The yard management software created by Peripass is becoming increasingly popular. “It is striking how many companies invest in making production lines and warehouses as efficient as possible but lack insights into what happens outside the walls of their facility,” says Leander Naessens, CEO of Peripass.

“By digitally registering trucks and making them wait in a parking lot, the logistics heart of industrial sites can make better choices,” the CEO continues. “Which trucks are there? Who is too early or is still expected? Which loads are ready? Which raw materials are needed?” Peripass is convinced that its software can reduce waiting costs by 85%.

Peripass is a Ghent-based IT company specializing in supply chain management. Founded in 2016, the young company is active at more than 120 logistics and production sites across Europe, with customers such as H.Essers, Vandemoortele, Bridgestone, Alpro and Saint-Gobin. Today, Peripass employs 39 people in Ghent, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Paris.

The company has invested heavily in recent years to fine-tune its product. In a first capital round it already raised EUR 7 million from the Van Overstraeten family. Peripass wants to close a new investment round before the end of 2022 to be able to capitalize on the expected growth in the supply chain management sector.
