How to choose a Opendock alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Start with your actual Opendock renewal and what it includes, such as hosted booking access, notifications, reports and exports. Then compare that bill with the records and services your operation needs in its own version. Opendock publishes no public tariff, so use your agreement rather than an assumed price.
- 2
Who owns your records
Check whether you can keep your appointment history and access a full export. With an owned version, your records sit in a database you own. Make sure you understand what history will come across, what remains incomplete and what access your team will have.
- 3
How well it fits your rules
List the fields, capacity rules, references and evidence checks your team relies on. Your own version can be built around the receiving rules you use, rather than asking your operation to fit a standard setup. Include any carrier access, notifications or connections you need in the scope.
- 4
What switching involves
Opendock documents appointment exports with selectable fields, so the export needs to be inspected and its fields mapped. Plan to bring selected history across, check record counts and times, and compare it with the live receiving plan before switching. Files, permissions and booking rules need separate agreement.
The option that fits
A version shaped around your operation
Enterprise DNA builds a dock appointment version around how your business receives, books and hands over loads. It brings selected Opendock appointment history across, maps the fields and checks records against the live receiving plan. Your records sit in a database you own. Enterprise DNA runs your version for one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. The free version is available if you prefer to run it yourself.
