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

Descartes Yard Management integrates sophisticated reservation and yard control within a cohesive transportation execution system, working in harmony with Descartes Transportation Management solutions. The Dock Appointment Scheduling module facilitates collaborative booking for shippers, carriers, and consignees, allowing them to reserve dock doors efficiently and automatically allocates inbound and outbound loads to available doors based on the acceptance of tenders, while also implementing staging rules to enhance trailer movements. The Yard Management feature offers real-time oversight and management of trailer and inventory operations, allowing operators to track trailer locations, oversee staging areas, and automate processes that minimize idle time. This comprehensive combination of solutions not only reduces delays and boosts resource allocation and throughput but also strengthens compliance by enforcing appointment windows and door regulations, ultimately leading to a decrease in demurrage costs. By streamlining these operations, businesses can achieve greater efficiency and responsiveness in their transportation logistics.
