Time slot management systemè

The purpose of a time slot management system is to reduce or eliminate waiting times at the loading or unloading point. In this way, for example, a shipment or a driver who has to unload at a supermarket, to make it, must book an appointment through the portal. Within the portal you will be able to view which appointments are still available at the unloading point (for example, from 2pm to 3pm). Obviously, the driver must arrive on time to the appointed appointment, so that he can unload immediately. However, short waiting times can be recorded. If the driver has not used the time slot assigned to him, for example due to a queue or a technical problem, it will be necessary to book a new appointment. More or less, as happens in air traffic. The airlines have so-called “time-slots”, within which a flight must be made. Otherwise, the time window expires and costly penalties may result.
