Digital Transformation at GrupoRAS Container Yard
Streamlining container yard operations with digital payment integration and real-time access control
The Client
GrupoRAS is an international logistics operator with over 35 years of experience and a solid network of 45 offices across 11 countries in Latin America and Europe. The company is a benchmark in foreign trade services, multimodal transport, customs brokerage, bonded warehousing, and port operations. Its ecosystem includes operations in free trade zones, a strategic position within the Free Port framework, and deep expertise in regional transits connecting key markets across the Mercosur.
The Challenge
The previous process involved several critical inefficiencies: truck drivers often arrived without having completed payment, causing delays and denied access; late returns of containers lacked automated controls or alerts; payments were made via bank transfers and manually reconciled; invoices were generated at the end of each day with no integration to the ERP system. These friction points led to operational bottlenecks, human errors, and administrative overhead.
The Solution
Tech stack used:
We designed and developed a responsive web platform, accessible from any device, that digitizes the entire gate-in and gate-out process for empty containers — integrating payments, invoicing, access validation, and traceability.
- Instant online payment: integrated with Sistarbanc gateway, enabling immediate access upon confirmation.
- Automated invoicing: real-time integration with SAP.
- Live container status check: available to dispatchers, transporters, and gate staff.
- Full self-management: no calls, emails, or manual approvals needed.
- Smart access control: security staff can validate entry in seconds from a tablet.
- Multi-profile interface: tailored experience for each user role in the process.
