Our Customer
TRANSNET
The South African company Transnet SOC Limited is the national company for goods transport and goods turnover. The subsidiary company Transnet Port Terminals operates seven seaport terminals on the coast of South Africa, including Africa‘s largest container terminal with the highest container throughput in Durban.
Our Customers Voice
We are using CHESSCON for our strategic planning for many years already. We have it integrated into our terminal development and decision taking process for any major terminal project – be it new equipment, terminal expansion or even new terminals. My team is doing most of the simulation ourselves and for complex cases and new items we can always count on the knowledge and experience from the CHESSCON team.
The Initial Situation
TOS installations and updates must be secure
TRANSNET's Capacity Planning Group had to evaluate investment requests from the terminals and had to confirm their necessity for each case. If it is not clear from the figures out of the request, the team needs to simulates scenarios to get more detailed information. Transnet Port Terminals decided to use CHESSCON Virtual Terminal by AKQUINET to secure the TOS upgrades. Before going live with a new release, this will be tested by the emulation software until a secure rollout to operation is guaranteed.
The Solution
Improving operational processes
Transnet Port Terminals and AKQUINET discussed how the CHESSCON modules, which have primarily been used for strategic investment planning and software tests to date, may support tactical and operational planning. How can they provide a sound basis for making operational decisions in daily business? In the process, AKQUINET illustrated 3 dimensions that may become relevant for Transnet:
1.: TOS training with CHESSCON Virtual Terminal
2.: Educated decision making with CHESSCON Shift Preview
3.: Better visibility and yard foresight with CHESSCON Yard View
