TRAVIS Parking solution integrated into Boekestijn Transport Service’s TMS
Challenge:
Boekestijn Transport Service, one of the frontrunners in the European transport industry, using TRAVIS for several years already to manage their secured parking needs across Europe. While this partnership had already streamlined many aspects of their operations, there was still room for improvement. Planners were still required to switch between TRAVIS’s platform and their existing Transport Management System (TMS) to manage parking services, which led to inefficiencies. Recognizing this, Boekestijn saw that further integration of TRAVIS within their existing systems could significantly improve time management and operational flow by consolidating all tasks into a single system.
Solution:
To address this, Boekestijn deepened their partnership with TRAVIS, integrating the parking services directly into their existing TMS. This enhanced integration allowed Boekestijn to manage their parking needs entirely from within their TMS dashboard, eliminating the need to navigate between multiple platforms.
The solution provided Boekestijn with real-time data on parking availability, pricing, and other critical information, all within their TMS. This not only simplified the booking process but also made it easier to manage changes and cancellations on the go. The integration ensured that planners could make quick, informed decisions without the added hassle of juggling separate systems, ultimately saving time and reducing the likelihood of errors.
“We reduce the time spent on each parking event by about 65%, which, given the number of dispatchers, adds up to a substantial time savings. Additionally, the module streamlines the booking and cancellation process, providing instant updates on parking availability, which further saves time and reduces the cost of unused parking bookings by 44%. The real-time pricing information is particularly beneficial. Overall, this integration greatly improves our efficiency and has a positive impact on our business.”

Results:
The full integration of TRAVIS secured parking solutions delivered substantial benefits to Boekestijn Transport Service:
- Streamlined operations: By consolidating parking management into one system, Boekestijn
reduced the time spent on each parking event by 65% . This allowed dispatchers to allocate their time more efficiently across other critical tasks.
- Cost efficiency: The integration led to a
44% reduction in costs associated with unused parking bookings. Real-time updates on availability and pricing ensured that planners could optimize routes and make cost-effective decisions.
- Improved workflow: With all necessary information accessible within the TMS, planners no longer needed to switch between systems, simplifying their workflow and reducing the risk of errors.
The partnership between TRAVIS and Boekestijn continues to evolve, with plans to explore new features and services that will further optimize their logistics operations. The successful integration of parking services into their TMS sets the stage for future advancements, ensuring that Boekestijn remains at the forefront of innovation in the transport industry.
