Supply chain software company Hardis Supply Chain has announced the launch of its Appointment Scheduling service, providing a software-as-a-service (SaaS) it says can digitize and streamline carrier appointment bookings at logistics facilities.

The solution is part of the Hardis SC Network platform, and can be deployed as a standalone application or integrated with Hardis’ warehouse management system. It replaces manual, email and spreadsheet-based scheduling with a shared, real-time portal that allows carriers to book, modify, or cancel dock appointments around the clock based on configurable business rules and site availability.

“Appointment Scheduling was designed to remove one of the most persistent sources of friction in logistics operations,” said Hardis general manager Florent Boizard. “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 through a flexible SaaS subscription based on the number of configured sites a client has, and comes with a scalable "pay as you grow" option.
