Platform / Appointment Management

Automated Appointment Manager for Supply Chain Planning and Scheduling

Take the guesswork out of your scheduling with a single, easy-to-use scheduling platform for facilities, shippers and carriers.

Let’s Get Started

“We are scheduling approximately 1200 appointments per month in Appointment Manager, resulting in 300 fewer emails per day and 480 minutes of saved time daily (8 minutes per appointment). In addition to the email and time savings, on-time delivery on live unload shipments has improved by 10% due to the ability to secure the live load pick up in a timely manner.”

– Tony Poole, Senior Transportation Manager at Kimberly-Clark
