Appointment Automation + ETA Rescheduling

What we deliver

The Problem (Before)

Appointments booked on planned times. When shipments delay, nobody reschedules until the carrier is at the gate.

Who feels this:

Warehouse & Logistics Manager, Transportation Manager, Facility Manager, Dock Supervisor, Dispatcher

The Outcome (After)

At-risk appointments caught and rescheduled before carriers arrive at the wrong time.

What makes this different:

Appointments are booked on planned times and never updated until the carrier arrives at the wrong time. Alan catches at-risk appointments and reschedules proactively as ETAs shift.

How it works

The building blocks behind this outcome.
What Happens

Alan monitors ETA changes against booked appointment windows, identifies at-risk appointments, auto-reschedules to the next available slot, resolves capacity conflicts, and notifies all stakeholders.

The Intelligence Behind It
  • ETA accuracy confidence by carrier/lane
  • Historical compliance rates by facility
  • Optimal rescheduling windows

This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years. No single company's data could produce it.

Why This Cannot Be Replicated

Appointments are booked on planned times and never updated until the carrier arrives at the wrong time. Alan catches at-risk appointments and reschedules proactively as ETAs shift. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company facility and yard intelligence is what cannot be replicated with software alone.

Appointment Automation

Appointment Automation + ETA Rescheduling represents a unified outcome within broader end-to-end appointment management. When deployed together, appointments are autonomously scheduled, rescheduled, and confirmed in real time based on live ETAs. Alan coordinates directly with facilities, Tracy monitors inbound shipments, and the Facility Twin dynamically manages dock availability—delivering fully automated dock-door execution.
