Docks that go according to plan

At many plants, lorries still arrive unannounced – the yard becomes congested at peak times and stands empty at other times. With ELOGATE, your service providers can book fixed loading slots digitally, integrated with the warehouse and ERP systems. This spreads arrivals throughout the day, the warehouse is informed in advance, and waiting times, demurrage charges and constant coordination are reduced.
