3 Coordination on the ramp EURO-LOG time slot management You can now achieve transparency across all loading points with the dynamic time slot management system from EURO-LOG. Inbound and outbound shipments are flexibly controlled by the integration of mobile devices so as to allow the reliable gathering of ETA data. Controlling loading bays Planning of resources Automatic reconciliation Coordination of shipping agents, hauliers, freight forwarders and warehouse operators can lead to a marked easing of pressure on the ramp. Using the time slot management solution from EURO-LOG you can dynamically control all loading bays and times for loading and unloading. By using ETA information, scheduling can be quickly and flexibly adapted to actual events. There is transparency over processes at all loading bays regardless of whether dealing with a full truck-load, LTL or piece goods and packages. Reduction of waiting times for loading and unloading Reduction of through-times Parking management The time slot management system from EURO-LOG can help to increase staff satisfaction. Managing loading bays based on real data allows optimised planning of resources required for loading and unloading. As time slots for HGVs are allocated in advance, there is a better spread of loadings and unloadings and an increase in optimum utilisation of capacity. By usind EURO-LOG time slot management congestion can be avoided. Flexible planning of resources Increased productivity for goods inwards and goods outwards operations Lower handling costs Since all parties have access to relevant data, they can all work together to schedule the loading bays. In this way, time slots for loading points can be defined individually spread over the day. Carriers either reserve the predetermined slots themselves and/or the slots are allocated by the shipper or recipient. There can be no overlaps since all parties have real-time access to the actual loading bay situation. This dynamic scheduling increases the satisfaction of all involved while also boosting capacity utilisation. Slots are booked by carrier or allocated by scheduler Controlled by priorities Clear traffic light system Extract from references

4 Mobile Devices Safe integration Reporting Loading points and times are scheduled based on mobile status messages received from truck drivers. The system automatically updates the status of the drivers so it can react dynamically to unplanned changes. If a truck arrives late for example, this is clearly shown on the display and the bays can be rescheduled. The on-going operating process receives high-grade support from the flexibility of the solution changes over time can be mapped in the system with different configurations.
