Open access safely
Share booking access without losing control over which times are available.
Time slot booking
Time slot booking that keeps partners inside site rules
YardLayer lets external partners book confirmed arrival or delivery times through public links without exposing the internal admin workspace.
Keep booking simple
Partners choose from visible availability instead of negotiating manually.
Preserve control after confirmation
Changes and cancellations still use the capacity-aware availability rules.
Practical context
Why time slot booking needs more than an open calendar
Time slot booking should reduce negotiation, not move it to a different screen. YardLayer gives partners a direct booking route while keeping the slot list constrained by what the site has decided it can accept.
Give partners a clear path
External users choose from available times, submit booking details, and receive confirmation without being invited into the customer admin workspace.
Keep the booking promise realistic
A slot is shown only when the location rules and current bookings leave capacity available. That keeps instant confirmation aligned with the site's actual plan.
Keep ownership with the site
Admins still own opening windows, capacity limits, resources, exceptions, and the lifecycle of each booking. Public access does not mean public control.
