What DockLedger does

The console, the floor apps, and why one record beats a spreadsheet and a clipboard.

Last updated

DockLedger is the record of what happens at your dock. Carriers book a slot, drivers check themselves in on their phone, your team says which gate to go to, and every minute of it lands on a shared board that the whole site can see. When the delivery is unloaded, the same record follows the stock: what was declared, what actually came off, which slot it went into, and which pallet should be picked next.

It replaces the things most sites are doing instead — a shared spreadsheet, a clipboard on the gate, a WhatsApp group, and someone’s memory. The reason to bother is that when a carrier disputes a demurrage charge six weeks later, you have the timestamps, and when a customer asks why they got stock that was two days off code, you can show which pallet was picked and why.

It is two kinds of screen. The console is what the office uses at a desk: the board, the yard, stock, the pick board, billing. The floor apps are what people carry: the checker app for goods in, the picker app, the counter, the butchery app and the bench station. Nothing on the floor is typed twice — a scan on the floor is the entry in the office.

You only see what you switch on

A cross-dock with no racking has no business showing a Stock tab. Every part of DockLedger can be turned off for your site under Workspace tools on the Plan & billing screen, and everything hidden is one less thing to explain to a new starter.
