Hacobu's Truck Reservation Service "MOVOBerth" Now Offers Reservation Template Feature

Hacobu Co., Ltd., which solves logistics challenges with the power of data, has added a "Reservation Template Feature" to its truck reservation acceptance service "MOVO Berth" (MooVo Berth), allowing users to save frequently used reservation details and recall them for subsequent reservation creation. Reservations can be completed faster and more accurately by simply entering only the necessary changes such as dates and quantities. This reduces the burden of reservation tasks and expands the utilization of truck reservations on site.

Background of Development: Expanding Truck Reservations to Reduce Driver Waiting Times, Next is the Demand to "Reduce Reservation Input Work"

The logistics industry faces a severe shortage of truck drivers. In particular, "waiting for cargo" at warehouses and logistics centers, where drivers wait for their turn to unload, can last for several hours, contributing to long working hours. The government also considers reducing waiting times a critical policy issue.

Hacobu's truck reservation acceptance service "MOVO Berth" is a system designed to improve this situation by allowing advance booking of truck arrival times to reduce waiting times. As of the end of February 2026, it is used by over 41,000 business sites (*1) and is expanding as an infrastructure in logistics operations. As the service's usage grew, new needs emerged from logistics sites, such as "we want to minimize routine input work to dedicate more time to other tasks." To provide an environment where users who make many reservations daily can efficiently handle increasing logistics needs while maintaining accuracy, we developed the "Reservation Template Feature" that allows saving and recalling frequently used reservation details. This supports the creation of an environment that reduces input work and allows for effortless handling of increasing reservation tasks.

Feature Overview: Save Frequently Used Reservation Details and Recall Them for Future Use

Key Features: Faster and More Accurate, Facilitating Team Work Sharing

・Organize reservation patterns as templates

Reservation form contents such as location, berth, item, quantity, and time slot can be saved as templates.

They can be managed by naming them according to business patterns, such as "Regular service for XX Center" or "Weekly service for △△ Shipper," allowing easy handling by simply selecting from a list even as the number of reservations increases.

・Quickly create reservations by entering only the changing parts

When a template is selected, the saved content is reflected directly in the form. Operators only need to confirm and enter the parts that change this time, such as dates and quantities, which also helps prevent input errors.

・Easier to share reservation tasks within a team

Tasks can be shared with other members, for example, by saying, "Please make a reservation using this template," thereby preventing work from concentrating on specific individuals and making it easier for the organization to manage reservations.

Future Outlook

In the world of inter-company logistics, many companies and transport operators are involved, yet communication often still relies on phone and fax, making it difficult to grasp the overall situation. When information is dispersed among individual companies, it is not easy to understand problems such as where trucks are waiting for how many hours or where inefficiencies exist.

Through services like the truck reservation acceptance service "MOVO Berth," Hacobu has accumulated on-site information such as truck arrival times and waiting times as data. The accumulation of data enables analysis of actual waiting times and work times, leading to improvements. Moving forward, Hacobu will continue to visualize the current state of logistics with numbers and promote "Data-Driven Logistics®," where companies can improve logistics by looking at common data, contributing to the creation of a stable logistics system.
