Paying enterprise rates for dock scheduling features you don't need? ProDocks costs 90% less because it's built for your actual volume — 3-15 trucks per day. No hidden fees. No implementation costs. Go live in 30 minutes.
Warehouse teams tell us the same thing: “We're paying a lot, not getting value.” Enterprise dock scheduling platforms like OpenDock charge enterprise rates per location for yard management features you'll never use. Multi-year contracts. Implementation consultants. IT projects that take months.
If you run 3-15 trucks per day, that's 50-100x overkill. And it shows up in your monthly bill.
ProDocks is different. We built dock scheduling for lean warehouse teams — the ones running labor close to the bone, who need predictability without paying for enterprise complexity. 90% less cost. 30-minute setup. No IT required.
OpenDock: enterprise pricing (custom quotes required). ProDocks is priced for your actual volume, not high-volume yard management.
No implementation costs. No IT department required. No carrier onboarding fees. No training programs. What you see is what you pay.
Appointment scheduling, link-based carrier booking, QR check-in, extended scheduling, BOL capture, real-time visibility. Built for 3-15 trucks/day.
