ProDocks is free forever for a single warehouse — vs OpenDock's custom enterprise quote. Launches in 30 minutes, no IT required. Carriers book via link, drivers QR check-in, BOLs captured at the dock.
Last updated: March 2026
OpenDock is priced and built for high-volume distribution centers — 50+ trucks per day, enterprise IT teams, and custom implementation budgets. If you're running 3–15 trucks a day at a 3PL or mid-market DC, you're paying enterprise rates for features your team will never touch.
The other problem is OpenDock's two-sided marketplace model. Carriers are incentivized to game the system — booking wrong load types to get better times, creating phantom pickups, canceling last-minute. Your dock plan dissolves by 2pm.
ProDocks is built for the other end of the market. Lean teams, tight labor, real predictability. Free forever for a single warehouse. 30-minute setup. No IT required. You control the schedule. Carriers self-book with zero friction. Drivers check themselves in. BOLs are captured at the dock.
OpenDock charges enterprise rates per location — custom quotes required, no published pricing. ProDocks is free for a single warehouse and $25/warehouse/month for multi-site. Stop paying for enterprise yard management features you'll never use.
Configure docks, hours, and rules in 30 minutes. Your ops team does it. No implementation project, no IT tickets, no waiting weeks to go live.
No carrier gaming. No booking wrong load types to exploit gaps. No phantom pickups. You set the rules, carriers follow them.
Stop paying enterprise rates for complexity you don't need.
