The number one problem at Antwerp Expo has been on-site congestion. By using Voyage Control to book appointments via slot times with set capacities, we’ve solved this problem!
Time Saved
Exhibitors who booked using Voyage Control saved hours of waiting time compared to previous events. Drivers are able to get in within 5-10 minutes of queueing for their time slots.
Environmental Impact
We’ve helped the Local Community by decreasing carbon emissions. Drivers travelled 96,164 KMs more than the last event, but with the help of our scheduling software, average CO2 emissions dropped by 7 Kilograms.
Punctuality
Vehicles overstaying their time slots decreased 31% from last year, lowering overall queue time by 455 minutes. Also, no-shows were down 15% from last year, showing exhibitors are understanding and using the software efficiently.
“Our standbuilders complimented us saying this was the smoothest build we ever had. They got their work done much quicker using Voyage Control.”
