Yard Visit Portal is a part of Time Slot Management specifically designed to address the challenges carriers face in scheduling and managing yard appointments.
Unlike legacy systems that prioritise shippers' needs - our solution offers a completely redesigned intuitive experience, centralising all buyers and suppliers information in one view and eliminating repetitive tasks and awkward navigation. Dispatchers gain the critical flexibility to book slots even before driver and vehicle details are finalised, adding the essential information when it’s genuinely available.
CHALLENGES
Challenges we solve
Lack of centralised overview
There’s no single consolidated view to identify all slots that need booking, leading to inefficient switching between sessions and often requiring multiple logins.
Implementation paralysis
Carriers perceive limited control over the slot booking process, as much of it is dictated by the shipper.
Lack of TMS integration
Many carriers are limited to manual slot booking because their own TMS cannot integrate with current TSM solutions.
Information black hole
There is a challenge with transparency and consistent information flow between carriers, buyers and suppliers regarding shipments and yard visits beyond the initial booking.
Fragmented booking methods
Carriers must deal with a variety of non-standardised slot processing methods across different shippers, including excel sheets, emails - or no system at all.
