      The Value of RampMan® for All Decision-Makers

      Persona-GF_schmal

       

       

       

       

      For Management

      • Other projects currently take priority.

      With LOGSOL handling the implementation, the internal workload remains minimal—providing quick relief and a real boost to digitalization.

      • Is the investment really worth it?

      Up and running in a maximum of 30 days with minimal implementation effort—pays for itself within 4 months at the latest

      For IT Managers

      • Integration into our existing system landscape seems too complex, both technically and in terms of resources.

      The integration effort is deliberately kept to a minimum: no changes to the existing system architecture, use of standardized interfaces, and optional, phased expansion instead of a big bang.

      • Internal IT staff are available for support.

      Software operation, maintenance, and support are handled entirely by LOGSOL.

      For Logistics

      • Our processes work differently, and we often have to adapt to the market—so how is this supposed to work?

      Configuration adjustments can be made independently at any time during operations—offering maximum flexibility when new requirements arise.

      • Freight forwarders and suppliers will not use the tool.

      Ease of use, no costs, and high planning reliability create strong incentives for everyone to participate.

        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.
