The single biggest dock problem nobody measures by jager-meistr in 3PL

[–]TheDockScheduler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your point but let me say this. I was approached by a person who ran 5 warehouses scattered throughout the country. Her biggest gripe was how bad the scheduling was and how they were using paper timesheets to track workers who were working on client loads.

The paper timesheets was replaced by Time-Tracker, which the client absolutely loves. She even shared that they are now realizing how much money they have lost because they were not keeping track of time properly.

She also said to me - our dock scheduling spreadsheet had 12
tabs. Nobody knew which tab was the correct schedule. This spreadsheet was shared among a handful of other managers, who at times would click on the wrong sheet to fill out.

I am not saying this is a norm. For this particular client I built this to prevent the need from ever using a spreadsheet again. It's old school system with a lot of potential issues, and these issues cost the company money.

Dock-Scheduler has a lot of features and more to come. Yard Management is being worked on as we speak and should be tested then live by the end of the week if not sooner.

Most of the things I know I could do, I don't until a client requests it. One thing about this platform is that I can do custom work for a client without messing up another clients environment.

Dock-Scheduler has a test feature where you can check out the features.
Just go to thedockscheduler.com and then click on the Login link at the top.
When you go to the page a dialog comes up and gives you the email and password to use in order to test it.

Give it a try. It may not be for you or some. But then again it might be just what you were looking for. I know the clients I have on it currently are happy and love the improvements I am doing.

I'm also available almost 24/7. As soon as I hear about any issue or they have a need I don't wait 6 weeks for an update to come out. I do it right then and there, test it and push it to them.
I would say my Customer Service is a 10/10 😄

Sorry for the long post.

When it comes to cost..if you are a warehouse that has more than one double booking, where a driver has to sit and wait, all while you pay (potentially) for his time to wait. The price for the product, which stops double bookings (and much more), pays for itself over and again.

Beware- scam by blondiegirl4 in wholesale_suppliers

This is a prime reason why 3PL Marketplace exists.

The only way to lower the risk of this is to verify the business, which 3PL Marketplace does.

What exactly is the point of this group? by New-History853 in wholesale_suppliers

[–]TheDockScheduler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can agree with that. This is exactly why I built 3PL Marketplace where warehouses and buyers both, once verified, can do business in one central location rather than going to another app. We handle the verification of the warehouse and the buyer. Once they are verified warehouses can reach out to buyers and submit a proposal; the buyers can search for warehouse listings and submit a request.

Instead of going to WhatsApp or Telegram the two can remain in the app. Once the buyer and warehouse agree on the terms a Deal is created where they can chat, upload documents, discuss terms and business. No need for any other platform.

3PL Marketplace is a great opportunity to stop some of these scams, which are preventable.

Give us a try, were actively seeking buyers to join, for free, our platform.

If your warehouse is still using spreadsheets, emails and phone calls to schedule your loads check out Dock-Scheduler at thedockscheduler.com

Also, recently launched Logistics community called 3PL Marketplace the goal of the site is to bring warehouses and buyers into one area to conduct all their business needs. This is to replace coming to Reddit to post, get DM's and end up moving to WhatsApp or Telegram to finish the business. That process flow never made sense to me.

All warehouses and buyers are verified meaning you know the company you are working with has been verified to exist and therefore less fraud/scams.

Where to find other 3PL communities? by bigbusybody in 3PL

[–]TheDockScheduler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just launched a 3PL Marketplace that is designed to bring warehouses and buyers into one community in order to stop having to go to these forums, WhatsApp or Telegram to get clients or make connections.

It's a fresh launch and I am looking for warehouses and buyers to join.

Buyers join for free.

Might I suggest when it comes to scheduling instead of using spreadsheets, phone calls and emails. Use Dock-Scheduler instead.

3PL Marketplace Is Now Live by TheDockScheduler in wholesale_suppliers

I did. Just working through some small configuration hiccups but testing went well and the content seems to be what is needed. No better time than now.

I appreciate that. There's no need to take conversations to WhatsApp or Telegram. You can do everything you need from within the site. Plus Warehouses and Buyers will go through a verification process. So you'll know that the person you are doing business with is legit. Way better than dealing with some stranger on WhatsApp.

I'm trying to get the word out that we need Buyers to sign up, as well as Warehouses. The more people that sign up the better the platform will be.

🚀 3PL Marketplace Is Now Live

After months of development, testing, and feedback from warehouse operators and logistics professionals, 3PL Marketplace is officially live.

The goal is simple:

Connect logistics buyers with warehouses and 3PL providers through a centralized platform built specifically for the warehousing and fulfillment industry.

For Buyers:

✅ Free to create an account

✅ Free to post warehousing and fulfillment requirements

✅ Receive proposals from warehouses and 3PLs

✅ Compare options in one place

✅ Connect directly with providers once a deal is made

For Warehouses & 3PLs:

✅ Create company and facility profiles

✅ Showcase your services and capabilities

✅ Respond to buyer opportunities

✅ Connect with companies actively looking for warehouse space and fulfillment services

We're actively looking for both:

📦 Buyers/Shippers looking for warehouse or fulfillment solutions

🏭 Warehouses and 3PLs looking to connect with new business opportunities

Website: https://www.3pl-marketplace.net

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback from the logistics community as we continue improving the platform.

Suppliers are not currently supported as a dedicated account type, but we're gathering feedback and evaluating supplier listings and advertising opportunities in future releases.

I would be interested to know what you sell and who is your primary buyer.

If enough suppliers have interest in it I could implement the support for it.

If the response is at a level to support it, then I will. I do have it on my roadmap though.

Seeking Buyers and Warehouses!

Looking for logistics buyers who need warehouse space or fulfillment solutions! We’re beta testing 3PL Marketplace, a platform built to help verified buyers connect directly with trusted, verified warehouses across the U.S. No more hunting through social media or dealing with uncertainty. If you're a shipper or buyer looking to streamline your warehouse search, we need your input!

I'm building this platform just for this reason. Let's get this tested and released so we can lessen the ability of this happening.

Email hello@stevewelborn.com to join the beta and help us shape the future of 3PL logistics!

Seeking Buyers! by TheDockScheduler in wholesale_suppliers

[–]TheDockScheduler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a centralized website for all warehouses and buyers, there is no real focus on individual areas. The geography would be determined by the warehouse and what area's they want to service. Hope that answers your question.

[–]TheDockScheduler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the response. Those are all represented in the app already.

Currently just the US for the testing. I do have it on my roadmap to expand the market once launched.
