Our next-gen Time Slot Management is an advanced cloud-based solution that transforms the scheduling and management of vehicle movements at warehouses and distribution centres.
It provides real-time visibility, precise timings, and enhanced automation, transforming your yards into efficient connected hubs.
CHALLENGES
Challenges we solve
Limited visibility and coordination
Suppliers, buyers, and carriers lack real-time visibility into each other's operations, causing errors and costly delays from incomplete information.
Planning-execution gaps:
Without integrated systems, warehouses can't optimise docks and carriers can't plan routes effectively, creating supply chain bottlenecks.
Reactive problem solving
Delayed communication of issues prevents proactive problem-solving, amplifying disruptions throughout the supply chain.
Manual workload
Teams waste valuable resources on repetitive tasks like phone calls, emails and spreadsheet updates instead of focusing on strategic initiatives.
Inflexible & rigid systems
Businesses struggle with inflexible software that doesn't accommodate their unique processes, limiting operational efficiency.

TIME SLOT MANAGEMENT
How it works
1. Capacity planning
Warehouse managers create reusable capacity templates for standardised dock availability, resource limits and operational frameworks across sites.
2. Plan and configure
Managers establish business rules and policies with partners, creating a structured appointment framework.
3. Book appointments
Partners book slots via self-service portal while warehouse staff schedule shipments through an intuitive interface, with automatic rule validation.
4. Integrate and execute
Appointment data syncs with WMS, TMS and ERP systems via GS1 APIs, with native integrations for Transporeon users.
5. Monitor and optimise
Track appointments in real-time from check-in to check-out, analysing performance data to improve operations.
"With Time Slot Management, we aim to make dock scheduling more dynamic by identifying which trucks are arriving earlier and which are arriving later.
The real-time, end-to-end visibility that Transporeon offers is a great help to us."
