With massive ships and consolidated carrier alliances, container terminal operators are under tremendous pressure to increase their capacity. With so much to accomplish in a short span of time, is your terminal operating system (TOS) enough to sustain profitability and future growth?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. But why?

A TOS is designed to store historical data and help you make decisions for today, rather than plan for tomorrow. Your TOS shows you what is arriving at your terminal, but it can’t show you how to best manage your operations for profitability and efficiency. It’s like driving with your eyes glued to the rearview mirror.

Take a look at the infographic below to see the impact of pairing your TOS with a container terminal planning and optimization platform. View a larger version.

Make the best decisions – for today and for the future

Here’s the bottom line: If you want to optimize your operations and make the best decisions, you need to see the road ahead. A container terminal planning and optimization platform gives you that perspective.

When you complement your TOS with an integrated planning solution, you gain full visibility of your operations. So you can make the best decisions and clearly see what’s coming up. And that lets you reduce your costs, be more agile and respond better to customer demands.
