Hardis Supply Chain Launches Appointment Scheduling to Fully Digitize Carrier Slot Booking

Hardis Supply Chain Launches Appointment
Scheduling to Fully Digitize Carrier Slot Booking
New cloud-native solution empowers carriers with self-service scheduling while
increasing dock productivity and collaboration across the supply chain
New York – February 9, 2026 – Hardis Supply Chain, a global leader in supply chain
software and technology solutions, today announced the launch of Appointment
Scheduling, a new cloud-native SaaS solution designed to fully digitize and streamline
carrier appointment booking at logistics sites. The newly available solution is part of the
Hardis SC Network platform and can be deployed as a standalone application or
seamlessly integrated with Hardis WMS.
As logistics networks grow more complex, many organizations still rely on emails,
phone calls, and spreadsheets to coordinate dock appointments, creating inefficiencies,
congestion, and lost productivity. Appointment Scheduling eliminates these challenges
by providing a collaborative, multi-role portal where carriers can independently book,
modify, or cancel appointments 24/7, based on configurable business rules and
real-time site availability. Dedicated interfaces support shippers, warehouses, carriers,
operations and logistics teams, and administrators, ensuring a shared, real-time view of
all inbound and outbound flows.
The solution offers real-time slot visibility, capacity management by zone, configurable
appointment durations, document sharing, claim management, and performance KPIs,
all within a single platform. Carriers benefit from a unified account that allows them to
manage appointments across multiple authorized sites and organizations, while logistics
teams gain full transparency and control over dock activity. Native bi-directional
connectivity with Hardis WMS automatically synchronizes appointments and status
updates, eliminating process breaks from scheduling through dock execution. Open
REST APIs also enable integration with third-party WMS, TMS, YMS, ERP, and BI
systems.
Appointment Scheduling delivers immediate and measurable operational impact,
enabling organizations to increase dock throughput by 30 percent without adding
infrastructure, reduce detention costs, and recover several hours of administrative time
each week. Rapid deployment, typically completed within hours or days, accelerates
time to value while minimizing risk. Built as a true multi-tenant, cloud-native SaaS
solution, Appointment Scheduling ensures scalability, high availability, and regulatory
compliance.
“Appointment Scheduling was designed to remove one of the most persistent sources of
friction in logistics operations,” said Florent Boizard, General Manager at Hardis Supply
Chain. “By fully digitizing carrier appointments and integrating natively with our WMS
and the broader Hardis SC Network platform, we help customers improve productivity,
keep delivery promises, and strengthen collaboration across the supply chain.”
Appointment Scheduling is available via a flexible SaaS subscription model based on
the number of configured sites, with a scalable “pay as you grow” approach.
