Rietlanden terminals
Reporting and planning tool for the port of Amsterdam

Reporting tool and ship planning at the Amsterdam port
Rietlanden Terminals BV. has a rich history in the port of Amsterdam and has become a major player in coal transhipment. This international organisation offers its customers a total package in the distribution, handling, and storage of dry bulk. It is also linked to global market development and spread within the energy market.


Problem statement
Rietlanden previously managed and coordinated distribution, handling, and storage in the Amsterdam port using Excel. This Excel file consisted of complex calculations and had many limitations. Besides the static nature of the Excel sheets, Rietlanden could not link systems and assign users(roles), among other things.
Business case
ietlanden Terminals BV. was therefore looking for a malleable software solution in which all the calculations and tabs in Excel were accessible in a responsive application.
- More control and insight into purchasing processes and stock
- Automation and visualization of complex calculations
- Structured workflow
- Generation of (boat) reports
- Planning insight and management
- Implementation of various links
- Adding roles and rights (multi-user)


Effective planning and reporting
With the development of a reporting tool and ship scheduling, Excel files have given way to an accessible and responsive software solution. With the linking of these applications, the entire workflow runs structurally, complex calculations are automated and made visually transparent, and the planning of machinery and materials can easily be managed.
Key functionalities
Generating boat reports
Generating boat reports gives a complete overview of all boat data and specifications. Not only does this facilitate cargo processing, but this functionality also creates an overview of the progression within ports. With an implemented export functionality, processes can be managed and stored in the administration.
Strict scheduling of boats and cranes
With the help of vessel scheduling and capacity planning, both boats and cranes can be strictly managed. The link between vessel scheduling and boat reports makes scheduling boats based on available data quick and easy.
Automating and visualising complex calculations
The software now seamlessly recognises and executes calculations previously recorded in Excel. Among other things, these automatic calculations are used to determine the running time of cranes and boats and to generate (boat) reports. The addition of various graphs makes data visually clear and understandable.
