Case Study

Yard Management Automation for Heineken South Africa

From long outside waiting times and limited arrival visibility to automated appointment execution and measurable ROI.

The challenge

On average 30+ trucks would be waiting outside for 6 to 12 hours, with no visibility into arrival times and what orders each truck needed to pick up/drop off.

“At our main brewery in Sedibeng, on average 30+ trucks would be waiting outside for 6 to 12 hours. We had no visibility on the arrival time of each truck and what orders they were to pick up/drop off. Within a week of using Nane’s YMS solution we eliminated that problem. At a later stage, it allowed us to schedule 3 customer deliveries per truck per day.”
