In their own words
DockSync
DockSync is a browser-based platform for scheduling dock activity and managing warehouse bookings, bays, supplier performance and driver check-ins. Warehouse teams can create bookings, or suppliers can book deliveries, collections, returns and other planned activity themselves. Drivers check in by scanning a QR code with a smartphone, without needing a driver app; staff can then send SMS instructions from the dashboard. The calendar offers month, week and day views, with controls for operating hours, restricted hours and blackout dates. Reports cover supplier activity, on-time performance, completion rates, delays, missed bookings and bay occupancy, with CSV export. Starter and Growth include API access; Enterprise lists webhooks and SSO/SAML. Accounts currently cover one warehouse, while Enterprise offers volume pricing for multiple sites; a unified multi-warehouse dashboard is listed as roadmap. Starter costs £79 a month for one warehouse and up to eight bays. Growth is £179 a month for one warehouse with unlimited bays. The 30-day trial includes Growth features, requires no payment details and does not automatically bill at the end.
SimpleDock
SimpleDock schedules dock appointments for warehouses, distribution centers, and 3PLs. Carriers and drivers book through a shareable link without an account, app installation, or login. Facilities can set operating hours, door capacity, slots per hour, appointment duration, buffer times, and minimum notice. The software supports approval workflows, driver check-in, dwell-time tracking, custom booking questions, and email and SMS notifications. TV Mode displays a live dock schedule on a smart TV or browser without requiring a login or app. Listed integrations and event destinations include Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack, Zapier, and signed webhooks. The REST API can read availability and create or manage appointments; API keys are available on Pro plans. Free costs nothing and covers one location and up to three team members. Pro costs $49 a month per location for one to nine locations, with lower listed rates for larger counts. Pro includes unlimited locations and team members, analytics, custom appointment fields, and selected integrations.
