ADPO
ADPO transforms its manual processes with TheValueChain’s new planning tool, making booking time slots for trucks more efficient.
ADPO is a leading Belgian chemical logistics provider that helps chemical manufacturers safely store, transport, and distribute liquid bulk products through integrated supply chain solutions from the Port of Antwerp.
The challenge
The challenge
ADPO needed a more efficient way to schedule time slots for over 250 trucks visiting its sites each day.
The existing process relied on manual planning in SAP and Excel, requiring planners to manage multiple variables and constraints, which often led to errors, inefficiencies, and frustration.
The solution
The solution
Working with TheValueChain, ADPO developed a custom cloud-based time slot planning application on SAP Business Technology Platform.
The solution enables carriers to self-book available loading and unloading slots through an intuitive web portal, while automatically considering operational constraints.
“Thanks to integration with SAP, we can offer chemical companies valuable data on their transports and KPIs. Those insights can be highly valuable when consulting or negotiating with partners.”

Managing Director at ADPO
