Supply Chain Analyst Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A good dock management and scheduling software with some flaws" October 2, 2025 4.0 Opendock has significantly improved our visibility of inbound and outbound loads and helped in much better resource and manpower planning at our warehouses. While most of it's features are great, there is room for improvement which can make it an even better product. I recommend Opendock to anyone looking to organize their load planning and appointment scheduling tasks for warehouses. Pros Opendock lets you schedule appointments for warehouse pick-ups and drop-offs. I like that it notifies us of every milestone event that occurs in an appointment. That makes it much easier to track appointments in a sea of schedules. Cons The user interface is a bit janky. Once an appointment detail is updated, the page completely refreshes randomly, and it is impossible to find where you had last made an update. Also, it only allows updates to appointments 2 at a time. Then, you'll have to refresh the page to update again. Review Source Response from Loadsmart October 24, 2025 Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear Opendock has made it easier to track appointments, improve visibility, and support your warehouse planning. We also appreciate your feedback on the interface and will keep working to make the experience even better. Thanks for recommending Opendock and for being part of our community! PR Patrick R. Warehouse and Distribution Manager Warehousing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Opendock is a good platform for scheduling trucks." February 4, 2025 4.0 We were satisfied with Opendock. It worked as advertised and was overall easy to use. Pros Dispatchers can schedule appointments using our Opendock calendar. Cons Couldn't get run a good shipping report. Switched from [Appointment Reminder](https://www.capterra.com/p/154255/Appointment-Reminder/) Opendock was used by more carriers than Appointment Plus. Also thought that we were going to get the same features or more features, but that wasn't the case. Review Source TH Tanisha H. Warehouse Supervisor Warehousing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Opendock appointment logs" January 21, 2025 3.0 It wasn't a bad experience. Opendock just needs to add sections where you can add much needed information. Pros It was easy to maneuver around in. Learning how to use it was easy as well. Cons You couldn't capture actually loading times. It only captured the time of arrival and departure. Review Source BF Brent F. Warehouse and Logistics Manager Plastics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pretty much the perfect dock scheduling system!" August 29, 2024 5.0 I have been extremely satisfied with our implementation of Opendock for our company. There really isn't much more to say than I have already said, it has been a game changer for our department, almost as much as hiring more staff. Pros The ease of scheduling appointments for us and for outside carriers is perfect. I can even get some of my older, more computer illiterate customers to book with little issue. Being able to upload and save files for each appointment is great and had enabled my department to cut down on paper documents and waste less paper and toner, plus finding the documents is as easy as going back to the date or searching with a keyword. Cons The only con we have faced is with uploading documents. You have to upload everything at once and then you can't upload more without deleting what is there and reuploading everything. I was able to bring this up with Opendock and they said they plan to update this feature, so hopefully that will be coming in the near future. Alternatives considered [GoRamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/204639/GoRamp/) Reason for choosing Opendock Had all the features we wanted without any upcharges. I liked that Opendock is based in the US for support issues and timezones. Review Source NT Nick T.

Pros Freedom of scheduling and it allows us know what trucks are inbound. Cons Nothing it suits us very well. we used a different scheduler in the past but this one works best for us.

Sr Supply Chain Manager Warehousing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All inclusive scheduling platform" September 26, 2025 5.0 Have been with Open Dock since 2018. The upgrades and new fearures complete an overall transparent scheduling system. No questions needed. From carrier booking to completion of inbound or outbound shipments, there is full audit history and reporting easily identifies problem areas. All inclusive system for a scheduling application. Pros System is user friendly and easy to navigate. Ease of booking on the carrier side along with warehouse side confirming and completing the appointments. Full visibility! Cons Our program would benefit from some features specific to our needs but not for most. Would like ability for some system adjustments we could do individually. All in good time as the rest of the program outweighs what we lack. And the fearure of an app would benefit carriers are warehouse dock personnel who are not always near a work station. Review Source Response from Loadsmart October 22, 2025 Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for being with Opendock since 2018! We’re thrilled to hear the system has made scheduling more transparent and efficient for your team, from booking to reporting.

CSR Warehousing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My Open Dock Review " September 29, 2025 4.0 I love using Open Dock it's very manageable, easy to navigate, and extremely convenient. It makes the workflow smoother and more efficient. Pros The convenience of having each driver sign in and sign out while approving their loads streamlines the process by ensuring accurate tracking of work hours and load assignments. It simplifies accountability, reduces paperwork, and allows real-time updates, making operations more efficient and transparent for both drivers and management. Cons Sometimes, processing the load updates can take a while, requiring me to log out completely and log back in to refresh the system. This helps ensure the loads go through properly, even though it adds a bit of delay. Review Source Response from Loadsmart October 23, 2025 Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. It’s great to hear how driver sign-in/sign-out and load approvals are helping streamline your workflows, improve accountability, and reduce paperwork. That kind of transparency is exactly what we aim to deliver for both drivers and management. We also appreciate you pointing out the need to refresh for load updates. Our team is always looking for ways to improve performance and minimize delays, and feedback like yours helps us prioritize where to focus. We’re glad Opendock has made your operations easier to manage and more efficient, and we look forward to continuing to support your success. SK SHRI K. Warehouse Clerk Warehousing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Improved Logistics Visibility with Scheduling Challenges" September 26, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Opendock was positive. It significantly improved our logistics coordination and reduced manual communication with carriers. While there’s room for improvement in performance and customization, the platform delivered on its core promise of simplifying dock scheduling and enhancing transparency. Pros What I liked most about Opendock was its intuitive interface and real-time scheduling capabilities. It streamlined the appointment booking process, reduced wait times, and made it easy to manage dock availability across multiple locations. The visibility into carrier arrivals and departures was a huge plus for operational efficiency. Cons What I liked least was the system’s allowance for multiple appointments to be booked on continuous time slots without adequate buffer or overlap checks. This sometimes led to congestion and delays at the dock, especially during peak hours. Additionally, the lack of customization in notification settings and occasional performance lags could be improved. Review Source Response from Loadsmart October 23, 2025 We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback. It’s great to hear that Opendock has helped simplify scheduling and improve visibility for your team. Your suggestions around buffer checks, notifications, and performance are very valuable, and our product team is actively exploring enhancements in these areas. We’re excited to keep improving the experience and deliver even more value moving forward. KS Karl S.

The right hand did not know what the left hand completed. Pros The program has undergone some changes since becoming a customer. Those changes have been good for the end user. Cons Difficulty navigating to setting times for our docks. Trucking companies not seeing the available docks in OpenDock Alternatives considered [DataDocks](https://www.capterra.com/p/179266/DataDocks/) Reason for choosing Opendock This was in place when I took over the position.

The platform is easy to navigate, scheduling is straightforward, and it helps save time compared to manual processes. Pros Opendock is easy to navigate and look at upcoming loads for the week. Looking for PO's make it a breeze. Cons I like that the site is easy to navigate, but the one drawback is that certain features could be a little more customizable, such as appointment reminders or editing options. Review Source Response from Loadsmart October 22, 2025 We love that you brought this up. Appointment reminders are planned as a setting in 2026, and we’ll also keep exploring more customization options. Thank you for sharing your feedback! NM Nichole M.

September 26, 2025 5.0 Great, I am happy to use this software compared to the old paper logs that we used to use. Now, scheduling isn't the biggest headache of the day. Pros Opendock creates a highly visual scheduling experience. I like being able to code the loads as they arrive and finish. It makes scheduling much easier. Now, our brokers are booking directly. Cons I would get logged out on occasion as I was working. Sometimes there were brief access issues as well. Review Source Response from Loadsmart October 22, 2025 We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. It’s great to hear how Opendock has made scheduling more visual and efficient, and that brokers are now booking directly through the platform.

Inbound Operations Manager Warehousing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recommendation of Opendock for proper scheduling" August 29, 2024 5.0 Good--we were rough at the start due to switching companies, but the more that we use Opendock, we are getting a stronger understanding of what it can do. Pros I like the fact that we can have carriers schedule through Opendock instead of us having to do the schedule. With our past company, we would take emails and plot out the schedules ourselves but with Opendock, we don't really have to have that much interaction with the carriers--just instruct them where to schedule and what company to use on Opendock. Cons I don't like that we have to consolidate the schedule every time we want to keep vendors from scheduling too heavy during a day. For example, we have Coyote who tries to kill us with scheduling six trailers in one day. We have had to cut down the schedules/dock doors to try to limit the carrier from scheduling so heavy. I wish there was a way that a carrier was limited by Opendock to where they could only schedule 2 or 3 a day (set up in Opendock by us) to limit a carrier from trying to overkill us on trucks. There might be an option, but I have not really heard of a way to prevent this. This would save us some issues with our current situation. Review Source LS Lona S.

Prior to subscribing, I had a person devoted to scheduling loads into facility. Great win and love being able to run reporting too. Cons Adding/removing docks, but it works smoothly now.

They are constantly adding new features which give us even more opportunities to improve our operations. Cons A scalable pricing program would benefit small operations.

I have not found anything I don't like about Opendock system.
