Book a time slot. Load and unload on time. Get back on the road in a flash.
Inefficiencies at the dock can cause long lines of trucks outside shipping facilities, delayed deliveries and increased driver wait times—plus the added cost of steep detention fees. Transporeon Dock Scheduling shows your loading and unloading capacity in a digital schedule, and gives both you and your carriers visibility into the time slots. Carriers use the online system to self-schedule convenient delivery or pickup appointments. Vehicle arrival times are automatically adapted to available resources, such as personnel, forklifts or other equipment. Transporeon Dock Scheduling optimizes internal processes, increases handling capacity and reduces delays as well as loading and unloading times.
Increase handling capacity by up to 20%
Optimized processes save time and free up resources to load and unload additional vehicles.
Reduce driver wait times by up to 40%
Trucks arrive at the dock at the scheduled time, preventing traffic congestion at the site.
Decrease loading times by up to 60 minutes
Loading / unloading slots can be fine-tuned to speed up processes and handling times, even with complex loading logic and material dependencies.
Optimal use of resources
Steady, planned distribution of inbound vehicles so that resources and loads can be made ready at the right time.
Comprehensive transparency and control
Clear overview and documentation of critical processes, carrier quality levels and optimization potential for more complete shipment visibility.
Improved planning and optimization
Automated communication and availability of real-time data integrated in to your existing TMS, YMS or WMS.
Lower logistics costs
Loading times can be optimized and detention fees can be virtually eliminated.
Give back to the market
Saves up to 5 driver hours per truck per day in wait times, effectively keeping drivers on the road and helping to alleviate capacity issues.
Digital resource management
Docks and unloading resources are digitally mapped, then assigned and managed through the system.
Centralized status information
The status of each truck can be viewed and updated by all departments in real time.
Continuous documentation
Documentation of registrations, safety instructions and status changes are audit-proof.
Dynamic time slot lengths
The system determines the required loading time based on your transportation data and resources. Alternate time-slot length availability and booking is also possible.
Complete transport data
All information is available centrally, including vehicle and driver information, or health and safety lists.
Automatic evaluations
Prepare standard reports and evaluate KPIs at the press of a button—for example, to see if deadlines were met and determine truck waiting or processing times.
Peak loads and idle times
Uneven distribution of incoming vehicles throughout the day means congestion and idle times.
Limited planning capability
No visibility into vehicle arrival times. Loading and unloading resources cannot be planned in advance, and transport goods must be prepared on short notice.
Congestion and detention charges
Uncoordinated arrivals result in vehicle congestion at the site. Long waiting times result in surcharges and increased transportation costs.
Time-consuming and complex organization
Booking time slots by telephone, fax and email is time-consuming. Administration in Excel tables is cumbersome. Misunderstandings arise due to language barriers and important information gets lost.
Lack of transparency and documentation
Documentation of loading and unloading processes is incomplete, resulting in a lack of evidence if accidents occur. Incomplete data prevents valid reporting.
Safety-critical processes
Missing information, reliance on verbal and written communication, and time pressure all combine to increase accident risks.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
Helping shippers achieve time and cost savings.
Since we’ve introduced Transporeon, some benefits have started to show. It definitely helps our teams in each shipping facility better plan. It’s very visual, very easy to see, whereas with our established SAP ERP system it’s just columns and rows and it’s hard to fully get an idea of what you’re dealing with on a daily basis.”
