Terminal Instruction Module (TIM)
Instruction tailored to your tank terminal.

Are you looking for a solution to instruct haulage drivers as well as self-collecting customers in a resource-saving way? At VTA Software & Service GmbH, we have developed software that helps you save time as well as fulfill your loading obligations. With our contactless Terminal Instruction Module, your employees can customize which information is conveyed and thus retain full control over the entire training process at all times.

Briefing of drivers and self-collecting customers delays loading.

As a responsible tank terminal operator, you know how important it is to comply with strict safety regulations: loading may only be carried out by persons who have received appropriate instruction. Especially in the case of self-haulers, it is of great importance that drivers* receive expert instruction before their first pickup as well as at regular intervals. Until now, this training was usually conducted on site. This meant that the drivers had to appear at fixed office hours. This often led to long waiting times and delays in operations. A far from ideal situation, considering how tight time is in the tank terminal.

  • Long waiting times and traffic jams due to time-consuming first-time visitor training sessions

  • On-site trainings put an enormous strain on your team

  • Safety risks due to inadequate or incomplete briefings

Benefit
from the Terminal Instruction Module!

Our Terminal Instruction Module offers you a flexible, efficient, and contactless way to properly instruct shipping drivers and self-pickup customers. In doing so, SIDEFLOW-TIM imparts comprehensive knowledge that is essential for safe loading: starting with your tank farm regulations, through site-specific shipping procedures, to the correct use of your filling equipment. What makes our software so unique? Loading points can adapt the training content to their individual requirements; drivers can conveniently complete the instruction online before their (first) visit - without being tied to fixed office hours. This flexible instruction offers you numerous advantages: You avoid bottlenecks and relieve your team. What's more, by imparting relevant knowledge in a targeted manner and easily managing all master data, you can ensure that everyone involved always has the latest information and complies with all loading obligations. This not only leads to faster product handling, but also to greater safety.

  • Automatic prompting when transferring data to loading point

  • Targeted instruction per loading point / loading type

  • Provision of instruction via web browser or execution at terminals at the loading point

  • Organization by forwarding agent or control room

  • Coupling to the release of the master data

  • Direct transfer of the results to the TAS

  • Instruction can be carried out in several languages
