Client
Under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
Business challenges

Our solutions
- Role-based authorization system
- Calendar view for all bookings and available slots
- Booking management tools
- User and permission management
Project implementation
We developed a system with three user roles: carrier, warehouse manager, and administrator. The system featured a dock calendar that displayed operating restrictions, such as opening/closing times, accepted goods, and trailer types.
Each role had its own dedicated management interface. Administrators were responsible for managing users and their permissions, warehouse managers could access the full warehouse schedule, manage dock doors, register shipments, and handle slot reservations, while carriers could view the dock calendar and reserve unloading slots.
Additionally, carriers received estimated unloading times based on shipment data, with an algorithm calculating the unloading and paperwork time, ultimately providing an estimated time for booking.
