Description

Descartes Dock Appointment Scheduling™ offers a collaborative platform that facilitates the scheduling of dock door appointments for shippers, carriers, and consignees. This solution enhances the efficiency of the dock appointment process by shifting the scheduling duties from the warehouse to carriers and suppliers. By involving all partners in the supply chain and providing them with visibility into the status of requested, scheduled, and rescheduled dock appointments, it significantly improves the inbound receiving operations at a warehouse. Furthermore, by utilizing the capabilities of the Descartes Global Logistics Network™ (Descartes GLN™), this system empowers organizations to electronically connect with a vast network of shippers and carriers worldwide. As a result, companies can enhance communication and streamline their logistics operations on a global scale.

Description
