Schedule dock appointments
Give each warehouse dock hours and slots, book carriers onto doors, and check trucks in and out.
- Set up a Dock Calendar for the warehouse: slot length, opening and closing time, open weekdays, time zone, how late is late and when a booking becomes a no-show.
- Give each warehouse door its direction, whether it is refrigerated, takes hazardous goods and how many pallets it takes.
- Book on Dock Appointments, or let carriers and suppliers book through the supplier portal. A door already booked for that time is refused, naming the booking in the way.
- On the Dock Board press Check in when the truck arrives. It is recorded as early, on time or late and a yard movement is opened. Then To the door and Check out.
- Mark no-shows clears bookings whose truck never came.
