Just define the following:

• set booking closing time for door-door bookings (to allow sufficient time for pick-up)
• define booking number prefix (remaining booking number is automatically generated)
• define contents and layout of e-mail booking confirmation to customer
• define in-house prompting in case of bookings
• publish booking functionality on your own website or use ARL e-Book Platform portal

If you manage allocation or capacity, also:

• define alternative products; for example, 1x40DRY = 2x20DRY
• define the capacity or allocation on services;
• specify the alternative product replacement within the capacity on transport assets; for example, 25 of 40x20 can be replaced.

and your booking self-service engine is available on the net!
