WFS reduces truck waiting times in North America
Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the Sats Group, has begun rolling out a new dock management system in North America, which has already reduced truck waiting times at its operations in New York JFK by more than 20%.
The solution is another feature of WFS’ in-house developed Epic Enterprise Solution, which is now operational at 52 WFS airport stations in USA. Epic was designed ‘by cargo people for cargo people’ as a unifying e-business platform that enables collaboration and simplified communication within the cargo community stakeholders.
The new system will be implemented across WFS’ major airport locations in North America over the next twelve months. Trucking companies, consignees, and forwarders will be able to create their own slot booking for cargo drop-off or recovery at WFS stations, ensuring better optimisation of truck yards and alleviating congestion.
