A slot you offer is a slot
you can actually serve.

Optimised Scheduling connects Time Slot Booking to Resource Planning. As each order is scheduled the system checks it against real fleet availability and pre-allocates it to a vehicle, so capacity stops being an estimate.

01Why it matters

Most broken promises
are made at booking.

In a standard set-up you estimate capacity per slot yourself and hope the estimate holds. For big and bulky it rarely does: large areas, low density, oversized items and service times that vary from twenty minutes to half a day. The failure shows up as a call to the customer two days later.

No capacity-driven rescheduling

Feasibility is assessed when the slot is booked, not discovered at the optimisation cutoff.

Less manual oversight

Capacity is configured once in Resource Planning rather than maintained again per slot.

Slots that fit the job

A task whose service time is longer than the slot itself can still be scheduled — a kitchen installation, several rooms of furniture.

Different service levels

Offer slots of varying length and price, short in dense zones and longer in far ones.

02Features

What it does.

Capacity from Resource Planning

One daily fleet configuration feeds both planning and what the recipient is offered. No second set-up to keep in step.

Pre-allocation at booking

When a slot is requested the system assesses feasibility and pre-allocates the task to an available vehicle.

Shared capacity across slots

Overlapping time slots draw on the same fleet instead of each holding a fixed reservation that may go unused.

Background optimisation

Periodic runs rebuild more efficient routes through the day, which frees capacity rather than just reporting it.

Skills and constraints

Matching on driver skills, start times, departure and arrival locations and vehicle reloads.

Capacity metrics

Slot metrics reflect planned capacity, with fill rates tracked per vehicle in Resource Planning.
