Transnova, a leading transport management solution (TMS) provider, has partnered with ATG Digital to bridge a long-standing gap in logistics operations – the disconnect between planned schedules and real-world site activity. Transnova’s platform now integrates directly with ATG Digital’s real-time access control data, combining transport planning and execution intelligence to enable a more connected, responsive supply chain.
The integration enables verified access data captured at the point of entry – including truck registration, driver identity, and timestamps – to feed directly into Transnova’s platform. Within Transnova’s logistics control tower, this data is continuously reconciled against planned transport movements, enabling real-time alignment between plan and execution. This provides logistics teams with a single, accurate source of truth that reflects what actually occurred on-site.
Traditionally, transport management systems rely on scheduled data such as expected arrival times and assigned drivers. However, changes on the ground – from delays to driver swaps – often result in discrepancies that impact both access control and operational efficiency. By integrating real-world execution data into transport planning, Transnova enables teams to identify, prioritise, and resolve these exceptions proactively, rather than reacting after the fact.
This integration addresses that challenge by intelligently linking real-world site activity with planned transport movements – without placing additional administrative burden on security teams or requiring drivers to provide extra information on arrival. The result is not just improved visibility, but a foundation for more proactive decision-making across transport and site operations.
By leveraging data already captured at the point of access, Transnova’s platform translates this visibility into actionable insights that enable continuous optimisation of transport execution and site performance – while keeping site operations simple and efficient. There’s no need for additional check-in processes or specialised hardware, allowing sites to improve accuracy without slowing down throughput.
By introducing real-time, scan-based entry data into the process, Transnova and ATG Digital are enabling a unified, real-time view of logistics execution – supporting precise measurement of vehicle turnaround times, improved accountability across stakeholders, and more informed operational planning. At the same time, the integration reduces reliance on external tracking or telemetry solutions, while still delivering a comprehensive view of all site activity.
The integration allows clients to:
- Accurately track how long vehicles spend on-site
- Identify delays caused by missed or early time slots
- Optimise staffing, loading bays, and site capacity
- Improve coordination between logistics partners and site teams
One of the early implementations is within the Tiger Brands environment, where the shift from manual to automated data capture has significantly improved accuracy and visibility. By integrating this data into Transnova’s transport execution platform, Tiger Brands can now measure, analyse, and improve site performance with far greater precision – managing capacity more effectively and addressing inefficiencies that were previously difficult to validate.
This partnership reflects a broader industry shift towards data-driven logistics, where operational decisions are no longer based on assumptions, but on real, verifiable insights.
Transnova’s integration with ATG Digital represents a meaningful step forward in how supply chains are managed – connecting access control with transport management to enable a new standard for integrated, real-time supply chain execution. For Transnova clients, this means greater control, sharper visibility, and a platform that reflects not just what was planned, but what actually happened.
