Why us?

Bring order to arrivals and time windows

Plan time slots and coordinate changes in one place. Reduce gate pressure and stop firefighting around missed windows. Assign doors to arrivals and keep dock usage clear across shifts.

Built for real carrier coordination

Coordinate with the carriers you already work with. You share your carrier list; we handle outreach, consents, and onboarding so you can start fast. Carriers use a unique online link – no extra app needed.

Fast to roll out (no heavy integration project)

Run a PoC in 3-10 days (based on number of carriers and consent speed). No integrations required. This is a private workspace with your carrier base only – not a public marketplace network. By day 10, one location can be live with time slots and carrier coordination.

Reduce dock chaos without heavy systems

If your warehouses operate on tight time windows, small delays can quickly escalate into major disruptions. 4Shipper is designed for teams that need practical dock and yard management across multi-site, multi-country operations.

Roles and permissions are configurable (RBAC), with access controlled at the entity level (locations, time slots, shipments, documents, users). Data is stored in EU-based cloud infrastructure in compliance with EU regulations (see Trust Center).

You can start from existing materials: our AI agent extracts cargo details and special requirements from emails, PDFs, documents, images, and copy-pasted text to reduce manual workload. All AI outputs are validated by operators to ensure reliability.

How can we help you?
  • Warehouse & gate teams – reduce queues and make arrivals more predictable
  • Logistics & transport planners – coordinate time slots with less back-and-forth

Industries Frequently Using Dock & Yard Management

Protect plant time windows and reduce gate escalations.

Packaging & Printing

Keep high-frequency inbound and outbound flowing through limited docks.

Chemicals & Agriculture

Coordinate constrained equipment and handling requirements with clearer arrivals.

E-commerce

Handle peaks with cleaner slot ownership and fewer last-minute changes.

Plan time slots with clear ownership

Create a predictable schedule for docks and yards with clearly defined ownership. Make it explicit who is responsible for each slot and what the expected arrival time is.

Configure dock rules based on load/unload duration, equipment requirements, blackout periods, operating hours, and public holidays.

  • Clear slot ownership and responsibilities
  • Better planning across shifts and teams

Coordinate arrivals with carriers in one place

Avoid coordinating arrivals through scattered calls and emails. Keep slot updates, changes, and notes in one structured workspace so everyone works with the same information.

  • Fewer calls at the gate and during planning
  • Clear communication when schedules change
  • Reduced context loss across teams

Keep shipment context attached to the slot

Time slots are most effective when they are directly linked to shipment details and documents. 4Shipper keeps the full operational context attached so teams can act quickly and accurately.

  • Shipment details and attachments always available
  • Faster handovers across shifts and teams
  • Reduced errors caused by missing information

  • Reduced waiting times and congestion at docks
  • More predictable throughput across operations

Improve performance across sites

Use arrival history and exception patterns to improve throughput across locations. Share and review data with warehouse and logistics stakeholders to drive continuous improvement.

Door assignment is included. Full yard management (gate check-in, yard inventory) can be supported via third-party integrations.

  • Visibility into peak patterns and bottlenecks
  • Better coordination across sites and teams
  • Reports and exports for ongoing improvement
  • Scheduled exports for stakeholders
