1. What is Opendock?
Opendock is a centralized SaaS dock scheduling platform focused on solving the problems of trucks waiting in the yard by allowing carriers and brokers to book dock appointments with warehouses online. Warehouses purchase the platform to manage appointment availability, track workflow, and provide online scheduling to carriers.
2. How does it work?
1. Warehouses create available time slots based on # of docks, loading time, equipment needed and labor.
2. Carriers go to Opendock.com to schedule an appointment with the warehouse and provide PO #, pallet counts, etc.
3. Appointment shows up on the warehouse's schedule and a confirmation e-mail sent to carrier.
4. Carrier arrives at warehouse, checks in, promptly unloaded and departing for next shipment.
