key questions about the digitization of logistics processes.
- How can delivery processes be digitized efficiently?
- Where is there potential for time and personnel savings?
- How can the quality and traceability of logistics processes be improved?
With this Mubea project, FOXBYTE demonstrates how digital transformation, user-friendliness, and technological innovation can be successfully combined to create real added value for customers.
