Case Study: VIL achieves faster, smarter slot booking optimization with Solvice

VIL Slot booking optimization in warehousing

VIL partnered with Solvice to improve slot booking optimization in warehousing, where loading and unloading appointments were often disrupted by unpredictable delays, disconnected systems, and static planning processes. These issues created long waiting times, extra work for warehouse staff, and lost time for transporters and carriers.

Solvice used its optimization technology to build a proof of concept that pulled in real-time GPS data to calculate ETAs and dynamically adjust inbound and outbound slots throughout the day. The solution enabled slot swaps and shifts based on actual conditions, drastically reduced planning time for carriers, and helped cut waiting times while improving reliability, safety, and stress levels for drivers and logistics staff.
