LoadMetrics Dock Scheduling
LoadMetrics Dock Scheduling connects dock appointments with gate activity, yard workflows, freight records, carrier workflows, and analytics in one operating platform. Facilities can publish availability and rules, then accept appointment requests from carriers and suppliers within configured constraints. Drivers can use QR and mobile workflows to submit arrival details, PO or BOL references, files, photos, and checkout updates. Teams can track waiting trucks, dock assignments, yard status, dwell time, releases, and checkout activity. A load record can collect PO and BOL details, 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; webhook delivery for appointment and load events is HMAC-signed. The free plan covers one facility and 25 dock appointments per month, with no credit card or expiration. Dock Scheduling costs $49 a month and covers one facility with up to 250 appointments per month. LoadMetrics is aimed at distribution, warehouse, and logistics teams.
