Nallian's Truck Visit Management solution to revolutionize landside operations at dnata’s state-of-the-art Schiphol Airport facility dnata Cargo City Amsterdam

Landside operations at dnata Cargo City Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Brussels - 16 April 2025 — Nallian, IT solution provider to the air cargo industry, has been selected by leading global air and travel service provider dnata to streamline landside operations at its new, state-of-the-art facility, dnata Cargo City Amsterdam, at Schiphol Airport. Nallian's Truck Visit Management solution will leverage advanced slot booking technology to elevate cargo handling to unprecedented levels. The solution will integrate with other IT systems for optimal process automation and efficiency, from arrival through to departure. It will optimize resource planning and utilization, shorten dock turnaround, and provide granular data on operational performance.

A smooth flow of cargo and data

The new, automated warehouse dnata Cargo City Amsterdam will be able to process over 850,000 tonnes of cargo annually. Slot scheduling linked to automated access control and call-forwarding will allow dnata to efficiently coordinate freight pick-ups and drop-offs with forwarders and trucking companies and ensure a smooth truck flow at their closed-off yard. Integration with Hermes' Cargo Management System and Lödige's Terminal Management System further maximizes process automation and efficiency.

More control & better usage of resources

This approach gives dnata visibility on who will be visiting when and for which freight, as well as the freight status (security, customs, payment). This enables better staff planning, pro-active preparation of goods, optimal dock door usage, and fast and reliable service. Customers will enjoy priority service, shorter dock turnaround times, and service predictability. Data captured from arrival through to departure will provide granular insights into performance.

 "We are set to redefine the standards of cargo handling at dnata Cargo City Amsterdam. Nallian’s innovative system will support us in streamlining processes and enhancing control and visibility across our operations. With our new,  future-proof digital infrastructure, we are in the perfect position to meet the evolving demands of the air cargo industry and continue delivering exceptional service to our customers."

Tony Davies, Director of Operations at dnata 

"We are very excited to work with dnata on this innovative project. The new, automated warehouse is an example for the industry and this project demonstrates our product and team’s ability to optimize complex landside management processes. dnata has a clear ambition to drive efficiency through technology and we’re proud to work with them and raise the bar for modern cargo handling."

Jean Verheyen, CEO at Nallian

This project results from a collaboration between dnata, Nallian, BeCon projects, Hermes, and Lödige, and integrates with community initiatives such as E-Link and Smartloxs. The new facility and solution are scheduled to become operational mid 2025.
