DataDocks

Pros: What a fantastic value for the price we pay, I cannot that I've tested any other warehouse software but DataDocks has definitely saved us time and money.

Cons: Our warehouse team is pretty old school and they haven't used a lot of software, so getting them used to it was a challenge but it had nothing to do with DataDocks.

Pros: The Carrier Portal solved our constant back-and-forth. Approved carriers book their own slots in under a minute, upload paperwork, and we keep control with capacity and cutoff rules. The notifications and rule enforcement reduced missed appointments, and our team is no longer juggling everything!

Cons: Nothing bad to mention! Anything extra that we needed, DataDocks worked with us to get it figured out super quickly.

Pros: It was completely customizable to however we wanted it set up. We gave DD a shot vs. a spreadsheet that we used. They were able to get this set up exactly like our spreadsheet was set up. Also, love the fact that carriers/brokers can go in and schedule their own inbounds and outbounds.

Cons: I can't think of anything that I like the least. This was "change" in our building and there are going to be some one offs with any type of change. It's all in how you can adapt and overcome that change. I guess if I had to say there's one con, it would be the text message feature. We would really like to be able to use this feature, however, the pricing is a little high to justify using it.

Pros: We have been using DataDocks for over a year now and the ease of use is the main point for our glowing review. It is easy to use and navigate and the changes and updates are getting the program on par with the big contenders.

Cons: There are very few things that I do not like about DataDocks but if I am forced to make a complaint, I would say the system should have a dark mode. It would also be nice to have a small pop up screen and not the panel of the left. That could be an option that you could toggle on and off.

Pros: Customer support & service has been nothing short of amazing! Expanded visibility for all customers, carriers, internal users to track and manage shipments/appointments. Driver messaging has been a huge time saver for our warehouse.

Cons: I've personally struggled learning some of the systems features and am still not utilizing DataDocks to its full potential. We'll get there.

Pros: The Data Docks team goes above and beyond answering questions, listening and acting on recommendations. The site is easy to use and has taken a manual process away to increase our departments efficiency.

Cons: Initially there were consistent customer use issues, however Data Docks put attention to those aspects and improved the experience.

Pros: The simplicity of the system and the ability that it gives our customer service team to be able to rely on the carriers to make their own appointments. This gives us back our labor and time spent drastically on manual scheduling.

Cons: Allowing carriers to book for Mondays on Fridays because it is 2 days out but not focusing on business days only.

Pros: How easy it is to create a booking and adjust the bookings due to changes in customer requirements. It is a very easy program to navigate, not only for our company but for our clients as well.

Cons: Not being able to input reoccuring appointments/Meeting for example. Everything else is perfect for us!

Pros: I love how user friendly it is. You can really cater it to your companies needs. The onboarding process could use work but once it is set up it works great.

Cons: I don't like the sub window. I prefer to click an appointment and see the full window. Also the ability to Merge appointments.

Pros: DataDocks has significantly improved how our company manages dock appointments and communicates with carriers. Our team on the floor values the platform's accessibility.

Cons: Multiple URL domains for each of our locations has caused some headaches with our team. The current reporting dashboard lacks customization.

Pros: Data Docks is super user-friendly — it’s easy to navigate, simple to understand, and makes the whole process a breeze.

Cons: The only thing I wasn’t too keen on is that we can’t remove the Outbound options — since we only use Data Docks for Inbounds, it would be great if those didn’t show up, especially in the reports. Some of the recent updates also don’t really apply to how we use the platform, but I get that Data Docks supports a wide range of users, and those changes might be more helpful for others.

Pros: How fast [sensitive content hidden] make adjustments to help with all our needs. They're always available to hop on a call or a meeting. Definitely treat everyone with respect and professionalism. These two are a class act and make any transition an easy task.

Cons: I guess that I have to refresh sometimes because it doesn't always do it by itself. Other than that, I have no other further complaints.

Pros: Simplicity, User-Friendliness, ease-of-use, Service Availability, and Technical support availability.

Cons: None so far. But, i'm wondering if the system is capable of integrating with Enterprise Resource Planning System,

Pros: The simplicity of using the program, the reporting it offers, and the ability to customize many different things.

Cons: I haven't found any yet and we have been using this program for well over a year. Any changes i needed made they were done promptly by the team

Pros: We work out of several facilities, and until we implemented DataDocks, each of them relied on a different scheduling system. This provided us with some standardization, and it allowed all of the pertinent team members to have visibility to the information they need easily which has improved efficiency in multiple departments.

Cons: There really isn't too much to dislike. The only thing that really comes to mind is the packages to choose from. I would have preferred to be able to customize what we were paying rather than having to pay for features we aren't using, but all of the benefits outweigh this one critique.

Pros: DataDocks has been a great tool for our company as we looked to streamline our receiving/shipping scheduling. The software itself is straightforward and very easy to use. In addition, we have been able to customize it in a way that fits our needs.

Cons: With the implementation of any software within a company there are questions and issues that you must work through. However, overall, we were able to work through those questions with ease and the support team was very helpful in discussing ways to best suite the software to meet our needs.

Pros: DataDocks has provided excellent service from the very first phone call. The automation features that we using will literally save our company hundreds of labor hours each year. Very pleased with the teams professionalism and delivery of the service.

Cons: It can be tricky navigate some of the setup if you are unfamiliar with the software. Fortunately the service team has been excellent to assist.

Pros: We primarily bought the software to ease schedule bottlenecking which it has done. There were unforeseen benefits, the most significant is the time savings from no longer needing to schedule appointments via text, email, and phone.

Cons: Not much, they have been very responsive when we find bugs and when we suggest improvements. One thing we struggled with is getting the schedule to be readable on a TV monitor, we got there eventually.

Pros: DataDocks has made it so much easier to manage our dock and yard traffic. The interface is clean and intuitive, and our team picked it up quickly. We love that carriers can book their own slots online which has cut down on calls and emails. The live view of who’s checked in where they are... and what’s scheduled for each dock has made a big difference in our daily flow. Support is responsive and actually listens to feedback.

Cons: The reporting tools are useful but could use a few more customization options, which are in the works. Would also love to see deeper integrations off the shelf with some of the larger TMS systems out there, though we’ve managed fine without it so far.
