“We immediately aligned with Navis’ vision for the future of innovation in the ocean shipping industry and with its experience helping terminals around the world achieve their goals for automation, we knew we made the right choice in selecting N4 for our TOS. Once we started, the Navis team helped us automate our terminal in record time. Through our partnership with Navis, we are confident we will raise the bar for modern terminal operations, performance and efficiency across the ocean supply chain.”
"With PINC, we have been able to scale to more than 800 trailer visits per day."
“Navis is a very sharp company and i don't say that lightly i think they're way ahead of the curve compared to the other tos providers and i don't think anyone's going to wind up catching them for quite some time. I'm glad that we made the right choice for our terminal operating system -- navis.”
“We recognize that automation allows terminals to maintain a competitive advantage through an enhanced quality of service. The data that n4 provides allows for the transparency that we need to make informed decisions and be a market leader.”
"The implementation of N4 is part of a larger project for bct to utilize the most innovative hardware and software available. N4 will enable the customization options we need to support our automation initiatives."
"We did some research, visited several sites, and spoke to our peers that were already using a YMS, from that process, we selected PINC’s YMS."
"It was really important that the solution be able to grow with us as our business continued to grow and change. Upon review of PINC’s proposal, our project team considered their hosted YMS solution as being truly the ‘best in class’ in each of our evaluation areas."
"We’re sending messages right through the platform, so we no longer have to use a cell phone or a radio."
“Really, the hard savings for us was easy and included the reduction in trailers, fewer yard drivers, reduction of fuel consumption, and the elimination of cell phones.”
"Certainly from a corporate perspective, it helps us get a pulse on what is going on out in the field."
"Visibility into container locations boosts our operating efficiencies...our customers have a clear windown into our operations."
“N4 has allowed us to streamline our systems and better our end-to-end operational process throughout the country. We are learning how important it is to have an open mind so that processes can continue to improve and long-term benefits can be achieved.”
"Kenco wants to use drones for managing real-time data gathering in outside yard operations. PINC’s patented RTLS sensor platform captures locations of assets and inventory, and can provide up-to-the-minute information that would allow Kenco to customize and segment yard operations based on customer needs and business rules."
"PINC allows us to receive an ASN, and we also upload any number of file types and match those files with trailer arrival times into the yard."
"The main reason for choosing n4 is that it is integrated to the equipment control system. The strength of having an integrated solution – kalmar on one hand and navis on the other -- was a strong selling point for us. Of course, the other was the depth of experience in automation."
