Dock scheduling software for 3PLs

Third-party logistics warehouses live and die on door turnover. Every minute a trailer waits is a minute another carrier can't unload. SimpleDock gives 3PLs a single booking link per facility, so dispatchers, brokers, and carriers schedule themselves into the right window — without phone calls, group texts, or whiteboards.

What's broken today

The dock-scheduling problems your operation actually has.

Carriers showing up unannounced

Without a booking system, carriers arrive when they arrive — leaving your team to play traffic cop at the gate.

Phone tag with twenty different brokers

Each customer has its own dispatch desk. Coordinating across them eats your dock manager's whole morning.

No visibility into tomorrow

Spreadsheets and whiteboards never reflect the latest reschedule. Your morning planning meeting is mostly guesswork.

Try a booking

This is what your 3pl warehouses carriers see when they click your link.

Pick a slot, fill out the form, and watch a real booking flow. No setup required.

How SimpleDock fits

Tuned for how your dock actually runs.

One link per warehouse

Share a single short URL with every customer and carrier. They book the dock door themselves.

Per-customer appointment types

Different SLAs for different shippers — different durations, different forms, different windows.

Buffers between trucks

Configure paperwork or door-turnover time so back-to-back appointments don't collide.

Self-serve reschedules

When a carrier's load slips, they click the link in their confirmation and pick a new time. You get notified, the schedule updates, no phone call.

Frequently asked questions

Does SimpleDock work across multiple 3PL warehouses?
Yes. Each location gets its own booking link, dock-door configuration, and operating windows. Customers and carriers see only the facility they're booking into.
Can different customers see different appointment types?
You can configure appointment types per facility. For customer-specific workflows, use custom fields and per-type required information.
Will my carriers need to install an app?
No. Carriers and drivers book through a browser link. They get an SMS reminder before arrival with door number and reschedule link — no app, no login.
