Mobiledock vs SlotMaster

Mobiledock is dock management software for scheduling commercial vehicle arrivals and departures. It automates dock allocation and bookings, with status updates for arrivals, departures, no-shows and overstays. A live timeline shows dock activity and lets staff move bookings, change durations, reassign docks and update statuses. Configurable dashboards surface operational information such as carrier performance and booking volumes. Drivers can book on a mobile device, provide an estimated arrival time and show a booking QR code when they arrive. They can also check in from a phone or tablet without installing an app. License plate recognition, QR codes and PINs can operate access hardware such as boom gates, doors and bollards. Mobiledock provides inbound APIs, outbound webhooks and marketplace integrations, with options to build, embed or white-label integrations. The service is hosted in Australian AWS data centres. The company says it encrypts data in transit using TLS and encrypts stored data, and has a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation. Pricing is available on request; a trial can be arranged by contacting the company.

SlotMaster is dock scheduling software for booking inbound and outbound appointments. Warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, and third-party logistics teams can view appointments by timeline, calendar, or list across docks. Carriers reserve available slots through a public link without creating an account. Each dock can have separate operating hours, slot durations, buffer times, and daily booking limits. Booking statuses run from booked and confirmed through arrival recorded, in progress, completed, cancelled, and no-show. The interface and carrier portal support 14 languages. Higher plans exchange booking data with WMS, TMS, or ERP systems through REST API and webhooks. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with row-level organization policies and server-side checks for anonymous bookings. SlotMaster offers assisted pilots with configuration, carrier onboarding templates, training, and a review call. Essentials costs €99 a month; Professional costs €199 a month; Business costs €449 a month. A 10-day trial is available, with no free plan.
