Customer booking meets gate-to-exit yard control in one app
Carriers self-book delivery and pickup windows on a portal, then that truck flows straight through gate check-in, weighbridge, dock assignment, quality checks and SLA tracking — all on one live yard board.
The problem
Trucks arrive unscheduled or in clusters, drivers queue at the gate with no clear check-in process, and dock doors sit idle or double-booked while staff coordinate by phone, spreadsheet and whiteboard. Generic calendar apps cannot enforce dock capacity or track a vehicle through the yard, and dedicated yard-control add-ons ignore customer self-booking — so buyers are stuck choosing half a solution, with no time-stamped audit trail to resolve detention disputes.
The solution
Yard & Dock Appointment Management unifies both halves: customers pick a delivery or pickup window on the portal, and that booking flows straight into gate check-in, security clearance, weighbridge capture, dock assignment and quality checks — all visible on one live yard board with SLA breach alerts and a throughput dashboard your team can act on immediately.
Everything the yard needs, in one app
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Customer Self-Service Portal
Carriers and customers pick and confirm an available delivery or pickup window online, then track every stage of their appointment without a single phone call.
Live Yard Board
A kanban board shows every truck's current stage at a glance — booked, arrived, at gate, at dock, quality check, departed — so nothing is coordinated by whiteboard or phone.
Dock Slot Capacity & Overlap Protection
Configure bookable time windows per dock with a hard capacity limit and automatic overlap validation, so two trucks can never claim the same slot.
Bulk Slot Generation Wizard
Generate a week or month of recurring slots across chosen weekdays, hours and duration in a single action instead of entering them one by one.
Security Checkpoint Workflow
Driver ID, vehicle documents and a safety check must all pass before a truck is cleared through the gate, with the officer and notes logged for every clearance.
Weighbridge & Net Weight Capture
Record gross weigh-in and weigh-out readings and get automatic net-weight calculation for every inbound and outbound movement.
Multi-Stage Quality Checkpoints
Log pass/fail inspection checkpoints per truck, with dock release blocked automatically until every failed check is resolved.
SLA Monitoring with Breach Alerts
Configurable per-type dwell-time targets flag at-risk and breached appointments in real time, and an hourly cron raises an activity the moment a target is missed.
Throughput & Dwell-Time Reporting
A pivot and graph dashboard breaks dwell time and gate-wait time down by warehouse, dock and appointment type so managers can prove and improve performance.
How it works
Customer Books a Slot
The carrier or customer picks an open delivery or pickup window on the portal and receives an instant confirmation email.
Truck Checks In at the Gate
On arrival, security verifies driver ID, vehicle documents and a safety check before clearing the truck onto site.
Dock, Weigh & Inspect
The truck is assigned a dock, weighed in and out on the weighbridge, and cleared through multi-stage quality checkpoints.
SLA-Tracked Departure
Every stage is timestamped against SLA targets, so managers see dwell time, breach alerts and throughput the moment the truck exits.
Frequently asked

Yes, for yard and dock use cases. Generic Appointments is calendar booking only; this module adds dock capacity enforcement, gate security, weighbridge capture, quality checks and a live yard board on top of the same booking concept.
