Link-based carrier booking. No login, no app, no training. Carriers book in under 60 seconds. 90% fewer scheduling calls to your dock office.
Every traditional carrier portal has the same failure mode: carriers don't use it. They forget the password, they don't want to create yet another account, and they pick up the phone instead. The dock office ends up answering the same calls they were supposed to eliminate — except now they're also paying for a portal nobody touches.
ProDocks eliminates the adoption problem by killing the login. You send a carrier a booking link; they open it, pick an available slot, and confirm. That's the whole flow. No account creation, no credential recovery, no training video. The first time a carrier uses it, they're done in under a minute — and they actually come back for the next booking because the friction is gone.
This isn't a philosophical difference. It's the mechanical reason ProDocks customers see 90% reductions in scheduling phone calls within the first two weeks. When self-service is genuinely self-service — no gatekeeping login — carriers use it. For the underlying reasons lean warehouse teams can't keep spending dock-office time on scheduling calls, see how to reduce truck wait times without adding staff.
With ProDocksSelect a date and time slot for your delivery
Carriers get a personalized link to view available slots, book appointments, upload documents, and track shipments — all without picking up the phone or creating an account.
Carriers see available slots and book instantly without waiting for approval.
Time-limited invite links with customer-specific permissions and restrictions.
Automated emails for confirmations, reminders, and schedule changes.
Carriers don't want to learn a new system for every shipper they work with. ProDocks respects that: the booking link opens in any browser, works on any device, and doesn't require a carrier TMS integration to function. Small carriers can book from a phone. Larger carriers with their own TMS can use the ProDocks REST API to pull appointment slots and push confirmations programmatically.
For warehouse teams, the portal feeds directly into the dock scheduling engine and the QR driver check-in so the booking carrier made in the office becomes the timestamp captured at the dock. No duplicate data entry, no reconciliation.

“Our carriers described the old process as one more pain point in their day. Now they get a link, they pick a slot, they're done. We went from three full-time hours a day on scheduling calls to basically zero. My dock manager can actually stay on the dock.”
