BENEFITS

Improve yard turnaround time

If you know arrival times, you can plan unloading times. If you see a driver is delayed, you can adjust. Dock & Yard Management gives warehouse managers the power to coordinate and optimise the movement of goods, increase the speed of handling and control downstream processes, boosting productivity by up to 20%.

BENEFITS

Maximise capacity usage

Book according to capacity and logistical requirements. Assign cold chain, assortment, product group, article, vehicle type, all with a click. Automatically calculate slot times based on pallets or storage positions. Handle complex appointments that require chemical resources like pumps, hoses, cleaning and optimise yard check-in processes. You can even call-off or reschedule approaches via pager, text message or display.

 

BENEFITS

Reduce costs & fees

Reduce wait times by up to 30% — some customers even achieved 40% — and lower detention and demurrage charges. Eliminate long line ups and make sure that areas outside of your property stay clear for other traffic.

BENEFITS

If you know, you know

If you don't have a yard management system, you don't have all the information. Transporeon's dock and yard solutions let you plan time slots with ease. Accurate ETAs from our solution means simplified planning, booking, and on-the-fly appointment rescheduling. Make your dock and yard activity predictable.

What our customers are saying

We were looking for a time slot management system for incoming goods at our warehouse locations and quickly realised that Transporeon is the absolute specialist in this area in Europe. In fact, shortly after the start of the project, we already reduced the waiting times of the trucks at our ramps considerably, smoothed out peak times and now warehouse capacities and staff are managed and used even more efficiently.

Peter Goer,
Project Manager,
Metro Logistics

We now have excellent waiting times, cleared in under 20 minutes, and we know very well what happens at our ramps.

Thomas Kerkenhoff,
Managing Director,
Edeka Handelsgesellschaft Rhein-Ruhr

For Denso, better management of outgoing flows has led to a 30-40% reduction in administrative workload, and there has been a drastic reduction in waiting times on the carrier's side, which could previously reach several hours. Today, however, the waiting time is only the time necessary for unloading.

Sonia Panza,
Head of Logistics,
Denso Thermal Systems

We decided to choose Transporeon for the speed and simplicity of implementation and integration into our Distribution Centers, because the platform is easy to use also by the carriers and the continuous and guaranteed assistance even after the launch phase of the project.

Enrico Frigo,
Operation Manager,
CPR System

Thanks to Time Slot Management, the warehouse knows well in advance what, how much and when goods should be loaded. This helps us to organize the warehouse more efficiently, speed up our processes, and make sure products and goods are prepared on time.

Iwona Kowala,
Transport Manager S.A., Amica

Like most large shippers, we found that relatively little went on in the mornings. In the afternoons we suddenly had up to 20 trucks per hour and there were considerable delays. With the platform, we were able to reduce truck waiting times substantially, because what is most important to us is punctual delivery and thus better customer service.

Dr. Ernst-Martin vom Bovert,
Head of Logistics,
Waelzholz

We chose Transporeon to optimise warehouse activities and achieve transparency and traceability in all communication processes with our carriers. 

Miriam Cavallo
Head of Central Logistics,
Verallia Italy

We now know in advance when each truck is going to arrive. That’s a huge advantage for us because it means we have clarity about when raw materials will be delivered and goods dispatched.

Volker Wollschläger,
Logistics Manager,
Smurfit Kappa

As our airline customers are increasing their volumes since 2012, time slot management came up as a ‘must’ to help us guarantee better time management and continuous improvement of our activities.

Valentin Wawzyniak,
Methods and Process Engineer,
LuxairCARGO

Thanks to automatic status updates, we have eliminated the margin of error and current KPI measurement is based only on reliable and aligned data.

Franco di Corcia,
Head of Logistics,
GDA Spa
