Problem space
Deliveries are entered, but not clearly distributed across the day or committed in a reliable way.
Spreadsheets, emails and calls create parallel information instead of one shared view.
Without central planning, you get double bookings, gaps and unclear appointment allocation.
Teams keep confirming and correcting appointments instead of running a clear shared plan.
Context
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
Capture deliveries centrally
Appointments are no longer spread across spreadsheets, email threads and calls but captured in one place.
Assign time slots
Deliveries are linked to fixed slots and distributed clearly across the day.
Create one shared view
All teams work from the same plan and can see what is already booked and what remains open.
Keep planning reliable
Appointments stay traceable and stable instead of being re-coordinated all day.
Building blocks
Deliveries are no longer coordinated through spreadsheets, email and calls but managed in one place.
Appointments are distributed clearly across the day instead of bunching up by chance.
Planning, warehouse and operational teams work from the same information base.
Once planning is reliable, balancing and additional control become practical.
Best fit
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
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.
