Opendock Product Updates — February

February’s release focused on improving operational flexibility, expanding yard visibility, and continuing to strengthen platform performance and reliability.

Many of these improvements are part of our ongoing work to support more complex warehouse operations, particularly for customers managing high appointment volumes and active yard environments.

Here are the highlights:

More Flexibility for Unit Limits

We continued improving the Unit Limiter capabilities introduced earlier this year.

Warehouses use unit limits to control the amount of freight arriving or departing within a given timeframe. This helps facilities balance dock capacity, labor availability, and throughput.

This month we introduced improvements that make unit limits more flexible and accurate.

Carrier Updates to Appointment Units

We are introducing the ability for carriers to update unit quantities on appointments when warehouses allow it.

This helps operations teams handle common real-world scenarios where load quantities change after an appointment is scheduled, without requiring the warehouse team to cancel or reschedule the appointment.

More Accurate Unit Limit Calculations

We also fixed an issue affecting how appointment counts were calculated for unit limits. Recurring appointments are now properly included when calculating unit counts and limiter thresholds.

These improvements help ensure unit limits reflect the true operational capacity of a facility.

Expanded Visibility into Yard Driver Performance

We introduced new data points that help warehouses better understand yard driver productivity and idle time.

New metrics now available include:

• Total time between tasks

• Average time between tasks

• Maximum time between tasks

• Task utilization

These insights help yard operations identify bottlenecks, measure driver utilization, and improve dispatching decisions.

For warehouses running active yard operations, this provides a clearer picture of how efficiently yard drivers are moving equipment across the facility.

Performance and Platform Improvements

A major focus this month was continuing to improve platform performance and stability as customer usage grows.

Key improvements include:

• Faster and more reliable real-time updates for reservations and yard events

• Improvements to internal query infrastructure that support faster UI performance

• Upgrades to our testing and deployment pipelines to improve release stability

These updates help ensure Opendock remains fast and reliable even in high-volume facilities.

Reporting Accuracy Improvements

We resolved an issue affecting dock-level capacity reporting in Warehouse Insights.

Previously, reports relied on dock names when aggregating capacity data. In environments where multiple warehouses used the same dock labels, this could result in incorrect reporting joins.

Reports now use Dock IDs, ensuring dock capacity analytics remain accurate even in multi-warehouse environments.

Bug Fixes

This release also includes several bug fixes and reliability improvements across the platform, including:

• Fix for missing custom asset detail values in Yard Management views

• Improvements to audit logs to track who deleted entities

• Fixes to timestamp validation for custom fields

• Improvements to filter persistence across page loads

• Fix for asset departure events occasionally appearing incorrectly in the waiting list

These updates help improve day-to-day reliability across scheduling and yard workflows.
