DockingWare

DockingWare is a warehouse management system (WMS) and operational ERP for ecommerce sellers and third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses. It is built for operations that have outgrown shipping tools and spreadsheets, but that enterprise software would crush. From 10 SKUs to 50,000 and beyond. The platform runs on a single immutable inventory ledger: every movement leaves a row naming who, when, and why. Sales channels connect directly; orders come in, available-to-promise inventory is published out, and fulfillment tracking flows back. The warehouse floor picks, packs, and ships with barcode verification on handheld scanners. Accounting sees the real landed cost of every unit. Capabilities include real-time multi-warehouse inventory, marketplace and Shopify order synchronization, available-to-promise control with per-channel inventory reserves, barcode picking and pack verification, kitting, bundles and assemble-to-order fulfillment, lot and expiration tracking with FEFO replenishment, purchase orders, receiving, putaway and cycle counting, packaging material inventory, parcel shipping labels and carrier tracking, and QuickBooks accounting synchronization. DockingWare is multi-tenant by design, so a 3PL can run separate client operations on one platform. Currently in early access.

LoadingCalendar

Loading Calendar

LoadingCalendar Dock appointment scheduling software for warehouses and factories. It replaces the whiteboard, shared Excel sheet or Outlook calendar used to plan loadings. What it does Carriers and suppliers book their own dock times through your company's Booking Portal link. They verify their email once, then see only free slots and their own bookings. Double-booking isn't possible, since each slot holds one appointment and the calendar updates live. Your team sees all loadings by day or week, in calendar or list view, with color-coded statuses (New, Arrived, In progress, Done). Arrival and start times are recorded automatically, so late trucks show up in the statistics without anyone tracking them by hand. Features *Unlimited warehouses, docks, users and carriers *Booking Portal for carriers, suppliers and customers *Automatic email notifications for new and changed bookings *User roles with set permissions *Recurring loadings and loading duration rules by quantity *Documents and photos attached to loadings *Log entries per loading *Statistics with Excel export *Open API for integration with your ERP, WMS or TMS *Works on any touchscreen device What it doesn't do No yard management, license plate recognition or automatic gate control. LoadingCalendar is a scheduling tool and is kept simple on purpose. There are no pre-built ERP or WMS connectors; integrations are built on your side using the API. Who it's for Manufacturers, wholesalers and logistics companies with 1–5 warehouses and 2–10 docks per site, where the warehouse team currently handles carrier scheduling by phone, email or spreadsheet. Company LoadingCalendar is made by Cargoson Ltd. (HQ Estonia), the company behind Cargoson TMS. ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 certified.

LoadMetrics

LoadMetrics is a logistics software platform designed for distributors, manufacturers, warehouses, and supply chain teams that need a more structured way to manage freight activity, dock scheduling, carrier communication, gate check-in, yard visibility, and operational analytics. The platform helps organizations replace disconnected processes such as emails, phone calls, spreadsheets, shared calendars, and manual carrier updates with one connected operating view. LoadMetrics offers a suite of logistics modules that can be used individually or together based on the needs of each operation. These capabilities include dock appointment scheduling, load posting, carrier communication, mobile gate check-in, yard visibility, claims and incident tracking, and performance analytics. By connecting these workflows, LoadMetrics helps teams improve coordination between procurement, transportation, warehouse operations, carriers, and leadership. The platform is designed for organizations that want better visibility into the daily movement of freight without taking on unnecessary complexity. A company may begin by using LoadMetrics for dock scheduling and carrier coordination, then expand into gate check-in, yard management, freight activity tracking, and analytics as operational needs grow. This modular approach allows teams to start with the areas creating the most friction while maintaining the flexibility to support broader logistics execution over time. One of the key benefits of LoadMetrics is its ability to connect shipment activity, appointments, carriers, facilities, and operational performance in one place. Warehouse teams can manage inbound and outbound appointment flow, operations leaders can monitor yard activity and exceptions, procurement teams can coordinate loads with approved carriers, and finance or management teams can review freight trends and operational data. This creates a more consistent process for managing freight and facility activity across the organization. LoadMetrics is also built to support practical implementation. Many logistics software projects can be costly, complex, and time-consuming before teams see meaningful value. LoadMetrics provides a more accessible path for companies that want to improve logistics visibility, reduce manual follow-up, and strengthen operational control without requiring a large enterprise implementation from the beginning. Our goal is to help supply chain teams improve how freight, dock, gate, yard, and analytics workflows are managed. By bringing these areas together, the platform enables organizations to operate with greater visibility, consistency, and accountability across daily logistics operations.

Mobiledock

Mobiledock is a cloud-based dock appointment scheduling and yard management platform that automates loading dock operations, from appointment booking through to site access control and delivery completion. Proudly Australian-owned and developed, Mobiledock now supports sites across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, and North America. Mobiledock acts as "air traffic control" for inbound and outbound freight, giving warehouses, distribution centres, hospitals, shopping centres, event and exhibition venues, airports, construction sites, and city precincts a single system to plan, track, and manage every vehicle movement in real time. WHAT IT DOES Mobiledock automates the full dock scheduling lifecycle: carriers and suppliers book appointments online, sites configure automated or manual approval rules, and dock activity is tracked from first booking request through to confirmed completion. The platform integrates with boom gates, license plate recognition (LPR), and other site access hardware to control entry with minimal manual intervention, and supports mass upload of bulk or interstate bookings for high-volume operations. Core capabilities include appointment and automated scheduling, dock and yard management, multi-location support, availability management, resource allocation and labour planning, real-time notifications and alerts, reporting and statistics, client and self-service portals, and third-party integrations with ERP, WMS, and communications systems (including NetSuite, Procore, Twilio, and SendGrid). WHO USES IT Mobiledock is used by organisations managing anywhere from a handful of loading bays to complex, high-density sites with dozens of docks and hundreds of daily bookings. Customers span distribution centres and 3PLs, manufacturing and FMCG, cold storage and food logistics, retail and shopping centre landlords, healthcare facilities, airports, construction sites, hotels, and event and entertainment venues — a broader industry footprint than most dock scheduling competitors, many of which focus solely on warehousing. RESULTS Customers report up to 35% higher overall dock efficiency, 50% faster dock turnaround times, and the elimination of unnecessary demurrage and detention costs after implementing Mobiledock. Other reported outcomes include significantly reduced site congestion, improved load and pallet tracking, better carrier compliance, and stronger visibility across inbound and outbound inventory flows for all stakeholders — from warehouse teams to carriers and tenants. WHY MOBILEDOCK - Reduces congestion and improves dock utilisation through structured, rules-based scheduling - Enhances site security and safety with integrated access control, boom gates, and LPR - Eliminates unnecessary detention and demurrage costs through reliable arrival sequencing - Gives real-time visibility into inbound and outbound inventory flows for all stakeholders - Scales from single-dock sites to complex, multi-location, high-density operations - Supports a wide range of industries beyond traditional warehousing, including healthcare, retail, aviation, construction, and events Mobiledock is available via web, Android, and iPhone/iPad, with support including email/help desk, phone, FAQ/forum, and live chat, plus in-person, live online, and self-paced training and onboarding options.
