Description
TLS – Transport Logistics System is a digital solution for managing transport logistics at a plant, warehouse, or logistics facility. The system covers the entire process, from planning a vehicle’s arrival, through driver registration, entry into the facility, and navigation to a specific loading bay or dock, all the way to the completion of loading or unloading and the vehicle’s departure from the facility.
TLS replaces manual planning, telephone coordination, and paper records with a managed digital process. Carriers or internal users reserve time slots in advance, and the system schedules arrivals based on available capacity to prevent traffic peaks, truck wait times, and inefficient use of loading docks.
Economic benefits
The economic benefits of TLS lie primarily in reduced vehicle downtime, more efficient use of loading docks, a lower workload on staff, and greater predictability of transport processes.
- a reduction in loading and unloading time by up to 45%,
- a reduction in the workload on staff by up to 30%,
- reduction in transport costs by up to 20%,
- higher facility throughput without the need for disproportionate infrastructure expansion,
- fewer phone calls, less paperwork, and faster resolution of changes.
Environmental benefits
The environmental benefits of TLS stem from more efficient transportation planning, reduced downtime, and a decrease in unnecessary vehicle movements on the premises. When arrivals are scheduled into time slots and vehicles are navigated directly to the correct location, waiting times are shortened, the number of trips is reduced, and idling is minimized.
TLS also replaces paper forms, handwritten records, and manual tracking with digital data, checklists, and reports. This reduces paper consumption and enables more accurate evaluation of transport processes and their environmental impact.
For the Green Economy portal, it is particularly important that TLS not only delivers cost savings but also promotes more responsible use of resources. It helps reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and other pollutants from transportation, improves the flow of vehicle traffic on the premises, and contributes to the more sustainable operation of logistics facilities.
Examples of implementation of the solution in practice
M2M Solutions are used in industrial, logistics, and warehouse operations in Slovakia and abroad. In practice, they help customers reduce inefficient movements, error rates, downtime, and paperwork, while making better use of existing capacity.
Completed projects include, for example:
- Slowood – a TLS solution for more efficient transport planning,
- SHP Harmanec – a TLS solution for optimizing transport and logistics processes.
These implementations demonstrate that the digitization and automation of logistics processes not only bring greater efficiency but also more sustainable operations—fewer unnecessary movements, more precise planning, and better utilization of resources.
