VISIBILITY NOW! 2020
Europe’s premier supply chain and transportation visibility digital event
Smart Booking is the culmination of years of working with the transport industry and the latest technology.
Working hand in hand with industry experts, shippers and carriers, we’ve created a time slot management solution that means you can quickly and easily book the perfect slot. We’ve built in features including real-time warehouse visibility, API driven infrastructure that can predict how long a time slot should be based on the product type and much more.
Smart Booking was developed to serve its users – both shippers and carriers. Every design choice was made to make the slot booking process as easy as possible. At the same time, the solution is fully customizable, has industry specific features and can be used as a stand-alone tool or part of an end-to-end TMS. Alpega's, formerly Transwide’s slot booking solution is used by some of the globe’s most successful companies to schedule their transportation.
With Transwide, we have found a partner with particular expertise in time slot and carrier management. I can confirm that we realized a considerable efficiency boost (…) and exceptional cost benefits.

Time slot booking is a sometimes overlooked but pivotal link in the transportation chain. It represents a vital touchpoint for warehouses, carriers and shippers. So much hinges on the unloading and loading process and businesses which optimise their time slots gain a huge competitive advantage. In terms of sheer cost, avoiding congestion and not having trucks waiting around is a real cost saver, especially as drivers are becoming an increasingly scarce resource. Not to mention the time and money that can be saved by automating the process. That’s why we developed our Smart Booking system.
Alpega’s time slot management software makes use of the latest technology for real time visibility and status updates. For example, making the slot schedule visible to all carriers in real-time allows them to manage slot booking, amendments and cancellations without ambiguity.
Downtime on a warehouse loading bay is expensive and no one wants to have drivers waiting around for a time slot to load or unload their products. Factor in the time sensitivity around certain deliveries, such as temperature-sensitive goods, and it becomes apparent just how vital warehouse slot planning is.
Each of our solutions is cloud-based. This means there are no long, costly implementation cycles and we are able to seamlessly update our product line. Our solutions can be easily integrated into any IT environment and we fully support agile product implementations.
We also provide a dedicated customer success team for implementation, configuration and support.
