Ten jobs
on the dock.One schedule.
Everything Ardelis does happens around your doors: before the truck arrives, while it is at the dock, and after it leaves. Here is each part, with a preview built on demo data.
Every door, every hour, on one board.
Dock door schedule
A live board of your doors across the day. Appointments sit in their slot, change state as trucks arrive and leave, and can be moved by drag or by editing the time when plans change.
- Doors set as inbound, outbound or both
- Opening hours and slot lengths per door
- Day and week views
- Conflicts flagged before they reach the yard

One link you share with carriers and suppliers. They see only the windows you allow, enter their references and get a confirmation. You decide whether requests are accepted instantly or held for approval.
- Booking window and cut-off time
- Required references (PO, order, booking number)
- Instant or approved bookings
- Change and cancel from the confirmation

Arrivals logged at the gate, not on a notepad.
Driver check-in
Drivers check in from their phone with their reference, or the gate checks them in from the board. The arrival time is recorded and the appointment moves to “arrived” for everyone.
- Check-in by reference or by plate
- Arrival time and early / late recorded
- Walk-in trucks added in two taps

Trucks that arrive before their door is free join the queue. The dock lead sees the order and the waiting time, and calls the next truck in when a door clears.

Outbound loads staged and loaded against the plan.
Picking and loading
Each outbound appointment carries its load list. The team marks it picked and staged before the slot, then loaded pallet by pallet, so the carrier is not waiting on the floor.
- Picked, staged and loaded states
- Load list per appointment
- Staging lane noted on the load

What Ardelis does not do
Ardelis schedules and records what happens at your dock. It does not track trucks on the road, and it does not arrange or quote transport.
