Truck Visit Management

Maximize capacity, get 100% visibility

With Nallian's Truck Visit Management you coordinate freight pick ups and drop offs in a streamlined way - from driver registration at the digital front desk to slot management to sharing freight details. So you increase throughput at the dock door, eliminate waiting times and make optimal use of resources.

A digital, streamlined approach to cargo pick ups and drop offs

Say goodbye to an inefficient, paperbased process that involves a lot of admin, emails and phone calls. Instead, coordinate and communicate with freight forwarders and trucking companies online and in real-time. From the (self)registration of truck drivers to the exchange of shipment details to the management and booking of dock door capacity. 

Your Benefits

Increase handling capacity

Reduce driver wait times

Optimize resource planning

Speed up registration and check-out

Eliminate paperwork and related admin

Streamlining the entire pick up and drop off process

Digital Front Desk

Know who is picking up / dropping off

With this fast and easy (self-)registration module, every visit is registered by the driver at the Digital Front Desk upon arrival. Visits can also be pre-announced by the forwarder or trucking company via the online app. Optionally, the driver can manually add shipment details when registering. 

Your Benefits

  • Free up front desk staff
  • Speed up the registration process for the driver
  • Get 100 visibility on all pick ups & drop offs

Slot management

Steer & know who is picking up / dropping off what and when

Channel activity as you manage dock door capacity according to a wide range of parameters (such as location, cargo type, vehicle type, import/export, ULD/BUP, etc). Trucking Companies and Freight Forwarders book time slots via an intuitive booking form to enjoy priority treatment and eliminate waiting times.

Your benefits

  • Eliminate waiting times
  • Flatten peaks, avoid idle times
  • Plan and prepare resources in view of actual activity
  • Handle more goods with the same amount of dock doors

Sharing Shipment Data

Know who is picking up / dropping off what

Your benefits

  • Avoid hassle with paperwork and reduce manual mails/calls
  • Speed up the registration and check-out process
  • Have visibility on all incoming and outgoing freight
  • (Un)load faster as you can proactively prepare goods and equipment (when combined with Slot Booking)

"Prior to using Nallian's Slot Booking , the handling of a truck would take on average 3 hours. Today this is done in only 2 hours."
