Brucargo is already testing his booking app for freight delivery or pick-up ‘Slot Booking App’ -After a year of intense brainstorms, developments and live-testings, the Slot Booking App finally goes live in BRUcargo.
From the 15th of January on, the application will be used for all time slots needed for freight delivery or pick-up by our Slot Booking App pioneers. This will eliminate the waiting times at the facilities of the Ground Handlers for the involved Forwarders.
Brussels Airport has reached the next stage of digitisation with the cloud based data sharing platform, Nallian releasing its Slot Booking Application to the community.
Digital roadmap
The Slot Booking Application will eliminate problems of waiting times and idle times at ground handling facilities by coordinating the match between supply and demand of time slots by streamlining the pick-up and delivery of freight at ground handlers and leads to a better capacity utilisation and elimination of peak and idle-times.
The app makes it possible for the booker to request a single or recurrent time slot at a specific facility via the same central web-application for all ground handlers, while the supplier can make time slots for different cargo types available via the web-application or a system-to-system link with its internal slot management system.
This application is a first step in the digital roadmap of BRUcargo.
Three more on boarding moments are planned within 2018. We will keep you updated!
