Problem
Industrial facilities often face challenges in managing inbound logistics, leading to inefficiencies in material flow, delays, and increased operational costs within warehouses, plants, and terminals. Manual scheduling processes, lack of real-time visibility, and poor coordination between shippers, carriers, and customers contribute to these issues.
Solution
Velostics offers an AI-enabled, unified scheduling suite that automates and optimizes inbound logistics management for industrial facilities. The platform provides end-to-end scheduling orchestration for shipping and receiving, connecting shippers, suppliers, carriers, and customers on a single platform. By integrating with existing Transportation Management Systems (TMS), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, Velostics streamlines appointment booking, gate check-in, dock scheduling, and yard movements. The system leverages AI agents to manage trailer inventory, schedule pickups from offsite yards, and optimize trailer parking assignments, reducing dwell time and improving overall yard efficiency.
