C3 Reservations
Dock Scheduling System
Overview
C3 Reservations is the dock appointment scheduling module of C3 Solutions' broader supply chain execution suite. It is a highly configurable, web-based system that automates the scheduling process for inbound and outbound shipments. The platform allows shippers and 3PLs to define specific business rules for each dock, and then empowers carriers and suppliers to book their own appointments 24/7 through a secure portal. This eliminates manual scheduling efforts, reduces congestion, and improves visibility and planning for warehouse operations.
