DCT ensures flow in logistics. Congestion, unpredictability, stagnation and risks are reduced and safety is promoted.
Book time slots efficiently
Plan more efficiently with smart time slot bookings. Link slots directly to purchase orders and use the calendar to optimally organise loading and unloading times. Less waiting time, less congestion, maximum logistics flow.
Configure warehouse
Create or duplicate a warehouse in seconds. Easily set capacities, gates and opening hours, or apply temporary adjustments for peak periods, such as public holidays.
We are constantly adding new features based on user requests and feedback. Everything for a smooth go.
Real-time booking overview
Every step in the loading and unloading process is tracked and logged. Track the status of your shipments in real time and maintain complete control over your goods flows.
Dynamic time slots
DCT adjusts time slot lengths based on pallet volume and type of goods. Choose fixed or dynamic slots so that every shipment fits perfectly into your schedule. Flexibility without disrupting the flow.
In our customers’ words
The flexibility of the system is especially appreciated. Adjusting time slots, the number of gates, and moving or copying bookings is considered very convenient.
Life before DCT was very different – we were constantly solving problems, be it congestion issues or staff planning issues. This application has solved complex issues as well as day-to-day issues. Because of DCT, it is possible to work so much more efficiently than before.
Our team values the speed and user friendliness with which DCT enables us to create timeslots. We save so much time when we are collaborating with other customers and warehouses across different continents.
DCT is a very user-friendly timeslot management system that is used by all our warehouses. It is perceived as very positive that customization is not necessary because the system already meets all our requirements. The consultants are readily available if we have any questions about DCT, where they always respond with a suitable solution at very short notice.
Not only does the DCT application work great; the people at DCT are always ready to help you.
Reserving time slots for transporters
Assign time slots to specific carriers in advance and apply recurring patterns. This prevents overload and ensures that logistics processes remain smooth and predictable. This way, your supply chain flows without obstacles.
Performance monitoring
Logistics performance is automatically monitored and made transparent in real time via dashboards. This creates a continuous feedback loop for improvement. No separate Excel sheets or reports afterwards; just direct data, always available. For transporters and shippers alike. Because better flow starts with a better overview.
News
Inform carriers about important updates such as administrative procedures, roadworks or yard-specific announcements. Clear communication, fewer surprises, smooth operations.
Settings
Always adapt DCT smoothly to your working method. Configure statuses, colours and interface preferences for an intuitive workflow. You can even personalise the login page for a uniform look.
Authorisation management
Manage users and roles within your warehouse community. Assign permissions by location or role and send automatic invitations to carriers for seamless integration.
Customised booking fields
Customised booking fields allow you to record exactly the information that is important to your organisation, from internal reference numbers to customer instructions or specific transport details. Fully integrated into time slot management and included as standard in every subscription. This ensures that every booking fits seamlessly with your processes and your customer's wishes.
Self-service check-in
The self-service terminal automates the registration of drivers upon arrival. Transporters can independently complete the entire check-in process in approximately three minutes via a user-friendly kiosk, including scanning documents and accepting safety rules. This reduces waiting times, minimises errors and ensures safe and controlled access to your premises. By using self-service kiosks, you save on labour costs at the desk and prevent congestion at reception. Transporters no longer have to queue and experience a fast, smooth reception. Connect the terminal to your existing YMS or let DCT directly control the barrier, weighbridge and access gates. Efficient, safe and fully automated, in other words: flow.
Yard access control
DCT manages the flow across the entire yard. A safe and well-organised movement of people and vehicles by adding yard access control as an alternative option to time slot management. This keeps the yard safe and drivers informed. Clear communication ensures double logistics. The very reason DCT exists.

The ideal platform
for collaboration in logistics
At its core, DCT is a collaboration platform. We enable transporters to book time slots independently, optimise yard access and facilitate trade. In doing so, we bring logic to logistics. For smooth goods flows at the moments when logistics really matter.
DCT brings structure to your scheduling: carriers reserve their own arrival and departure slots. This reduces peak loads and waiting times, lightens manual admin and keeps planning clear. With real-time dashboards and AI forecasting, you can anticipate issues before they occur and stay in full control. Less congestion, more control and optimal logistics flow.
With DCT, your yard stays both safe and efficient. Self-service kiosks, barriers and weighbridge integrations ensure that people and vehicles enter the site in an orderly way and at the right time. Drivers self-check in and receive real-time updates, while your planners and security always have full visibility. Yard access control connects seamlessly with time slot management so your entire flow – from planning to access – is perfectly synchronized.
Find the perfect match for your load or available capacity instantly. Manually searching for carriers wastes time and creates empty miles. Cargo Connect matches freight and capacity in real time with over 40000 carriers and 400+ warehouses across 30+ countries. Post loads or find capacity without intermediaries, cut costs and avoid empty trips. DCT connects shippers and carriers efficiently – and sustainably.
Connect DCT through an open REST API with your WMS, TMS, ERP and yard hardware such as barriers and weighbridges. Our API supports JSON and XML, synchronizing data in real time so duplicate entry and manual errors disappear. Automate processes, create a single source of truth and scale your supply chain safely and flexibly as you grow.
Integrate
and connect
DCT can provide flow by being a hyperspecialist and operating fluently between heavy systems and large providers. DCT is easy to configure and simple to use. We integrate seamlessly with existing systems and link where necessary.
