Language Translation Software for Supply Chain

Pocketalk, a provider of translation solutions, today announces availability of Ventana, its administration panel that allows organisations to gain insights from the language needs in their business, make data driven decisions and govern control over devices. For the first time companies can now gain control over real-time translation insights and management, revolutionising communication and removing language barriers.

Organisations will have the ability to securely export data from the Pocketalk devices to analyse data points such as the most used languages and usage to aid better business decisions.

Driven by customer demand Ventana was developed to be a centralised hub that allows users to group devices, analyse data and remotely manage functions to ensure safe and appropriate usage of the Pocketalks within the organisation. Security and privacy remain the cornerstone of Pocketalk and Ventana is no exception. Access to Ventana can be limited to those within an organisation with the need and requirement to access translation insight in order to improve services, offerings and support.

“Today many organisations engage with translation services in one form or another. Whether it be in person, via a phone service or through software such as Google Translate. The challenge is monitoring and analysing this activity is almost impossible, prohibiting organisations from making informed decisions when it comes to translation services based on need, “ explains Jessica O’Dwyer, General Manager, Europe, Pocketalk. “However, with Ventana you can now get that crucial insight from how many languages are being translated, to where translation is most in demand or whether there is a new demand. All of which can help improve efficiency and resourcing in a cost effective, secure way.

Features

• Privacy-First Approach: GDPR compliant Ventana is designed as a privacy-first solution, aligning with Pocketalk’s commitment to safeguarding company and personal data. Ventana prioritises the security of information and ensures it is protected with above industry standards through robust product features, stringent policies, and rigorous procedures. Users can have peace of mind, knowing their data is in safe hands.
• View and Export Data: Access and export data on the languages being used and how frequently and where. This valuable insight allows organisations to make data-driven decisions and optimise their translation strategies.
• Group Device Management: Group devices and gain visibility into which areas of the organisation utilise the devices most frequently. This feature enables decision makers to optimise device usage and allocate resources efficiently.
• Device Management: Manage individual devices, ensuring smooth operation and peak performance. Users can monitor device functions and receive timely alerts in case of any issues, allowing them to take proactive measures to address concerns.

“The Ventana launch is further demonstration of how Pocketalk is committed to power conversations anywhere, at any time. Our commitment to #allspokenhere means we want everyone to have a voice and Ventana enables this to now happen across organisations such as hospitals to banks and parent teacher meetings. We are very excited about the future of language translation and our role in being able to support communications,” added O’Dwyer.

Today, the UK supply chain and logistics sector continue to face talent shortages. Historically, it has called upon international workers to fill roles such as driver and warehouse operatives, which has resulted in a highly diverse workforce, embracing people from all different nationalities, ethnicities, and cultures. According to research by Prologis UK, 12% of the logistics, warehousing, and supply chain workers in the UK as of mid-2023 were non-native English speakers. With this comes language barriers and communication challenges.

Pocketalk’s translation device is already helping in the logistics sector to bridge the gap, with its handheld device that translates into 84 languages instantly, including lesser spoken languages and dialects, quickly, accurately and safely.

Megacentre for Spices and Herbs Opens

From anise to cinnamon, Greiwing logistics for you GmbH is extending its service portfolio and focusing more on the handling of spices and herbs. To better meet the increased requirements of the customers, the logistics specialist is expanding its location in the Hamburg Harbour. To that end, the corporate group in the Vollhöfner Weiden has acquired a large 28,000 square metre property and thus has one of the largest logistics centres for spices and herbs in Germany and Europe. 20 employees will work at the new location.. Under the name ‘GREIWING spice logistics for you’, GREIWING as a full-service provider represents a single source for all food logistics services from import processing to value added services to delivery to end customers.

“The handling of spices and herbs requires a high level of expertise and the greatest care. Each product has its own needs and characteristics and requires different treatments. In our corporate group, we have more than 70 years of experience in this field. With the expansion of our services in one of the largest maritime ports of Europe, we see an enormous potential for the extension of our activities in the food sector,” says Jürgen Greiwing, managing partner of GREIWING logistics for you GmbH.

The large 28,000 square metre property is located in Altenwerder in the Vollhöfner Weiden and has more than 40,000 pallet spaces. Due to its close proximity to the container terminals and to Autobahn 7, customers will benefit from the short distances. “With our added location, we quadruple our capacities and thereby offer our customers a broader range of services and dedicated solutions,” says Greiwing.

The scope of services in food logistics primarily includes: de-metallisation, sieving, cleaning and disinfection in autoclaves. Depending on the customer’s wish, thorough processing of all goods is individually possible. Furthermore, Greiwing takes care of the import and export, container trucking, storage, transfer of the goods, and quality control. Both locations are customs bonded warehouses and approved veterinarian locations.

For a uniform appearance under one roof, all services are managed under the existing company name ‘GREIWING spice logistics for you’. Greiwing explains: “This way we create a central touchpoint for new and existing customers and clearly show: We take care of everything!“

Transition Tool for Informed Fleet Electrification

Webfleet, Bridgestone’s global fleet management solution, has launched the EV Transition Tool to support businesses transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) or expanding their EV fleets. This innovative solution, the first resulting directly from the recently introduced EV Services Platform, promises to transform the way fleets approach electrification, helping them to meet sustainability targets and run efficient, reliable operations.

In collaboration with leaders from the energy and mobility industries, the Webfleet EV Transition Tool is designed to demystify and simplify the process of transitioning to electric vehicles using a single platform.

By leveraging their own fleet data, customers can assess their readiness for electrification, estimate the total cost of ownership (TCO) for going electric, the operational cost and CO2 savings.
Additionally, they can gain valuable insights into the most suitable EV models and the estimated charging infrastructure needed for their specific operations.

The tool not only simplifies the decision-making process for fleet managers but also allows them to directly reach out to leading energy and mobility service providers – partners of the EV Services Platform. Initially, customers can directly connect to VEV, Heliox, The Mobility House, CTEK, Justplugin, ChargeGuru and Zeplug for end-to-end charging solutions across depots, workplaces and homes, streamlining the setup of charging infrastructure.

“Our goal is to take the guesswork out of the EV transition for our customers, based on their own fleet data,” said Taco Olthoff, EV Programme Director of Bridgestone Mobility Solutions. “By providing fleets of all sizes with a quick TCO estimation, they can kick-start their electrification journey without the need for time-consuming and costly consultancy. Users can then take the next steps to electrification, supported by our network of expert partners, directly accessible within the tool itself.”

The introduction of the Webfleet EV Transition Tool marks a significant step forward in fleet electrification support. The solution utilises fleet data for customised fleet electrification plans at no extra cost to European Webfleet customers subscribed to specific tariffs.
