Working on safety togetherWorking on safety togetherWorking on safety togetherWorking on safety togetherOne of the fastest growing and advanced retailers in Europe:• Following the successful trial at one of the DCs, the retailer have decided to integrate

the Dock Control System into all its ”goods-in” bays across the network • Increased safety by preventing premature departure of vehicles
