Dock Scheduling Agent

Confirmed carrier appointments, without the phone tag.

The trucking industry loses billions to detention because appointments are still coordinated through fragmented messages and calls. Logistify handles carrier booking requests across every channel, returns confirmed appointments to both sides, and keeps your coordinators focused on the exceptions that affect the day.

The Problem

Your coordinators spend 40% of their day on scheduling calls.

Traditional dock scheduling portals assumed carriers would change their behavior and log into a new web app. They don't. Carriers communicate via WhatsApp, email, and phone calls — especially in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. So coordinators spend hours every day answering booking requests, negotiating slots, confirming appointments, chasing ETAs, and handling no-shows. When communication breaks down, trucks wait at the dock — costing you and the carrier money.

The Solution

Send us carrier requests. We return a working dock schedule.

Logistify receives appointment requests from every carrier channel — WhatsApp, email, voicemail, or SMS — and runs the scheduling workflow for you. We check availability, offer and confirm slots, update your dock schedule, notify both parties, and prepare day-of exceptions such as delays or no-shows for fast resolution.

How it works

How Logistify delivers the work

1

Carrier sends a booking request

A driver in Lagos sends a WhatsApp message. A carrier in Manchester sends an email. A dispatcher in São Paulo leaves a voicemail. The agent captures all of them.

2

AI checks availability and offers slots

The agent checks your dock calendar in real-time and responds with available time slots that match the carrier's preferred window — automatically.

3

Slot confirmed, both parties notified

Once agreed, the agent sends a confirmation to the carrier and updates your internal dock schedule. No human coordinator needed.

4

Day-of management and exception handling

The agent monitors ETAs, pings carriers who are running late, reschedules no-shows, and backfills empty slots — all automatically, keeping your dock running at capacity.
