Dockhand

The problem

Lorry drivers wait an average of three hours at warehouses because loading slots are arranged by phone and nobody knows who arrives when.

The solution

Dockhand gives warehouses a live booking calendar; drivers reserve a slot from their phone and gates open on arrival.

Warehouses and distribution centres with 5–60 loading bays.
