BENEFITS

Improve yard turnaround time

The lack of an overview about arrival or loading/unloading times lead to endless delays in yard processes and long wait times. Same goes for drivers entering the yard with paper documents that must be scanned and digitised. Dock & Yard Management Hub enables warehouse managers 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 ie., cold chain, assortment, product group, article, vehicle type. Automatically calculate slot length times  based on pallets or storage positions. Handle complex appointments that require chemical resources like pumps, hoses, cleaning and optimise yard check-in processes or call-off approaches via pager, text message or display.

 

BENEFITS

Reduce costs & fees

Automated, real-time driven and collaborative solutions generate savings in process costs, overtime and overstaffing. Reduce wait times by up to 30 to 40% and lower detention and demurrage charges. Eliminate queues and prevent blocking of areas outside your premises.

BENEFITS

Know what's arriving next

Due to a lack of information, loading/unloading resources cannot be planned in advance and can only be dispatched at short notice. Transporeon provides the planning and booking of appointments via time slots. That makes arrivals of trucks predictable and by accurate ETAs of those trucks, we provide key insights for warehouse managers and supervisors to be more pro-active.

 

CASE STUDY

Knauf Group achieves measurable results with Time Slot Management

Knauf Group successfully reduced demurrage costs, optimised truck arrivals during peak times, and decreased waiting times for call-offs since implementing Time Slot Management to manage their 1,000 outbound shipments per day. With more flexibility to manage schedule changes, staff and carrier dynamics have significantly improved, too.

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,
