Read the source ↓What the company did
Qued reports Stevens Transport using Smart Appointments for website and email scheduling. Its machine learning selects slots using ETAs, facility capacity, historical performance and location requirements.
How it went
The October 16 report says thousands are booked weekly. Stevens reports no drivers calling about incorrect pickup or delivery numbers, but supplies no measured error rate or time saving. Phone scheduling remains planned.
Worth knowing
- The rollout expanded shipper by shipper after checks that appointments had the correct dates and times.
- Practical takeaway: Check facility references, dates, time zones and pickup or delivery numbers against the load record. Keep unresolved slots and missing confirmations visible before dispatching a refrigerated load.
