Cut Warehouse Dock Waits by 40%
BySix’s Slot Booking platform cuts dock wait times by 40% using AI-driven scheduling, real-time slot booking, and automated warehouse coordination.
The Slot Booking platform is a core Transporeon solution - designed, engineered, and continuously evolved by BySix’s Software Development & AI team - and trusted by some of the world’s largest logistics players.
What is Slot Booking?
Slot Booking gives shippers, carriers, and warehouses a single, real-time window into the when and where of every truck movement. Key capabilities include:
Dynamic dock calendars - weekly schedules tailored to each facility and gate.
Self-service slot booking - carriers reserve or swap loading/off-loading windows in seconds.
Automated slot assignment - the system cross-checks capacity, vehicle type, and real-time ETA to propose the best available time.
AI-powered auto-booking - when a truck’s arrival is detected, the platform can generate and confirm a slot without human intervention, minimising yard congestion.
Why is Slot Booking important?
For carriers and drivers - faster turnarounds, fewer queues, and a predictable dock time reduce fuel burn and detention fees.
For warehouse managers - drag-and-drop dock calendars, instant rescheduling, and utilisation analytics keep operations running at peak efficiency.
For the entire network - BySix’s AI modules learn from historical flow data, suggesting schedule tweaks that cut idle time and improve on-time delivery metrics across the board.
By merging robust software engineering with intelligent automation, Slot Booking transforms static dock schedules into a living, self-optimising system - saving Transporeon’s customers hours at the gate and millions in annual logistics costs.
