Efficient container management with BinMan^®

• Increased inventory transparency through coordinated real-time inventories with all parties involved
• Improved container availability thanks to optimized container flows and demand-based provision of empties
• Cost reduction for new acquisition through verifiable reduction of container shrinkage and damage
• We will be happy to show you how these benefits can be realized for your specific application in a non-binding meeting. Please contact us at binman@logsol.de

This essentially depends on your requirements for a container management system. The standard BinMan^® software can be made available to you within one to two months after commissioning. The prerequisite here is the implementation as a stand-alone solution as well as the complete and qualitatively flawless availability of all necessary master data and the continuous availability of all necessary project participants. You should allow somewhat more time if specific software adaptations are necessary in the course of the software implementation. The exact duration depends on the number and complexity of your individual requirements.

During the software implementation, you will be supported throughout by an experienced product manager. Depending on your needs, your personal contact person will assist you with the requirements analysis, any software adjustments, employee training and the software go-live. In addition, we fully configure the software for you based on the master data you provide.

To qualify the future end users, we follow the train-the-trainer concept. We train your key users and administrators in all functionalities of your future solution in one to several training blocks on site or via web training. The goal is that these users have the most comprehensive knowledge possible about your future software solution, so that on the one hand the future 1st level support at your company can be covered by these users and on the other hand further users can be trained in-house. Furthermore, BinMan^® has an intuitive, multilingual user interface as well as an integrated online help, which enables users to easily find their way around the software and look up the correct application on their own. Furthermore, individual training concepts can also be coordinated and implemented as required.

We operate the BinMan^® as on-demand software in the Software-as-a-Service concept (SaaS), which is why a local installation of the software is not necessary. Access to BinMan^® is web-based via any current browser and all Internet-capable end devices. All users can access the software with their access data via a customer-specific domain.

Since the BinMan^® is hosted by us in the Software-as-a-Service concept, there are no requirements for an own web server. There are no explicit hardware requirements for the end devices via which the BinMan^® is used (terminal PC, laptop, handheld scanner, smartphone, tablet). The end device must have a current common browser and an Internet connection.

We offer the BinMan^® as a hosted solution on dedicated servers in a German high-security data center with a guaranteed server availability of 99.9% on an annual average. Data transfer is encrypted (SSL) and access to the BinMan^® is exclusively via password-protected access. Automated backups of data protect you from data loss in the event of an emergency. With an ISO/IEC 27001-certified information security management system (ISMS) at both LOGSOL GmbH and the hosting service provider, we send a strong signal for the security of information, data and systems.

In principle, any other system can be connected to the BinMan^® . In our view, ERP or warehouse management systems in which container movements are already recorded, transport management systems which use the data from BinMan^® dispatch planning for further transport planning/optimization or middleware systems of auto-ident solutions (GPS, RFID, UWB,…) are predestined here. Data can be exchanged bidirectionally between the various systems and BinMan^® via the BinMan^® API or customer-specific configured interfaces.

The BinMan^® software is constantly being further developed in terms of functionality and with regard to general technological and security-related advances. The enhancements and improvements are made available to our customers free of charge after agreement on an update date. Impulses for functional optimizations and further developments mainly come from our internally defined product roadmap.

Your personal contact person is also available to answer any questions you may have after the software implementation. In principle, our support team is available for all software users regarding technical and application-related questions in German, English and Chinese. With the help of a ticket system, users record their concerns and are constantly informed about the processing status of the support ticket. The contractually agreed Service Level Agreements (SLA) regulate the fast response times of our support team.

BinMan^® can be used across all industries. An application can be useful for all companies which either exchange their own returnable load carriers with external exchange partners (suppliers, service providers, customers) or which use returnable loan goods of their own customers.

We rent our software in the Software-as-a-Service model (SaaS) and make BinMan^® available to you via the Internet for the agreed contract period (without limitation with regard to tracked packaging types, own company accounts, logins/users, etc.). For the use of BinMan^® we charge you a monthly service fee per location1 including all user access and server costs with 99.9% guaranteed server availability.

Although we offer BinMan^® as standard software, the actual business cases are usually very individual, which is why we cannot make a blanket statement in advance about the costs to be expected for the implementation of BinMan^®. We will be happy to calculate an individual price indication for you. All we need is the following information:

• At how many locations is the use of a container management system to be implemented?
• How many transactions² do you have per month and location1?
• How many exchange partners³ should use the software in the future?
• How is container management currently implemented at your company? Have you already established a solution or is there currently no tracking of the movements of returnable packaging?

Sehr gern stellen wir Ihnen BinMan^® in einem unverbindlichen Termin anhand einer Live-Demo vor. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns hierzu unter binman@logsol.de.
