Velostics, a pioneer in logistics scheduling, proudly announces the launch of its groundbreaking 3-Way scheduling solution. Designed specifically for shippers, this innovative solution improves their cash cycle.
The 3-Way Scheduling Solution is engineered to seamlessly orchestrate scheduling operations, enabling shippers to synchronize inbound shipments with suppliers and carriers on one side, while simultaneously coordinating outbound shipments to consignees and carriers on a single platform. In addition, this solution reduces holding costs for customer managed freight by orchestrating customer pickup. This approach ensures that all parties involved are aligned for better collaboration, improving supply chain communication and enabling quicker response to exceptions and issues.
A New Era of Logistics Excellence
“The industry has an ailing problem of manual scheduling. Legacy TMS/WMS systems offer basic scheduling solutions, newer entrants offer functionality limited to dock scheduling. As a result, the gap is being filled by manual emails or calls to consignees for appointments. Velostics is excited to introduce our innovative 3-Way Scheduling Solution, which will automatically generate scheduling pages for all suppliers and consignees for our customers,” said Gaurav Khandelwal, CEO of Velostics. “As simple as Calendly, this solution takes the hassle out of emailing/calling consignees for delivery times, then coordinating with your brokers/carriers. By streamlining scheduling and improving the cash cycle, we are reducing shipment costs and delivering tremendous value to the CFO.”
