Automated Opendock Door Conflict Detection
Every morning, WebRun opens Opendock and scans today's appointment schedule for overlapping time slots on the same dock door, identifies each conflict with the carriers and times involved, and posts a door conflict watchlist to Slack so your scheduling team can resolve the clashes before trucks start arriving.
How do I automatically detect double-booked dock doors before my shift starts?
WebRun opens Opendock every morning and scans today's appointment schedule for any two appointments that overlap on the same dock door. It posts a door conflict watchlist to Slack grouped by door, showing both carriers and their overlapping times, so your scheduling team can resolve every clash before the first truck arrives.
- Double-booked doors are caught before the first truck arrives, not after a backup forms
- Scheduling team gets a prioritized conflict list grouped by door and urgency
- Rescheduling decisions stay with humans who can weigh carrier relationships
Built for dock schedulers · warehouse managers · receiving coordinators · logistics supervisors

Questions, answered
Will it automatically reschedule conflicting appointments?
No. WebRun surfaces the conflicts in Slack for your team to resolve manually. Rescheduling is a human decision because it involves carrier communication and door availability choices.
What counts as an overlap?
By default, WebRun flags any two appointments on the same door whose time windows intersect. You can adjust the buffer threshold when you configure the workflow.
Does it check both inbound and outbound appointments for the same door?
Yes. WebRun treats any appointment type on the same door as a potential conflict and flags them regardless of whether they are inbound, outbound, or mixed.
