Dock (Appointment) Scheduling System
It helps solve the bottleneck for distribution centers
The loading dock area is often a serious bottleneck for distribution centers. With limited docks space, distribution centers have been suffering from unbalanced loads and unpredictable traffic congestion. Any delays and detention at docks would have a huge impact on the operational costs, supply chain efficiency and overall productivity.
Our Dock Scheduling system perfectly solved the lack of communication and visibility of dock traffic problem by setting up a web-based dock scheduling portal for automatic dock space appointment booking, confirmation and ad hoc management adjustments.
Now warehouse managers can better deal with resource planning and labor management with
proper scheduling and constant monitoring and updating.
