Dock Appointment Scheduling: Carrier Software
Many organizations with a distribution center (DC) or warehouse have taken the time to deploy processes and solutions that improve resource utilization, reduce the volume of paperwork and create efficiencies within their facilities. However, many have not considered how to plan more effectively their inbound shipments.
Descartes Dock Appointment Scheduling™ is a collaborative transportation management software and carrier software that enables shippers, carriers and consignees to schedule dock door appointments. It streamlines the dock appointment process by distributing the responsibility for scheduling across the warehouse, carriers and suppliers. By ensuring all supply chain partners are involved in the process and have visibility into requested, scheduled and rescheduled dock appointments, this solution optimizes receiving operations for inbound shipments to a DC or warehouse.
