Intelligent Dock Door Assignment

What we deliver

The Problem (Before)

Coordinators juggle WMS, TMS, and DY to assign one door. No unified view.

Who feels this:

Warehouse & Logistics Manager, Transportation Manager, Facility Manager, Dock Supervisor, Dispatcher

The Outcome (After)

Dock doors assigned by load type, commodity, and warehouse proximity. Three-screen workflow replaced.

What makes this different:

Coordinators juggle three screens (WMS, TMS, yard system) to assign one dock door. This system reads all three simultaneously and assigns the optimal door in seconds, not minutes.

How it works

The building blocks behind this outcome.
What Happens

The system reads WMS, ERP, and Dynamic Yard simultaneously, assigns optimal dock doors by load type, commodity, and warehouse proximity, and pushes assignments to drivers via AutoGate.

The Intelligence Behind It

Door efficiency by load type and commodity

Optimal door allocation by facility layout

This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.

Why This Cannot Be Replicated

Coordinators juggle three screens (WMS, TMS, yard system) to assign one dock door. This system reads all three simultaneously and assigns the optimal door in seconds, not minutes. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company facility and yard intelligence is what cannot be replicated with software alone.
