Automatic Open Booking

When Transport Assignment module is used in combination with Time Slot Management, Transporeon offers an automatic creation of “open bookings”. Open bookings are visible to the assigned carrier. Carriers are reminded this way to book a time slot and can select an available slot within the calculated time frame.

The functionality is optional and when in use, open bookings are created for the loading station automatically as soon a transport is assigned. If the transport contains deliveries with different station addresses or gates (ramp), several bookings will be created. Note, it is also possible to set up automatic creation of open bookings for unloading stations instead of loading ones or for both types of stations.

If the customer chooses to use the functionality, station address and ramps should be mapped to the locations and gates as an additional configuration in advance. Please, get in touch with Transporeon project team.
