LEA Reply™ Dock Scheduling is a collaborative tool which streamlines dock management processes by allowing suppliers and transporters to book loading and unloading appointments at warehouse docks through an easy-to-use, cloud-based portal available 24/7. The solution enables you to improve dock productivity by distributing appointments smoothly across available timeslots, reduce workload peaks and ensure the strategic allocation of resources.

LEA Reply™ Dock Scheduling is designed to help improve efficiency and visibility, bringing together carriers and suppliers of products and raw materials on one platform, that handles loading bay scheduling and manages the flow of access and exit of vehicles from large logistics and production centres.

The cloud solution makes it possible to quickly organize complex scheduling needs when managing tens to hundreds of suppliers, carriers and delivery points. The multi-device usability of the platform (PC, tablet, smartphone support) makes it simple and easy to adopt. Moreover, it can easily be integrated with Transportation and Yard Management Systems which enables the convergence of logistics processes and provides further control over arrivals at docking bays.

The system can measure the actual performance of logistics centers, carriers and suppliers and monitor actual arrival times in comparison with expected times, creating useful KPI charts, alerts and indicators to enhance the usability and productivity of the solution, resulting in significant benefits in terms of the efficiency and visibility of the restocking process.

• Configuration of delivery centers with data on loading bays and corresponding access gates

• Management of customizable work calendars for centres and loading bays
