Not every truck may use every dock, and not every load may simply come in.
In chemicals and pharma, it has to be clear before arrival what is coming, which dock it may be unloaded at and whether the paperwork is in order. A surprise at the gate costs more than time here.
Request demo →Chemical and pharmaceutical warehouses handle dangerous goods, separate storage zones and strict documentation requirements. A carrier turning up at any random time does not fit that. SlotIQ lets you decide per dock whether a booking must first be approved by a planner, and gives the floor a fixed place to report missing paperwork or undeclared substances.
These problems cost time, money and employees every single day.
A truck carrying dangerous goods reports at the gate without the team knowing that load was coming. The right dock or storage zone is not free.
If transport documents or the certificate of analysis are missing, unloading is not allowed. The truck sits on site while someone chases the paperwork.
Some docks are meant for specific substances or temperature zones. If anyone can book anywhere, the wrong load ends up at the wrong dock.
For safety you want to know which trucks are on site, since when and with what load. Without registration at the gate, you cannot tell.
Receiving with extra checks takes longer than a standard unload. If that isn't planned for, the rest of the day runs late.
From manual and reactive to automated and predictable.
Built for the operational reality of Chemical & Pharma.
Per dock you choose whether bookings are confirmed automatically or reviewed by a planner first. For dangerous-goods docks, the planner assesses every request in advance.
Slot duration and capacity are set per dock. A dock with extensive receiving checks gets longer slots, so the schedule stays realistic.
The deviation list includes "Dangerous goods not correctly declared" and "Missing or incorrect paperwork (CMR)". With photo and note, directly on the booking.
The gate registers arrival and departure, the dock worker the status at the dock. The live screen shows which trucks are on site and where.
Store certificates and transport documents as attachments to the booking. Everything is ready when the truck arrives.
The questions we hear most from Chemical & Pharma.
Yes. You set up dangerous-goods docks separately with mandatory approval, so every request is reviewed in advance. On arrival the floor reports straight away if a substance is not correctly declared. Additional ADR fields on the booking are set up on request.
Per dock you decide whether bookings are confirmed automatically or reviewed by a planner first. A carrier can request any active dock; the planner approves or proposes another time.
Yes. SlotIQ records per delivery the actual arrival and departure time, deviations, documents and who registered what. That gives the traceability GDP asks of receiving.
