      Time slot management with RampMan® - Your questions, our answers

      There is no minimum number of ramps for the use of RampMan®. RampMan® is used by companies with anywhere from one to over 50 ramps and is suitable for companies of any size thanks to its attractive conditions.

      We offer our RampMan® software as a SaaS model and provide RampMan® via the Internet for the agreed contract period, with no restrictions on bookings, users, or companies. The monthly service fee per location includes all user access, bookings, and server costs, with 99.9% guaranteed availability.

      For an initial price indication, we require the following information:

      • Number of locations
      • Approximate monthly number of deliveries and pickups per location
      • Number of ramps, gates, and unloading areas
      • Number of freight forwarders who will use the software
      • Current solution for time slot management (if available)

      The RampMan® standard software is delivered quickly after ordering, usually within three to six weeks. Implementation may take slightly longer for customer-specific adaptations. The exact duration depends on your requirements and the quality of the master data.

      During the software implementation, you will be supported by an experienced product manager who will assist you with requirements analysis, software customization, employee training, and go-live. The software will be fully configured based on your master data. For the training of key users and administrators, we implement the “training-the-trainer” concept, where training takes place on-site or via web conference. Key users then pass on the knowledge internally.

      We offer RampMan® as a hosted solution on dedicated servers in a German high-security data center with 99.9% guaranteed server availability. Data transmission is encrypted (SSL), and access to RampMan® is password-protected. Automated backups protect against data loss. Both LOGSOL GmbH and our hosting service provider are ISO/IEC 27001 certified, which guarantees the high security of information, data, and systems.

      In principle, any system can be connected to RampMan®. Data can be exchanged between RampMan® and other systems via interfaces. The interfaces are implemented on a project-specific basis and are individually evaluated and implemented according to the specific requirements of the customer.

      RampMan® is continuously developed in terms of its functionality and safety aspects. Enhancements and improvements are made available to our customers free of charge after an update has been scheduled. Our internal roadmap, as well as input from various customer projects and their requirements, allow the RampMan® standard software to grow and optimize continuously.

      Time slot management is relevant for all companies with regular goods turnover—especially in retail, manufacturing, and logistics. Whether you have a small warehouse or a large distribution center, as soon as you have multiple shipments to handle every day, a systematic time slot process will make things noticeably easier.
