Dock operators
Dock scheduling software for the gate and the yard
Appointments, gate check-in, a live yard map and dwell clocks for the people running the door.
What you told us, and the screen that answers it
“Two carriers show up for the same door.”
Appointments are kept in a calendar the carrier cannot see.
An appointment calendar per door with slot length, cutoffs and capacity, and a portal where carriers book against the same rules.

“We lose the trailer that arrived this morning.”
Where a trailer sits lives in someone's head or on a whiteboard.
A yard map of spots, doors and trailers by status, with trailers dragged between spots and spotter moves queued as tasks.

“Detention gets billed on a guess.”
Arrival and departure times are read from a paper log.

The parts you would use
How it works
- 01
Demo
We walk through the screens for your kind of operation, or you try the sandbox yourself.
- 02
Onboarding call
We go through your data and your workflows with you, suggest and listen, and agree what goes where and what needs to be added.
- 03
Build
We shape the platform around your operation and add the pieces you need. Most builds are handed over in 14 days; your timeline is confirmed in writing after the onboarding call.
- 04
Migration
We migrate you free with any Cargohold build: we move your data from your current system at no cost. If your current vendor makes exporting hard, we work with their support or build a workaround. Migration time is agreed at onboarding and comes on top of the build.
- 05
Handover
The system goes live on your own server, and the code and data are yours.
- 06
Three months of free support
Any fixes to the system we delivered are included for the first three months.

After that, your choice
We train your IT team to run it, or we run it for you with 24/7 support for a fixed monthly fee, quoted with the build.

Questions
What happens to our doors, appointments and yard history?
Free migration: we review your data with you, agree what moves where, and move it into your new system at no cost. Migration time is agreed at onboarding and comes on top of the build. If your current vendor makes exporting hard, we work with their support or build a workaround.
Who owns the system?
You do. The code and the data are yours, and the system runs on your own server, which we set up for you. There are no per-truck, per-dispatch or per-client fees.
