DOCK by GLABs
Dock Management
Maximize dock utilization and minimize idle time with GLABs Dock Management.
GLABs Dock Management helps you plan and manage loading and unloading operations in real time, optimize the utilization of your loading docks and dock capacity, and reduce losses caused by idle time and detention charges.
Dock Management Features
Dock Door and Capacity Planning
Based on predefined resource and capacity rules, time slot bookings automatically reserve the appropriate dock door and loading position, ensuring optimal dock assignment for every loading or unloading operation. Trucks arriving without a time slot booking can be scheduled into the remaining available slots.
Picking Planning by Dock
Plan picking tasks by dock door based on scheduled time slot bookings, or assign a dock door to a picking task and call the truck to the appropriate dock when the load is ready. Whichever workflow you choose, GLABs supports your operation without limitations.
Truck Call
Call the driver to the selected dock door with a single click. Drivers receive the call via the GLABs Truck Call mobile app, SMS, a driver waiting area display, or an outdoor parking display.
Has the Truck Arrived Early or Is It Delayed?
No problem. With a clear overview of the entire day’s loading schedule, you can respond flexibly to changes. Reschedule the loading or unloading operation to the next available time slot or move it to another available dock door.
Delay Forecasting
In addition to the online time slot booking interface, drivers can report expected delays via the GLABs Truck Call mobile app. Simply reschedule the loading or unloading operation to another available time slot, and GLABs automatically notifies everyone affected by the change.
Rescheduling
With Dock Management, you have all the information you need to reschedule loading and unloading operations efficiently. Select a new time slot and reschedule the operation. GLABs notifies all relevant stakeholders of the change and ensures that the required dock capacity is available at the new scheduled time.
Picking Planning
Based on dock door bookings, you can easily plan warehouse picking tasks and assign them to your warehouse team using the Task Management module. Once picking is complete, the task can be marked as completed to indicate that the shipment is ready for loading.
Calendar or List View?
No need to compromise. Manage your daily loading and unloading schedule in either calendar or list view, depending on which gives you the clearest operational overview.


Real-Time Dock Management
Monitor dock door occupancy and availability in real time based on ongoing site operations. When needed, you can also use the Go:TAB tablet on the warehouse floor to check dock status and monitor warehouse operations directly at the loading docks.

Time is the only thing in the world that cannot be bought with anything! Lost time cannot be regained! Make wise use of the available time frame, which the GLABs time gate system can greatly assist with.
Planning and transparency. This software simplifies logistics work, saving you from unnecessary emails and phone calls. No data means no delivery. Previous deliveries can be easily retrieved and even exported.
The software quickly proved itself in practice after its introduction. Loading processes are predictable, allowing us to plan ahead reliably. In addition to the basic features, the development team is also capable of quickly implementing custom solutions.
The system provides solutions to our problems and fully met the expectations we had beforehand. Our business partner and subcontractors are also satisfied, as the software has fulfilled the expectations set for it.
Having experienced how much time and effort the company saves on the administrative side of freight management and how GLABs has made loading processes much more transparent and manageable, I can definitely recommend the software. Along with the software comes a professional, youthful, and helpful project and support team, which makes GLABs a comprehensive solution.
We absolutely recommend GLABs. Your greatest strengths are your flexibility and approach, thinking from the customer’s perspective. The software is great—very intuitive, easy to use, and visually appealing.
Nowadays, even greater pressure is placed on freight networks, which companies can only offset through continuous development and improved efficiency.

Thanks to the GLABs project team, the implementation was seamless and completed on schedule. Since then, the software has been continuously evolving and expanding, with new modules and features available, even tailored to individual needs.
