Problem space

Where planning becomes harder than it should be

Planning without fixed time slots

Deliveries are entered, but not clearly distributed across the day or committed in a reliable way.

Planning spread across multiple lists

Spreadsheets, emails and calls create parallel information instead of one shared view.

Appointments overlap or stay unused

Without central planning, you get double bookings, gaps and unclear appointment allocation.

Too much coordination for basic planning

Teams keep confirming and correcting appointments instead of running a clear shared plan.

Context

What onDock Core delivers in daily work

onDock Core moves delivery planning from spreadsheets and ad-hoc coordination into one central setup. Appointments are captured consistently, assigned to clear time slots and visible to everyone involved. This creates the reliable base you need before further control layers make sense.

Process

How planning is built with Core

Step 1

Capture deliveries centrally

Appointments are no longer spread across spreadsheets, email threads and calls but captured in one place.

Step 2

Assign time slots

Deliveries are linked to fixed slots and distributed clearly across the day.

Step 3

Create one shared view

All teams work from the same plan and can see what is already booked and what remains open.

Step 4

Keep planning reliable

Appointments stay traceable and stable instead of being re-coordinated all day.

Building blocks

What Core makes possible in planning

One central setup instead of scattered lists

Deliveries are no longer coordinated through spreadsheets, email and calls but managed in one place.

Clear time slots for the day

Appointments are distributed clearly across the day instead of bunching up by chance.

One shared status for everyone involved

Planning, warehouse and operational teams work from the same information base.

A stable base for the next step

Once planning is reliable, balancing and additional control become practical.

Best fit

When onDock Core is the right starting point

Core is a good fit when deliveries are still managed mainly through spreadsheets, email and calls and one central planning setup is missing.

It is the right first step when appointments are "somehow" coordinated but often overlap or need repeated adjustments.

Useful for sites that want to establish a reliable daily planning baseline before moving to deeper control or automation.

Less suitable if your team is already actively reordering appointments and coordinating directly with drivers - that is where higher packages fit better.

Operational signals

How you can tell the setup works

Deliveries are spread across the day instead of clustering in a few hours.

Fewer follow-up questions because everyone checks the same plan.

Fewer last-minute moves because appointments are placed clearly from the start.

Planned and actual arrivals match more closely.
