Retalix Dock Scheduilng

"We streamlined our in-bound scheduling process over a period of four months and already see a 40-50 percent improvement in our scheduling productivity. The system enabled our schedulers to receive and set an appointment in half the time required by the previous system. The web scheduling functionality greatly reduced the overall number of phone calls and manual entry. The solution also provides much greater visibility to our warehouse, receiving, and procurement teams."

With Retalix Dock Scheduling

Retalix Dock Scheduling (RDS) helps retailers and distributors who operate high-volume distribution centers, to automate and optimize the scheduling of dock appointments through a combination of a centralized application and a hosted Web-based service.

With Retalix Dock Scheduling, you take total control of the dock. RDS automates the entire dock management process seamlessly and easily - so you can realize dramatic improvements in efficiency.

The Retalix Dock Scheduling solution includes an online service, RetalixTraffic.com, which is used carriers and vendors to make their scheduling requests and receive their appointment confirmations.  The carrier simply logs into the service and types in the number of the purchase order he wishes to deliver. The optimal appointment time, dock and door are instantly calculated, and available appointments are automatically offered to the carrier. The appointment is scheduled and confirmed in less than two minutes, without any scheduling clerk involved!

Retalix Dock Scheduling is used in hundreds of distribution centers, with thousands of carriers scheduling appointments on line at RetalixTraffic.com. Among the users of RDS are C&S Wholesale Grocers, the second-largest grocery wholesaler in the U.S., Spartan Stores, the tenth-largest grocery distributor, and U.S. Foodservice, the second-largest food service distributor in the U.S.
