With transLogiX from Rigilog, managing equipment procurement is a breeze

The Rigilog AG, with its procurement platform transLogiX, operates in a less noticed but still important area of logistics. With the platform, the company simplifies the procurement and management of workwear, protective equipment, and much more. transLogiX takes the tedious distribution of items off the customers’ hands and ensures delivery directly to the employees.

(Zurich/Berlin) Many transport companies, transport services, freight forwarders, and logistics companies face immense challenges in the procurement, management, and distribution of clothing, equipment, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), C-parts, IT equipment, keys, and much more, including ADR or hazardous materials equipment. To offer a perfectly tailored solution for the industry, Rigilog has now launched transLogiX.

Employees can manage their needs independently within their authorization

Employees can easily and independently order up to their previously set annual amount or optionally purchase additional items personally through e-commerce payment options. Submitted orders can be configured to trigger an automatic approval workflow, allowing senior team members to monitor the process. There is also the option for employees to order from anywhere at any time using their mobile devices. Sizes and necessities such as tailoring needs for special sizes, emblems, name tags, etc., are conveniently stored for the employee.

A particular concern for freight forwarders and transport companies is the requirements for hazardous goods transport according to ADR classes, with legal requirements for completeness and given inspection cycles of equipment and the possibility of proper securing of the load (warning signs, fire extinguishers, additional respiratory protection, special warning or visibility lights, shovels, mats, etc., depending on classification).

Planning the onboarding of new employees is straightforward. Initial equipment packages can be defined by job categories. For PPE and hazardous materials equipment, they can also be defined according to relevant protection standards or ADR classifications. With a 24-hour order and shipping tracking module, orders can be easily tracked on their way to the receiving location. Personal packages are ready for distribution to new employees in a timely manner. Confusions, misplaced, or lost orders are minimized.

Fully automated documentation for those responsible

Through appointments with reminders, inspection and maintenance deadlines for safety-relevant items as well as check-up appointments for employees (e.g., driver’s license, health test, ADR equipment, etc.) are monitored and managed. A frequent and necessary maintenance and inspection deadline effort (who, when, what, where) is fully automated and managed and documented for those responsible. The precisely correct data allows for better decision-making, report generation, inventory checks, project planning, and user and return management—all in real-time. The appropriate allocation of all costs to cost centers is a gain in transparency generated without additional effort.

High employee turnover is a challenge for most companies. When expensive clothing items like high-quality jackets are returned, washed, and reissued, it significantly contributes to the environmental balance and saves immense costs. With transLogiX, the administrative effort for this is minimal.

Informative, clear, and thus user-friendly

Even clearer, more informative, and thus more user-friendly: This could summarize Rigilog’s newly designed solution in a few words. A new website shortens the paths to relevant information for interested parties, providing visitors with a quick, relaxed overview of the benefits of transLogiX.

Also new is an ROI assessment, which calculates optimization potentials and compares them to costs. Illustrative use cases reflect the experiences of existing customers. Download links provide even deeper information on the use of the solution at Zurich’s transport companies and participation in a webinar on pitfalls in existing processes. With just one click, users can quickly access information on the costs of the SaaS solution. Particularly exciting is also access to a demo platform, allowing users to gain practical insights.
