DockTakt

DockTakt is a web + mobile app for small-to-mid warehouses that still schedule inbound/outbound docks via email, spreadsheets, or phone calls. It provides a self-serve appointment portal for carriers, real-time dock status, and simple yard visibility without requiring a full WMS or YMS replacement. The system enforces capacity rules (door type, labor availability, unload/load time standards) and flags risky appointments that will cause bottlenecks. A lightweight check-in/out flow (QR code or PIN) captures actual arrival, dwell, and departure times to generate detention-ready reports and vendor scorecards. An AI layer suggests slot durations and staffing adjustments based on historical dwell, SKU mix, and day-of-week patterns, but the core value works without perfect data. The goal is pragmatic: reduce dock congestion, overtime, and carrier frustration with minimal IT lift.
