Opendock

Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)

Opendock is a digital dock scheduling solution for warehouses/facilities that delivers full visibility into a warehouse’s daily/weekly/monthly schedule, including which carrier is coming in, when they are coming in, and the load type they have. Warehouses are able to digitally publish their schedules online so carriers can book their own appointments. Users are also able to track in/out times for each truck/appointment, and this data is automatically calculated and logged into a carrier scorecard. From the appointment setting features, Opendock can also calculate the percentages for on-time, late, cancel, no-show, and reschedule in addition to average cancel lead time metrics.

The November Key Freight & Economic Indicators report is out! Here’s a breakdown of what we’re watching: FTL Market 🚚 🔸 Spot Rates - 1. We’re seeing a ~1% decline from October to the end of November. 2. Then we expect a reversal in December, with spot forecasted to rise 6% MoM due to seasonal holiday demand. 3. Rates are projected to stabilize after December, with no significant demand catalysts anticipated until mid-2025. 🔸 Weather - The National Weather Service forecasts increased snowstorm activity this winter, especially in the Pacific Northwest and Great Lakes. 🔸 Port Strikes - The ILA has postponed its strike until January 15. East Coast ports are specifically at risk in early 2025. Macroeconomic Indicators to Watch 👀 🔸 Manufacturing Sector - The ISM Manufacturing PMI hit 46.5% in October which marking its lowest level in 20 years—a sign of contraction in U.S. manufacturing. The new orders index rose slightly but remains in contraction. This reflects cautious inventory commitments due to inflationary concerns. 🔸 Industry Performance: Only a few industries within manufacturing saw growth in new orders: Apparel, Leather & Allied, Food, Beverage & Tobacco, and Computer & Electronic. Full report linked in the comments ⤵️
