DockPulse

DockPulse is a web + mobile app (traditional + AI) that helps brokers, carriers, and shippers reduce wasted time at pickup and delivery by forecasting dock congestion and appointment risk. It ingests live signals from ELD/GPS pings, appointment schedules, historical dwell by facility, and simple driver check-in/out events (QR or geofence). The app produces a “delay likelihood” score per stop, recommends earlier/later arrival windows, and flags high-risk facilities so dispatch can re-route, swap loads, or renegotiate appointment times. It also generates defensible dwell reports and automated detention documentation, but the core value is prevention, not after-the-fact arguing. Realistically, you won’t eliminate detention—many facilities are understaffed and don’t care—but you can reduce surprises, improve ETA reliability, and stop dispatchers from flying blind. Pricing can be per truck or per active load with tiered analytics.
