Logistics software specialist Inform is providing an integrated and scalable cloud management system for Associated British Ports’ (ABP) vehicle terminal operations.
ABP is first rolling out the Automotive Terminal Operating System in the port of Southampton. It is designed to manage all port-side finished vehicle operations in a single application. The port operator aims to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of vehicle throughput using the technology.
ABP operates 21 ports in the UK, three of which handle finished vehicle traffic: Southampton on the south coast, and Grimsby and Immingham on the east coast Humber estuary. It moved around 1.1m vehicles through those facilities last year, with around half of that number going through Southampton (read more about operations last year in our annual report on the UK ports).
