Dock scheduling solutions streamline dock scheduling activities and integrate them all on a single platform. Several docks face congestion issue, due to improper scheduling and monitoring of carriers, shippers, and consignees. Use of dock scheduling solutions resolves this issue by enabling carriers and shippers to schedule dock door appointments. These solutions coordinate outbound pickups and optimize receiving operations of inbound shipments. Use of dock scheduling solutions ensures that all supply chain partners are involved in the dock scheduling process. Carriers and shippers get visibility into scheduled, rescheduled as well as requested dock appointments on the platform. Vendors and carriers can book an appointment over the web portal or the application on a mobile device in real time. The solution also provides statistics about surges or dips in the dock activity so that the dock staff can be prepared for the same. This helps reduce overall costs and improve productivity by adjusting the staff level required, at peak hours or dip hours.

Some docks also integrate the solution with their inventory management solution to obtain end-to-end visibility into the inventory available. The solution automates the dock scheduling communication for all parties involved. Some of the dock scheduling solutions provided by market players also allow management of multiple dock sites with a single platform. Along with scheduling time, these solutions enable reserving the physical capacity and limiting the load of allocated time. If the carrier or vendor does not use the allocated slot, the configurable expiry date can free that allocated slot and allow others to book the same space. Typical pricing of the dock scheduling solution includes one-time installation fee and annual usage fee. The annual usage fee varies depending on the customer's usage volume of the system.
