Until now, the absence of a common standard for structuring and utilising relevant data has led to various challenges in timeslot management, including system incompatibility, low adoption rates, and operational inefficiencies. Many companies struggle with integration issues, as different logistics platforms and carriers utilise incompatible scheduling systems, resulting in miscommunication and delays. Each system has its own definition of time slots, rules for planning, and ways to communicate with drivers and external transport management systems (TMS). This can result in limited or difficult exchange of information regarding, e.g., dedicated time slots, between the parties involved.
The time for the project meeting will be announced soon.

One of our most important products relates to time slot management. There is definitely a market, but it also brings with it the problems described.
