Dock Management

Operators allocate, release and optimize truck flow from a single dashboard.

How dock assignment works

From a waiting queue to the right door in one click — and the driver knows instantly.

Why dock management

What problem does it solve?

Without a shared view of the docks, staff have no clean way to tell a driver which door to use or to see which docks are already busy. Assignments happen over the radio or on a whiteboard, so two trucks get sent to the same dock and the queue at the gate turns into guesswork.

Logistiq turns the docks into a single live board. Every waiting truck is visible, a dock is assigned in one click, the board updates for everyone in real time, and the driver is notified automatically — no radios, no double-booked doors.

Radio & whiteboard

  • No shared view of which docks are free
  • Two trucks sent to the same door
  • Drivers told the dock by phone or radio
  • Status lives in someone's head

Logistiq dock board

  • Every dock's status, live for the whole team
  • A dock can hold only one truck at a time
  • The driver is notified the moment it's assigned
  • Waiting, assigned, loading, done — tracked automatically

Benefits for the whole team

From the gate to the office, everyone works from the same board.

For the operator

  • Sees every waiting, assigned and in-progress truck update live, with no refresh
  • Assigns any free dock from a single click, no radio call
  • Can't double-book a door — an occupied dock is locked to its truck

For the driver

  • Gets the assigned dock automatically by push, SMS and WhatsApp
  • Sees the dock's photos, GPS location and access instructions
  • Drives straight to the right door instead of waiting for a call

For the manager

  • Groups docks by department — separate loading and unloading zones
  • Sets up a whole row of docks in one action, no one-by-one setup
  • Sees each department's docks and the truck occupying each one

Frequently asked questions about dock management

The operator opens a waiting check-in and picks any free dock from a list. The dock instantly flips to occupied, the truck is routed there, and the previously assigned dock (on a reassignment) is freed automatically.
