The Problem

Carrier appointment coordination gets messy fast.

When appointments are coordinated through email threads, spreadsheets, phone calls, and disconnected calendars, carriers and internal teams lose visibility into what is requested, confirmed, missing, or no longer aligned with the actual shipment plan.

  • Carriers ask for appointment status through manual follow-up.
  • Teams lose track of pending appointment requests.
  • Pickup and delivery coverage is not always visible by shipment.
  • Dock capacity and carrier availability are not always coordinated.
  • Appointment changes do not always flow into shipment execution visibility.

How Fidelis Helps

Carrier appointment management connected to execution.

Fidelis gives teams a structured way to manage appointment requests, confirm scheduling details, identify missing coverage, and connect appointment activity to dock, yard, and shipment workflows.

Dock Capacity Awareness

Schedule appointments with better visibility to available dock windows, facility rules, and time-slot pressure.

Carrier Coordination

Execution Connection

Link appointment status to check-in, gate activity, dock progress, shipment status, and exception visibility.

From appointment request to completed dock activity.
