Results you can measure.

Every Pinntec deployment starts with an operational efficiency audit and ends with numbers. Here are three of them.

Distribution & logistics

Automated Gatehouse at a major UK distribution centre

ROI in 8 months

Problem

A manned gatehouse processed every vehicle manually. Drivers left their cabs to book in, queues built at peak times, and the site carried the full labour cost of a round-the-clock gatehouse team for a process that added no value.

Solution

Our automated on-site booking and log-in and log-out system with ANPR entry. Drivers are recognised on approach and booked in from the cab. The system manages the end-to-end flow of vehicle, driver and load, standalone or integrated with the site WMS.

Result

Smoother traffic flow, heightened safety and security, a full digital record of every vehicle movement, and a step change in site labour cost. Typical payback for large operators is only eight months.

Asset management

Smart lockers for warehouse device handover

68% faster handover

Problem

Warehouse colleagues queued at a manned desk at every shift change to collect and return scanners and radios. Devices went missing, batteries were flat, and operatives lost productive minutes every single day.

Solution

Signifi asset management lockers with automated book out and return, charging in every compartment, and full tracking of who holds what. Secure dispensing robotics safeguard high-value equipment 24/7/365.

Result

Handover time fell by 68% versus manual handover. Queue reduction gave each device an average 20 extra minutes of use per day, and equipment loss halved, improving both productivity and health and safety compliance.

Healthcare

Pharmacy click and collect lockers for the NHS

24/7/365 collection

Problem

Busy hospital dispensaries meant long queues for patients collecting prescriptions, with collection only possible during opening hours, and skilled staff tied up handing over pre-packed medicines.

Solution

Self-service smart lockers for prescription medicines placed inside and outside hospital and health centre buildings, giving patients queue-free collection with a code sent to their phone.

Result

Queue-free, stress-free collections around the clock, shorter queues in the dispensary itself, and pharmacy staff freed for clinical, value-adding work instead of handovers.
