LIS Integrates Parking Search in TMS WinSped

The LIS Logistische Informationssysteme GmbH presents a new feature in the Transport Management System (TMS) WinSped, which aims to solve one of the most pressing issues in the transport industry. In cooperation with Bosch L.OS (Logistics Operating System) and Bosch Secure Truck Parking, the search for secure truck parking spaces along the main traffic routes in Europe is set to be simplified.

(Greven) The integration of the parking booking system in WinSped allows users to check the availability of parking spaces along the planned route in real-time and book them directly through the Bosch Secure Truck Parking platform. The tool includes over 400 parking areas in Europe and simplifies efficient route planning for dispatchers and drivers while adhering to legal driving and rest times as well as delivery times.

“The transport sector has been waiting for years for a solution to relieve truck drivers and freight forwarders. Thanks to the seamless integration enabled by Bosch L.OS into our TMS WinSped, our users now have the opportunity to reliably plan their routes including breaks,” says Magnus Wagner, Co-CEO of LIS. The search for parking spaces causes an average time loss of more than 30 minutes per day, leading to additional personnel and fuel costs. Furthermore, truck parking booking through the Bosch platform offers 8 percent lower parking costs compared to conventional parking.

Integration into the Graphical Dispatching

Bosch Secure Truck Parking as part of the Graphical Dispatching allows WinSped users to display available parking spaces as so-called “Points of Interest” (PoI) on an integrated map during route planning. The parking spaces can be booked with just a few clicks and can be seamlessly integrated into the route planning. The driver only needs to follow the navigation when starting the route. Users of LIS also benefit from increased security, as the new feature helps to secure the integrity of the cargo and reduces safety risks for drivers and other road users.

Combining a Variety of Digital Services in One TMS

“Our insight is: Combining a variety of digital services in one TMS brings the greatest benefit to all parties involved, saving time, costs, and personnel resources. With WinSped, we aim exactly at that,” explains Wagner. The TMS acts as a central hub where Bosch Secure Truck Parking and other road services can be easily integrated via Bosch L.OS. Users enjoy the advantages of maximum convenience, as they can utilize various services within WinSped without having to deal with multiple programs and passwords. Additionally, the platform enhances safety and comfort for drivers and provides better planning options for dispatchers.
