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. > > 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. ----- ### "Opendock is a good platform for scheduling trucks." — 4.0/5 > **Patrick** | *04 February 2025* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Dispatchers can schedule appointments using our Opendock calendar. > > **Cons**: Couldn't get run a good shipping report. > > We were satisfied with Opendock. It worked as advertised and was overall easy to use. ----- ### "Opendock appointment logs" — 3.0/5 > **Tanisha** | *21 January 2025* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. > > It wasn't a bad experience. Opendock just needs to add sections where you can add much needed information. ----- ### "Pretty much the perfect dock scheduling system\!" — 5.0/5 > **Brent** | *29 August 2024* | Plastics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Good and bad" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *29 August 2024* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are many tools in here that are valuable and the date that provided is amazing. > > **Cons**: it allows to others to track as well and change times with out notice > > Not bad. It allows tracking but there's to many hands that can Change at any time . ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1020762/opendock?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1020762/opendock) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
