Dock management for distribution centres

Every minute a truck waits in your yard costs you money.

DockDirector cuts dwell time and detention fees with real-time truck tracking and automated bay assignment — and locks down the exit gate with a chain-of-custody check so freight stops going missing. Live in a day, with no gateway hardware to install.

Truck dwell time

Real-time arrival tracking and automated bay assignment get trucks to the right door faster — so they stop idling in your yard.

Recover
Detention & demurrage fees

A timestamped arrival-to-departure trail for every load gives you the evidence to dispute — and win back — carrier detention charges.

More loads
Per dock, per day

Faster turnaround means each door handles more trucks. Squeeze more throughput out of the docks you already have.

New · Loss prevention

The gate is where freight goes missing. Now it's where you stop it.

Switch on a chain-of-custody layer built on the data you already collect. The buzzer never goes back until the seal, the driver, the vehicle and the weight all reconcile.

Seal & identity check

The seal, driver and vehicle leaving must match what came in. A mismatch holds the truck at the boom until a manager clears it.

Weighbridge reconciliation

Weigh in vs weigh out vs what the WMS expected to move. A variance beyond your tolerance is flagged on the spot — catching short-loads and stuffing.

Risk score per visit

Blacklisted driver, an open hold, after-hours, off-route, first-time carrier — scored into one number so guards know which trucks to check hard.

Chain-of-custody certificate

A tamper-evident PDF of every checkpoint — seals, weights, who signed off — for the insurer, or if it comes to a dispute.

Restricted-zone alerts

A buzzer straying into a no-go area on your yard map raises an off-route flag and lifts that visit’s risk score.

ANPR, CCTV & e-seals

Optional: number-plate reads, camera snapshots and RFID / e-seal tamper events plug straight into the exit check.

Off by default · switch it on per site · no new WMS, no rip-and-replace.
