Delivery operations
Planning is in place – but the day runs differently
onDock is built for the fact that changes are part of daily operations – and keeps the day predictable anyway.
In practice, this requires more than planning alone.
onDock is dock scheduling software designed to coordinate truck arrivals and manage daily dock operations more effectively.
Delivery operations
What then happens during the day
Several deliveries at once, last-minute coordination – the day starts to slip.
People start coordinating at short notice
Waiting times build up
The day becomes harder to follow
Key difference
Planning alone does not solve the problem
A plan only helps as long as everything runs as intended. What matters is what happens when several deliveries arrive at the same time or something shifts at short notice.
That is exactly what onDock is designed for:
Sequence
Clearly decide what happens next
Changes
Put changes into context right away instead of reorganizing
Day
The day stays stable, even when something shifts
Packages
Three packages for different requirements in delivery operations
Not every site needs the same scope right away. That is why onDock is structured in three packages that build on each other logically.
onDock Core
Create the foundation
The foundation for stable delivery operations
For companies that first want to create basic structure, visibility and reliable planning.
- Overview of deliveries and time slots
- A plannable basic structure for how the day runs
onDock Flow
Steer the day
Less friction during the day
For operations that want to reduce waiting times and actively steer how the day runs.
- Steer the day through dispatch and operations
- Less backlog in day-to-day operations
onDock Control
Intervene where needed
Finer control when bottlenecks appear
For sites that need to intervene directly when things change and involve drivers more closely.
- Intervene more directly in conflicts and bottlenecks
- Bring drivers and documents into the day-to-day flow
Impact
What improves operationally
Less waiting
Arrivals spread out better and unnecessary idle time goes down.
More visibility
Everyone sees the same operational status.
More even utilisation
Delivery locations and resources are used more evenly across the day.
Faster response
Changes become visible sooner and can be handled more directly.
