DockSlot
What it is
DockSlot is web software for small warehouses to manage carrier booking requests and the daily dock schedule. Carriers can request available times through a public link without an account or password, but warehouse staff must review requests before confirming them. Staff can also enter appointments received by phone or email, then confirm, reject, cancel, mark no-shows, or update appointments as arrived, loading, or completed. The Schedule page groups a single warehouse day by dock door, and teams can set dock doors, appointment types, weekly hours, and booking instructions. Each booking accepts up to three PDF, JPG, or PNG files, up to 10 MB apiece. Admins can download CSV reports or create read-only report links that can be disabled or set to expire. Appointment history tracks key changes. DockSlot compares arrival-to-completion time with an account’s free-time setting as detention evidence, but does not calculate charges or create invoices. It is available through early-access demos; accounts are invite-only, with no self-serve signup. Pricing is on request.
