DataDocks, the leading dock scheduling platform for warehouses and logistics managers, is excited to announce the launch of its three new features: “Appointment Limits”, “Product Limits” and “Triggers”.
All three features have been designed to streamline operations, reduce costs and improve overall supply chain efficiency.
Appointment limits allow users to establish rules on the number of appointments that they can accept within a specified time frame. This feature is useful for managing appointments during holidays or weekends, or for controlling the number of appointments from specific customers or carriers.
Appointment Limits can be customized based on:
● Date
● Time
● Appointment Direction (inbound or outbound)
● Companies
● Products
With Appointment Limits, company’s can efficiently manage their appointment flow—whether by day, company, or load type—ensuring a smooth and organized operation.
“We are so pleased with the new Appointment Limits feature”, says Nick Rakovsky, Founder of DataDocks. “It simplifies scheduling so that the user has full control over how and when their facility receives appointments, which is a real game changer when staying on top of a busy schedule.”
Product Limits
Product Limit allows businesses to set specific restrictions on products to prevent overbooking and ensure efficient inventory management.
Why use Product Limits?
● Enhanced control over inventory: Set and enforce limits to effectively manage product availability and prevent overstock or shortages.
● Improved operational efficiency: Streamline the booking process with clear guidelines on product limits, reducing errors.
● Flexibility: Customize limits based on product categories, companies, and appointment types to meet specific operational needs.
● Real-time management: The system automatically adjusts available time slots as limits are reached, keeping operations running smoothly.
Triggers
The Triggers feature is a crucial tool for automating repetitive tasks in DataDocks, streamlining operations and reducing manual workload.
Key features of Triggers:
• Automated tags: Automatically adds or removes tags based on specific events.
• Custom notifications: Sends automated notifications to internal teams, customers, or carriers.
• Appointment status changes: Automatically updates appointment statuses.
• Reusable purchase orders: Marks POs as reusable for exceptions.
• Shunt movements: Creates new shunt movements for trailers.
The recent introduction of Appointment Limits, Product Limits, and Triggers demonstrates DataDocks' ongoing commitment to empowering logistics leaders with cutting-edge tools.
With DataDocks, businesses can optimize their operations, improve efficiency, and gain a competitive edge in today's fast-paced supply chain environment.
“We are committed to help others streamline their supply chain, which is why we are so happy to have rolled out these three new features that have the power to improve efficiency and reduce costs for our client,” concludes Nick.
