DOCK MANAGEMENT - Dolibarr
1. Product Overview Dock Management transforms Dolibarr ERP/CRM into a full-featured logistics and dock-operations platform. It gives warehouses, cross-docking platforms, distribut ion centres and 3PL operators a single, real-time environment to plan, execute, control and analyse every inbound and outbound flow across their loading and unloading bays — without any external specialised software. Built entirely on native Dolibarr standards (CommonObject data model, rights framework, menu system, multi-company and multi-warehouse support, REST API and document engine), the module integrates seamlessly with Third parties, Products, Stocks, Purchase and Sales orders, Receptions, Shipments, Projects and the Agenda, while adding twenty-two dedicated business objects and a modern, colour-coded operational cockpit. Key benefits · One control tower for the entire dock and logistics operation — inbound, sorting, consolidation, cross-docking and outbound. · Real-time KPIs: dock occupancy, truck punctuality, average waiting / loading / unloading times, SLA compliance, OTIF and flow fluidity index. · Full traceability from carrier appointment to final shipment, with handling units (pallets, cases, SSCC, lots and serials). · Native Dolibarr integration — no data duplication, no external connector required. · Five languages out of the box (French, English, Spanish, Italian, German) using native Dolibarr language files. · One-click demonstration dataset to evaluate every screen, report and workflow instantly. 2. Dock Management Control Tower (Dashboard) The home dashboard is a purpose-built operational cockpit — deliberately different from Dolibarr's standard dashboards — using a navy / light-blue / logistics-orange / anthracite charter with interactive cards, gauges and live charts. Flow control strip · Inbound vehicles: expected arrivals today, trucks approaching, trucks waiting, trucks at dock. · Reception & control: units received, controls in progress, reception conformity rate. · Sorting & consolidation: units to sort, sorted, consolidated, incomplete consolidations. · Loading: units ready to ship, loadings in progress, blocked units. · Outbound vehicles: shipments departed, planned and late. Service-level KPIs · Direct transfer (cross-dock) rate, on-time departure rate, reception conformity, sort error rate and SLA compliance. · Dock occupancy rate, average truck waiting time, average dwell / turnaround time. · Units received, sorted, consolidated, ready, blocked, in quarantine; uncovered orders and critical anomalies. Analytics & alerts · Live charts: arrivals and departures by hour, receptions by status, sorting missions by status, cross-docking by type, anomalies by severity, unit funnel by stage and shipments by status. · Operational alert widgets with direct drill-down: trucks approaching / waiting, free vs saturated docks, urgent sorting, incomplete consolidations, blocked units, late loadings, SLAs at risk and transport incidents. 3. Platforms, Docks & Zones Model the physical topology of every logistics site: platforms/buildings, loading and unloading docks, and internal zones (receiving, sorting, consolidation, transit, quarantine, dispatch). · Docks with type (inbound / outbound / mixed), real-time status (free, occupied, reserved, maintenance, blocked), capacity and live occupancy rate. · Zones with type, capacity and occupancy, mapped to platforms. · Operational map view of the whole site for at-a-glance supervision. · Full history of dock usage and maintenance windows. 4. Carriers, Vehicles & Appointments Manage the transport ecosystem and the dock-slot booking process end-to-end. · Carrier records with contracts, tariffs, rating, performance and history. · Vehicles and trailers with type, dimensions, weight and carrier assignment. · Carrier appointment scheduling with dock slots, direction, goods type, expected pallets, priority and status (confirmed, approaching, arrived, at dock, waiting, late, departed, done). · Automatic capture of arrival / departure times, waiting minutes and delay minutes for punctuality and OTIF analytics. 5. Inbound Flows & ASN Anticipate arrivals with Advance Shipping Notices and prepare receiving operations before the truck reaches the gate. · ASN headers and lines with expected products, quantities, lots, serials and weights. · Link to Dolibarr suppliers and purchase orders. · Expected-vs-received reconciliation feeding the reception conformity KPI. 6. Receptions & Quality Control Control incoming goods at the dock with structured quality checks and non-conformity capture. · Receptions with status (announced, unloading, control in progress, closed), controlled and received quantities. · Quality controls with conform / non-conform result and defect counts. · Photo and document attachments via the native Dolibarr document engine (ECM/GED). 7. Handling Units & Movements Track every physical unit through the platform with full upstream/downstream traceability. · Handling units (pallets, cases, SSCC, lots, serials) with weight, volume, status and cross-docking type. · Unit status funnel: received, to sort, sorting, sorted, consolidating, consolidated, ready, loaded, shipped. · Stock movements between zones and docks with direction, quantity and timestamp. 8. Sorting Plans, Missions & Allocation Engine Drive the cross-docking core with sorting rules and an FIFO/FEFO allocation engine. · Sorting plans and sorting missions with acceptance, assignment, control and completion status. · Allocation engine supporting pre-allocated, opportunistic, consolidation, distribution, manufacturing and return strategies (FIFO / FEFO). · Reallocation and coverage tracking for uncovered demand. 9. Consolidation, Outbound, Tours, Loadings & Shipments Consolidate multi-supplier flows and orchestrate departures with pre-departure controls and transport follow-up. · Multi-supplier consolidation with completeness tracking. · Outbound flows and delivery tours with planned departure windows. · Loading orders with pre-departure controls, signatures and photos. · Shipments with carrier, planned/actual departure, tracking and status (prepared, in transit, delivered, incident, late). 10. Anomalies, Non-Conformities & Penalties Capture, classify and resolve operational incidents and apply carrier penalties. · Anomalies with type and severity (information, low, medium, high, critical) and resolution tracking. · Non-conformity handling with corrective actions. · Delay and immobilisation penalties feeding logistics-cost analytics. 11. SLA, 3PL Billing & Reporting Suite Measure service levels and monetise logistics services with a decisional reporting centre. · SLA definitions and monitoring by indicator and scope, with automatic status. · 3PL / logistics-service billing of storage, loading, unloading, penalties and value-added services. · Eighteen built-in reports: arrivals, waiting, dock use, receptions, gaps, sorting, sort errors, consolidation, allocation, coverage, direct transfer, departures, on-time, volumes by supplier and customer, anomalies, SLA and billing. · CSV export and print for every report; entity-safe, accent-correct output. 12. Integration, Security & Administration · Native links to Third parties, Products, Stocks, Purchase & Sales orders, Receptions, Shipments, Projects, Agenda and the document engine. · REST API for external systems and mobile terminals. · Granular rights across 13 functional groups (platform, transport, appointment, inbound, reception, unit, sorting, allocation, consolidation, outbound, loading, quality, SLA) plus reporting and administration — read / write / delete per group. · Multi-company and multi-warehouse aware; per-request language override. · Configuration page with general parameters, numbering, statuses and workflow options. · Two administration buttons: install a complete demonstration dataset, and remove it safely without touching real data. 13.
