For 3PL warehouses
One warehouse, many clients, each kept apart
For third-party logistics warehouses that store and ship stock for other businesses. Dockyd runs without an ERP, keeps each client's stock and orders separate, and lets clients see and send their own work.
Clients kept apart
Each client's items, stock, orders and deliveries belong to that client, and their item codes can clash with another client's without a problem.
Clients serve themselves
Clients log in to see their own stock and orders, and send orders and expected deliveries on screen or through the API.
No ERP needed
Dockyd is the whole system. Your team runs the same receiving, picking, packing and counting screens as any Dockyd warehouse.
Clients
Each business you store stock for is set up as a client under Setup. Items belong to a client, and item codes only need to be unique within that client, so two clients can both have an item called ABC1. Stock and orders are always tied to their client.
Client logins
Each client can have their own logins. A client user only ever sees their own business:
- their orders and how far each has got;
- their deliveries;
- their stock, with the bins it is in.
Client logins only reach the client screens, never your warehouse screens or another client's data.
Client orders
Clients can add orders on screen or send them through the API, with the delivery address, delivery instructions and requested delivery date. They keep their own order number, and the order is shown with the client's prefix in the warehouse.
- Clients can change or cancel an order until the warehouse starts work on it.
- Clients can never change an order's status. Only the warehouse moves an order on.
Expected deliveries
Clients tell you what stock is coming in, on screen or through the API, with the expected date. Your receivers book it in on the gun against that delivery, the same way as a purchase order, and the client sees when it was booked in.
The API
Each client can have its own API key, so their web shop or system can send orders and expected deliveries and read back items, stock and order progress without anyone typing. The REST API covers orders, deliveries, products and stock, and the documentation is on your own Dockyd site, at yourcompany.dockyd.com/api-docs.
In the warehouse
Your team works exactly as in any Dockyd warehouse: receiving and put away, allocation and waves, picking on Zebra handhelds, packing, counts and approvals. See how Dockyd works for each process.
A record of everything
Every change is written to the audit log with who did it and when: what was received, moved, picked, adjusted and counted, and every order change made by a client or your team. When a client asks what happened to their stock, the answer is there.
Billing Planned
Billing per client, for storage and the work done for them, is planned and not yet available.
