Automation of your entire logistics process

We offer software solutions that optimise your entire logistics chain. From order processing to planning, from execution to invoicing: our applications cover all process activities and provide link-ups with the external systems of, for example, customers and shipping lines. By automating both internal processes and external links, you can scale up faster, minimise costs and increase security at the terminal.

Inland terminals

Your personal sparring partner

Every terminal is unique. Processes may deviate from the standards and each terminal has different priorities. With more than 25 years of experience, we have accumulated in-depth knowledge of your processes and we know where your (automation) priorities lie. In consultation with you, we map out your entire logistics chain and convert your (customised) needs into concrete IT solutions.

“We are delighted with the set-up of our new multi-leg system. Because it is now possible to record transport in detail, it is possible to provide more information to the customer. The system is also better equipped for the reuse of containers. Modality’s team is involved and has guided us well during the transition to the new system, both within office hours and at weekends.”
