The Time Slot service by Logivity is a simple and powerful tool for managing inbound and outbound traffic at docks, warehouses, terminals, or depots. By providing a structured, digital scheduling and slot-booking system, it helps you prevent common disruptions like random truck arrivals, congestion, waiting times, and resource underutilization. 

Key benefits:

• Balanced, predictable workflows - deliveries and dispatches are evenly distributed throughout the day.
• Improved coordination - the same schedule used by carriers, warehouse teams, and transport planners means reduced number of last-minute surprises.
• Better planning - knowing what's coming enable smarter planning of staff, docks and equipment.
• Faster loading/unloading - smoother flows increase efficiency and throughput.
• Reduced congestion and waiting times -  fewer queues at gates and less idle time for carriers and drivers.
• Lower emissions and environmental impact - reduced idling cuts fuel use and emissions.

The overall results are smoother flows, fewer delays, and better efficiency for everyone involved. 

Integration with other Logivity Services & your Workflow

Time Slot can be used on its own as a lightweight scheduling tool, perfect when you need better dock and yard coordination. However - it becomes even more powerful when combined with other Logivity services:

• Combine with Loadboard when booking or assigning transports to align scheduling and transport orders.
• Use Control alongside Time Slot to get full operational transparency across all event data.
• If also Visibility is added, providing real-time tracking of incoming transports, you will know if arrivals will be on time and can dynamically adjust slots.
