What to know

Explore Opendock appointments, driver check-in, yard workflows, carrier access and integration questions.

Who it is for

Warehouses, distribution centres and 3PLs can use Opendock to coordinate appointments with carriers and follow freight through gate and yard activities.

Appointments, gate and yard

Carriers can book appointments, while warehouse teams can manage driver check-in, trailer visibility and yard-move tasks. The accepted product record also identifies carrier scorecards. Confirm which functions are enabled in the proposed package.

Opendock lists a native ShipperGuide TMS connection, plus an API and webhooks for other TMS, WMS and ERP connections. The vendor states that ShipperGuide Instant Rates are included in Opendock accounts at no extra cost. Interface implementation and other third-party charges should be confirmed.

The vendor lists English, Spanish and Portuguese as supported languages; confirm the language coverage of each interface and workflow your carriers and staff will use.

Scope and limitations
