A dock door just went down

Door 4 just went down, with six trucks due before 3pm.

Dock · DC-02

Working
12:40:00Door 4 marked down until 3pm. 6 appointments affected.
12:40:06Found compatible doors with open capacity for 5 of them.
12:40:20Move plan sent to the scheduler, and approved.
12:41:055 appointments moved. Each carrier notified of its new door.
12:41:30No compatible door left for the 6th. Sent to the scheduler with 3 open slots tomorrow.

What just happened

A dock door went down in the middle of the day. Loadsmart AI found compatible doors for five of the six trucks due there, moved them once the scheduler approved the plan, told each carrier, and gave the scheduler three slots to offer the one it couldn’t place.

Dock Agent

You decide how much it does on its own.

Each automation runs at the level you set: notify only, propose and wait for approval, or act. Briefings and reminders can go out on their own, while no-shows, moves and confirmations wait for a scheduler’s approval until you’re ready to let them run.

What the agent does

Runs the dock schedule all day, from the morning briefing to the last door.

01

Briefs the day

Sends a dock plan before the first shift, with overbooked hours and appointments missing details flagged.

02

Confirms and reminds

Confirms requested appointments that pass your rules, and reminds carriers before arrival, including any missing reference numbers.

03

Handles late arrivals and no-shows

Moves a late truck to the next valid slot, and marks a no-show once the facility’s late threshold passes, freeing the door and offering the carrier new slots.

04

Rebalances when a door goes down

Moves every affected appointment to compatible doors in one plan, and reports any it couldn’t place.

What changes

What your team stops doing. And what that’s worth.

Doors stay in use

A door freed by a no-show or a closure goes back on the schedule while there is still time to fill it.

The shift starts ahead

Schedulers know the day’s problem hours before the first truck arrives.

Carriers arrive ready

Reminders collect missing reference numbers before the truck reaches the gate.

Runs on your stack

Nothing to rip out. Nothing to migrate.

Your existing systems stay your system of record. Loadsmart becomes your system of action — the work runs on the Loadsmart Platform and the outcome is written back where your team already looks for it.

The rest of the lineup

Ten more agents running the same way.

Loadsmart AI is eleven specialized agents working the freight lifecycle end to end. If none of the eleven match what is slowing your team down, describe the task and Loadsmart will build the agent to run it.

Bring the workflow that bothers you most.
