Delays at check-in quickly snowball—slower turnarounds, disrupted schedules, unhappy customers. One proven fix? Smarter, cloud-based reservation systems that streamline and automate check-in. But not every operator can rely on 100% pre-booked deck space. So what else can be done to keep turnaround times tight and operations smooth?
✅ Online Check-in
Let passengers confirm their booking details before they even arrive—including vehicle type, passenger info, dangerous goods declarations, and other time-consuming details. This reduces congestion, avoids last-minute data entry by staff, and ensures accurate load planning in advance.
📊 Transparency of Load Operations
Real-time reservation data gives crews a clear picture of the upcoming vehicle mix.
With the right tools, that information is displayed in a single dashboard in the palm of your hand with things like:
- Who / what is already checked in and ready to board
- Who / what is still yet to arrive
- A live breakdown of each freight type: EVs, wide loads, buggies, high/low vehicles—whatever your operation requires.
The result? Faster, more confident deck planning and fewer surprises at the ramp.
❌ No.More.Paper
Stop printing tickets. There are faster, smarter ways to check passengers in:
- QR code scanning
- On-site lookup by name or reservation number
- Staff-friendly digital boarding lists
With a modern system, your team should never have to print anything again. Save time, reduce errors, and keep both hands on the operation.
Digital tools won’t fix every challenge — we can’t make people walk faster – but they do give your crew the time, visibility, and control to fix the ones that matter most.
Systems like Ferryhawk are built to reduce delays, improve boarding flow, and help you get back to what matters:
