To support such exceptional growth, Challenge Handling goes big on technological enhancements. Two apps will be launched: the Truck Slot Booking Application and the Operational Handling Application will facilitate and improve live data capture. In addition, truck loading software will speed up the handling of perishables, and 24/7 digital live tracking and monitoring of ramp activities will help to identify areas of improvement and enable fast action in case of irregularities. These efficiency measures are complemented by fast, round-the-clock customs clearance at Liège.
Technological enhancements are also planned in Challenge Handling’s security processes. They include biometric and face recognition access control, 24/7 security CCTV monitoring, and a new integrity test as part of the recruitment process.
Challenge Handling will also be investing in electrical cars on the ramp, electrical tractors, and other greener GPU equipment this year.
