Dock scheduling software
Dock scheduling software for warehouses in the US, UK & worldwide
DockOptima lets carriers and hauliers book their own delivery and collection slots against your real bay capacity, so trucks arrive spread through the day instead of all at once. Used by sites in the US, UK and worldwide, priced per site with no per-booking fees.
What dock scheduling software does
Dock scheduling software replaces phone calls, emails and spreadsheets with a shared booking calendar. Each dock bay has opening hours, the load types it can handle and how long each load takes. Hauliers only see slots that genuinely fit.
- Self-service carrier booking portal with live availability
- Load-type durations, for example 20 minutes for a skip and 60 minutes for a 45ft trailer
- Required booking fields such as PO number, with vehicle registration optional
- Drag-and-drop dock calendar for the site team
- Booking confirmations, approvals and two-way messages with the haulier
From booking to departure
A booking becomes a tracked visit. Drivers check in from their phone with a QR code or at the gatehouse kiosk, the site sees them arrive, and every step from gate in to gate out is timestamped for dwell-time and detention reporting.
Who it suits
Independent 3PLs, distribution centres and manufacturers with roughly 4 to 30 dock bays who want control of inbound and outbound traffic without an enterprise implementation project.
