LoadMetrics Dock Scheduling
What it is
LoadMetrics Dock Scheduling brings dock appointments together with gate activity, yard workflows, freight records, carrier workflows, and analytics. A facility can publish its available dock times and rules, allowing carriers and suppliers to request appointments within those limits. Drivers can check in using QR and mobile workflows, provide arrival details and PO or BOL references, attach files or photos, and submit checkout updates. Teams can follow waiting trucks, dock assignments, yard status, dwell time, releases, and checkouts. Each load record can collect PO and BOL details alongside carrier and supplier status, messages, documents, notes, and activity history. The service supports standalone use, CSV-style imports and exports, API access, and webhook updates for ERP, TMS, and WMS workflows; appointment and load event webhooks use HMAC signatures. The free plan covers one facility and 25 dock appointments per month. Dock Scheduling is $49 a month for one facility and up to 250 appointments per month. A Complete LoadMetrics Platform plan is listed at $149 a month, starting at that amount.
