Time slot management
Time slot management QTir allows you to efficiently plan loading and unloading at your site. You will get an accurate schedule of when each shipment is due to be cleared, allowing you to spread the load over time and avoid unexpected shipment arrivals and peak clearance times. As a result, you can better optimize the resources needed for handling and also reduce the waiting time of individual vehicles for loading or unloading.
This is not a box solution.The complete operation is analyzed before the system is deployed in your company. The system is then adjusted according to your needs and expectations.
QTIR is integrated with SAP, ABRA, NAVISION and other systems. Thanks to this information, we get the shipment data into our system without the need to manually enter it again.
The system records all relevant data throughout the check-in process, from time stamps to various checklists.These serve as a basis for process optimization.
booking portal for carriers
In terms of scheduling, the QTir app allows you to create so-called time windows, which you can then access via the booking portal for registered carriers. Shippers' dispatchers then access this booking portal and book time windows for loading or unloading individual shipments.
The booking portal allows you to enter all the important information for the shipment, such as the shipment number, order number, vehicle registration number, driver contact... These details are then pre-populated by the driver during registration, where they only need to be checked or modified if necessary. It is also possible to enter various documents for the transport, for example CRM, delivery notes, weighing tickets...
Within this portal, the dispatcher can also monitor the status of the clearance of transport in your area, so he has up-to-date information whether the transport is being cleared or is already completed. Just as the carrier can provide you with some documents, you can also provide the carrier with access to CRM, delivery notes, weigh tickets, inspection reports, etc.
Scheduling in QTir
Specific transports can also be scheduled directly in the QTir app by your dispatcher. Even in this case, all important information such as the transport number, order number, vehicle registration number, etc. is entered for the transports.
Scheduling of transports is possible in several levels of accuracy, the three most commonly used methods are: scheduling for a specific day without time limitation. Scheduling for a time window without selecting a pick-up point. Scheduling for a specific check-in time window.
In QTir, you can create a comprehensive shipping plan for each day, based on which you can plan further logistics tasks, such as picking goods, etc.
Last but not least, you can also get an overview of the booked shipments from the booking portal for carriers and edit them if necessary.
Integration with third-party systems
Time slot management can also be linked to 3rd party systems, this is usually done when shipping plans are created for example from orders directly in IS such as SAP, Abra, MS Dynamics. The data exchanges in such interfaces occur online, thus ensuring the presence of always up-to-date data in all systems.
