Dock Scheduling:
Dock scheduling is a means for managing the timeliness of inbound and outbound transportation (truck traffic) at your loading docks in order to maximize the efficient operation of those docks.
Dock Scheduling System moves beyond appointment management by enabling sophisticated prioritization of customers, suppliers, loads, product types, carriers, and more, depending on your specific business needs. In essence, it's a capacity planning tool, or a smart-schedule.
A dock scheduling system should also have reporting capabilities that include audits on loads delivered, enabling compliance information to be recorded and transmitted automatically, and authoritatively.
Appointment Management:
Appointment management usually takes the form of a spreadsheet or commonly available online calendar (such as Outlook) that tracks the time slots your carriers/suppliers want at your dock. It has to be managed by a human scheduler, who keeps track of changes and conflicts, and keeps it up to date.
