Loading and yard

Slot booking

Assigning fixed delivery times to carriers.

Digital slot booking spreads deliveries across the day, shortens waiting times and reduces parking needs. For the property this means a well-organised operation needs less yard space.

How it works

With a slot booking system, hauliers book deliveries through a portal. The warehouse plans staff, doors and space according to the booked slots. Waiting times in the yard fall and peaks are smoothed.

Good slot management can relieve a tight yard but does not replace missing doors or parking. Space planning should be based on real delivery profiles, including delays.
