Dock/Slot Management

With SupplyOn’s Dock/Slot Management, loading and unloading can be coordinated in an optimized way. Time slots and loading docks can be booked when the transport order is placed and simply adjusted or changed later, if necessary. Workload, staff, and facilities can be planned in terms of expected loading times and required loading equipment.

With the real-time insight into the current conditions at the ramps, companies can react quickly to changes and thus avoid capacity bottlenecks, congestion, and long lead times.

Key features:

1. Uncomplicated time slot booking by scheduling or logistics service providers. Shipment data can be transferred directly from the TMS
2. Calculation of estimated loading times at the ramp based on the announced freight quantity and the required loading equipment
3. Real-time overview of the current capacity at the loading ramps
4. Prioritization and flexible rescheduling of loading operations
5. Transparency of truck entries and exits as well as their dwell time on the yard
6. Central, simplified connection to 2,500 logistics service providers worldwide

Your benefits:

1. Up to 25% higher loading capacities due to better preparation and more efficient processing of loading and unloading
2. Up to 40% reduction in waiting times and charges by avoiding congestion and capacity bottlenecks at the ramp and on the yard
3. Reduced process costs through a centralized, electronic system for managing loading capacities, minimizing manual processes and reducing the workload on dispatchers
