Challenges

Congestion of deliveries at the loading bay

Lack of visibility into when vehicles arrive on-site

Long, costly wait times for truck deliveries & manual, time-consuming check-in process

Solutions

Created time slots for contractors to book deliveries

Provided data for analysing which contractors are showing up on time for their bookings

Ability to contact on-site drivers in real-time

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

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.

Reducing Congestion

“Our stand builders complimented us saying this was the smoothest build we ever had. They got their work done much quicker using Voyage Control.”
