What is Ro-Ro Cargo?
Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) cargo refers to wheeled or self-propelled goods that can be driven onto ships, trucks, or railcars. Common examples include:
- Passenger cars, trucks, and heavy equipment
- Agricultural machinery and construction vehicles
- Trailers and semi-trailers
Solvo.TOS for Ro-Ro Cargo
Handling Ro-Ro cargo is complex — from managing diverse vehicle types to coordinating documentation and integrating with broader logistics workflows. Traditional systems often lead to delays, inefficiencies, and rising costs.
Our system is engineered to optimize Ro-Ro logistics with precision and flexibility. It enables cargo registration by VIN number, accelerates vehicle release to drivers, and ensures accurate tracking of roll trailer specifications. Designed to handle complex configurations — including coupled, sandwich, and roll trailer combinations — it also supports precise positioning of machinery and Ro-Ro cargo. With customizable business logic and full operational control across rail, truck, barge, and vessel transport, the platform delivers comprehensive management for every stage of Ro-Ro operations.
Solvo.TOS transforms Ro-Ro operations with intelligent automation and full visibility across every step.

Special Focus: Mobile Application for Vehicle Surveyors
Operations
To elevate the precision and efficiency of Ro-Ro cargo handling, Solvo.TOS introduces a dedicated mobile application tailored for vehicle surveyors. Built on the internationally recognized AIAG standard, the app ensures accurate inspection and documentation of vehicles during terminal entry and exit.
Designed for real-world conditions, the app allows surveyors to configure inspection parameters based on weather, time of day, and vehicle condition (e.g., clean, soiled, snow/ice-covered), ensuring consistent and reliable assessments.
Key Capabilities
- 🚗 VIN & Barcode Scanning for instant vehicle identification
- 🛠️ Customizable Inspection Templates for passenger cars, trucks, and special equipment
- 📸 Photo Documentation with Graphical Markup Tools to record and highlight damages
- 🌦️ Adaptive Settings for weather and lighting conditions to ensure inspection accuracy
This mobile solution streamlines the damage reporting process, reduces human error, and enhances transparency — making it an essential tool for modern Ro-Ro logistics.
