How the supply chain in your industry benefits from Loady
Fewer misunderstandings, clear and multilingual loading requirements, standardized formats and content — and all of this can be used digitally and integrated into logistics systems. This is win-win - everyone benefits from correct data and information. Consequently, the entire logistics process becomes more efficient and plannable, from freight procurement to quotation and order management — and, of course, delivery and truck execution. Loady's central, standardized and networked data source for loading requirements makes this possible.
Shippers, consignees and logistics service providers refer to Loady as a central data source for loading and unloading requirements.
Mastering the challenge of "loading requirements" in waste-logistics
Different instructions for hazardous goods, hazardous waste, residual materials, and recyclable goods complicate communication, especially with drivers.
Lack of standardized loading requirements for each facility or location (e.g., ramp access, opening hours, safety instructions).
Different processes at municipal, private, or industrial waste disposal companies lead to misunderstandings and poor planning.
For facilities that are part of critical infrastructure (CRITIS), training drivers and external workers is very time-consuming.
Costs rise due to unnecessary waiting times and delays.
Visual and multilingual driver briefings enable easy communication regarding the requirements of different deliveries or pickups.
Standardized, unambiguous designations for loading requirements are available.
Digitally available information provides clarity – regardless of which waste disposal company is involved.
Waste and energy plants provide digital training for drivers and external workers, saving time and effort.

Less incidents and delays through simple driver briefings at the entry gate
Greater safety and fewer incidents: Truck drivers quickly find their way around with the help of easy-to-understand, multilingual driver instructions.
Complying with CRITIS
There are two ways to comply with the obligation to provide proof of driver training: manually by verifying the list or integrated via the yard management system.
Mobile and step-by-step
Whether waste, white lime, or ammonia water is being delivered or residual materials are being collected, new drivers in particular need to know immediately which steps to follow and how to operate which devices. With their own smartphone or tablet or one provided by the operator, they have everything they need at their fingertips, step by step.
Mastering the logistics challenge "loading requirements" in the automotive industry
Delays in transport jeopardize tightly scheduled production processes.
Unclear addresses and access restrictions (especially at large OEM plants) often cause misunderstandings and generate delays.
The large number of parties involved makes cooperation in logistics difficult: OEMs, suppliers, logistics service providers, warehouse operators, freight forwarders

Mastering the challenge "loading requirements" in construction
Complex coordination with freight forwarders and drivers due to changing conditions and access routes as construction progresses.
Trucks get lost or end up in inappropriate places and block other processes.
Truck drivers confuse dumpsters and load or unload incorrectly.
The truck cannot unload because the driver did not know that there was no ramp.
The truck driver unloads building materials at the wrong place because the dumpsters have been moved.
The geographical coordinates of access roads, parking areas, and storage sites are recorded with unique geographical coordinates and updated as necessary.
Truck drivers know what to look out for thanks to visual, multilingual driver instructions that can be sent in advance.
Thanks to precise coordinates, the current location for loading or unloading the respective materials is always known.
The freight forwarder and its dispatcher know the requirements in advance and select the vehicle and technical equipment accordingly.
Changes to logistics on the construction site are directly accessible to everyone and can be tracked via the change history.
