A Usual Day vs. A Day With Hardman

Knowing What You Have To Do

Usually: You pull a list from the ERP with the transport or delivery planning for tomorrow. This list changes, so you have to constantly refresh it.

With Hardman: Hardman integrates with the ERP and always has up-to-date change information. The system alerts you if a change negatively impacts you: last-minute container cancellation, late transport, etc.

You recover 33% of your time for high value tasks

Notifying Everyone What They Have To Do

Usually: You take the list, cut it by transporter or supplier, and for some clients that handle their own transport, you confirm with them.

With Hardman: Hardman understands the tasks and who should perform them. It automatically notifies the right people what to do and when it’s expected. The messages are informative: task details, km, weights, everything needed, and allows reservation.

You recover 33% of your time for high-value tasks

Truck Allocation

Usually: Some tasks require more than one truck. Purchase or sales orders may be large and require calculating how many trucks will be needed.

With Hardman: Hardman does the truck allocation itself. It also allows you to add trucks, group them, etc., even by the clients or suppliers themselves — so you don’t have to coordinate schedules.

You recover 10% of your time for high-value tasks

Scheduling

Usually: You make calls or coordinate with transporters and clients about arrival times. If they change, you take it into account. Sometimes you just give windows: you come from 10 to 12, you from 11 to 13, and go with the flow. This still doesn’t prevent peak or low traffic times.

With Hardman: Scheduling happens “automatically.” Transporters, clients, and suppliers select the time that works best for them. Don’t worry — the system ensures no violation of your loading constraints.

Zero Impossibilities

Double Commitments

Usually: Your commitments aren’t very strong — you say things like: “he should arrive around 10,” or “sometime between 10 and 12,” and continue like that.

With Hardman: The slot is fully defined. We can theoretically predict when the truck arrives, how long it takes to open, to load, etc. This allows you to tighten planning and squeeze out maximum efficiency from your resources.

Punctuality above 90%

Documentation

Usually: Some loads need extra documentation. You have to check if you’ve received the numbers… if the invoice is attached, etc.

With Hardman: Hardman ensures a load can enter, lets you set requirements, and automatically follows up if they are missing.
 Example: “You have a reservation, but we still need your sanitary certificate number. You have until 6 PM or we’ll cancel your reservation.”

You recover 10% of your time for high-value tasks

Dock Assignment

Usually: When trucks arrive, they go to shipping. You must know what they are here for, identify them, find a dock, make them wait, call them when ready, etc.

With Hardman: Our systems can automatically manage dock assignment — at the time of reservation, arrival, or calling — it handles the entire process autonomously.

Saves 90% of your time for high-value tasks

Shipping Booth

Usually: You receive them, put them on hold, call them, etc.

With Hardman: Our app fully digitizes this process. The kiosk and our systems ensure all data is in place before beginning. Digital documentation handles the rest. The driver wouldn’t even need to get out of the truck — except to open the doors.

Saves 90% of shipping booth tasks

Security Checkpoint

Usually:  Security control, which is really just a welcome protocol?

With Hardman: Our app fully digitizes this process. The kiosk and systems ensure all data is in place beforehand. Digital documentation handles the rest. The driver wouldn’t even need to get out of the truck — except to open the doors.

Saves 98% of truck-related security tasks

Customer Notifications

Usually: You have a customer support department because sometimes you get calls like: “Where is my load?”, “I need to reschedule,” etc.

With Hardman: Our systems notify and keep your clients informed. They can see the status of each order, where it is, attached documents, etc. They can also request changes directly.

Improves client confidence

Testimonials

Here from our customers about how Hardman changed their company.

We have a good product but we lost control when it was loaded onto the truck, now we respond even before delivering it. We have detected a big difference in the opinion that our clients have of us.

Carol Saline –
Logistic Manager

It has been vital to improve our indicators. Curiously, we improve month by month, let’s see how far we get. What surprised us most is that the improvement was noticed in the first month of analysis.

Cristina Martinez –
Logistic Manager

It was like putting on glasses. We now have a clear and trustworthy vision of all our expeditions: past, present, and future. For we are proactively alerting you when there is a problem with a delivery.

Federico Vidal –
Sales Manager

We came from a system that clearly surpassed us. We really spend very little time on follow-up. The notification mechanism allows us to rest assured that everything is going according to plan.
