01 Rules
Book
Carrier requests a slot through Flow Dock Partners.
How Flodock moves a visit
From request submitted to truck departed, without losing the thread.
The carrier sees a simple appointment flow. The yard keeps the full command record: booking rules, gate facts, yard assignment, freight data, and status history.
02 Policy
Decide
Yard rules auto-confirm or send the request to staff review.
03 Capture
Gate
Guard captures the visit, lane, trailer, driver, and freight details.
04 Map
Place
Teams assign dock doors, zones, or spots while the yard map stays live.
05 Signal
Close
Gate-out records actual departure and updates the partner timeline.
Carrier view
Book once. Follow the full story.
After booking a slot, partners can see whether the yard accepted the request, when the truck actually arrived, when it left, and whether something went wrong.
Yard view
Operate from the same visit record.
Gate and yard staff update the appointment row as work happens. Flodock keeps status, time stamps, assignments, freight lines, and alerts tied to that single record.
Signal Quality
No more guessing where the truck is in the process.
Each status change has context: who requested it, what was accepted, what the gate saw, where the trailer belongs, and what the partner should know next.
