Port of Södertälje deploys a solution from Hogia
The Port of Södertälje strives to be the natural hub in the Stockholm area and have been successful in this respect. Today, their operation includes frequent services with both vessels and rail shuttles. This makes the port an efficient hub for the transfer of goods between sea, rail and trucks. This year they have battled recession by finding new export volumes and taking market shares from competing terminals. In April they scored a new monthly record by handling 6200 TEU´s.The 1st of March this year, the Port of Södertälje switched to Hogia´s terminal system for their entire operation. The new system includes LoLo operation of containers at quay side, with loading and discharging of vessels, rail terminal, depot activities, gate functions and also the integration with ship-owners and rail operators.
-With Hogia we have found a partner as focused on proactivity and cost efficiency as we are, says Erik Froste, MD Port of Södertälje in a press-release.
The Port of Södertälje needed a new and proactive supplier inn order to continue the port´s positive development and Hogia´s solution met their requirements. A critical part of the deployment was to get multiple integrations up and running. These were successfully implemented with the new system and the Port of Södertälje now has more integrations in place than ever before. And, as Erik Froste concludes:
-IT is a very important resource for a port in order to operate efficiently. Now, with the implementation of Hogia´s system we are starting to increase in efficiency and added customer value.
