What DockSlot is
DockSlot is web software for small warehouse teams handling dock bookings and a daily appointment queue. Carriers can request available times through a public link without a DockSlot account, while warehouse staff review requests before confirming them. Teams can also enter appointments received by phone or email, then confirm, reject, cancel, mark no-shows, or update appointments as arrived, loading, or completed. The schedule presents one warehouse day grouped by dock door; setup includes dock doors, appointment types, weekly hours, and booking instructions. Bookings can include up to three PDF, JPG, or PNG files, each up to 10 MB. Admins can download CSV reports or make read-only report links that can be disabled or expire. Appointment history records key changes. DockSlot compares arrival-to-completion time with the account’s free-time setting as detention evidence, but it does not calculate charges or create invoices. It is available through early-access demos, with accounts created by invite and no self-serve signup. Billing and integrations are not yet in the available workflows. Pricing is on request.
