An interactive app designed to make bay management quicker, easier and more accessible is launched this month. The application, known as SOLO.Dock, uses new technology and has been developed for use by carriers and their customers by transport management experts the 3T Group.

Available as a standalone solution or as part of a modular-based transport management system, SOLO.Dock is able to manage all outbound and inbound operations. The system enables carriers to book collection slots online on a first come, first served or pre-allocated basis. Customers are also able to see the whole schedule for deliveries and collection, enabling warehouse managers to allocate resources and labour to maximise efficiency and smooth out workload.

The 3T Group has already created several cutting edge products to automate transport processes and reduce cost within the logistics sector. A team of technology experts have drawn on their experience working in transport management across a range of industries to develop and refine the technology over the last 15 years.

3T's CEO Steve Twydell believes that the application could revolutionise the way that deliveries and collections are managed for a site.

"At 3T we aim to be the most technologically advanced logistics solutions company around. Our newest application SOLO.Dock provides a cost-effective standalone solution for any busy loading or receiving location. It also slots into our end to end transport system solution, offering clients a modular based development path for automation of the administration burden involved in day to day transport operations," he said. "Automation and visibility are key elements in driving logistics processes forward in the future. These new technologies will enable our customers to manage a whole range of processes more efficiently and cost effectively."

Using the module will enable organisations to reduce demurrage, save time on making phone calls and administrative processes, reduce congestion and ultimately improve loading, collection and delivery performance. The live chat feature facilitates interactive messaging and system settings can be varied to suit individual organisational requirements. The app also creates reports to facilitate KPI monitoring and planning.

SOLO.Dock is being rolled out to several companies in January. Access to the module is by subscription which is hosted through the SOLO. Event platform, a collection of modules that are symbiotically linked.
