Live translation at a port terminal
At a busy port terminal near Antwerp, around 3,000 trucks can pass through in a day. Many drivers come from Eastern Europe and may only speak Polish, Bulgarian, Romanian or another local language. Operators cannot cover every language. AnswerPal lets the driver speak in their own language and lets the operator hear and answer in their own language.
Drivers may not speak Dutch, English or French, while operators cannot cover every driver language.
AnswerPal supports the conversation; operational decisions remain with the terminal operator.
Before versus today
The important difference is not the phone call itself. It is whether the operator understands the driver quickly enough to resolve exceptions safely.
Before
Driver arrives
A truck reaches an automated crane or terminal checkpoint.
Problem occurs
Container, position, button, loading order or procedure does not match expectations.
Operator is contacted

Language slows down resolution
The driver may speak a language the operator does not understand.
