Queues and downtime
Without arrival slots, trucks overlap, the yard collapses, and your team wastes hours coordinating loudly and over the phone.
Appointments and docks · Food Defense
Every truck that enters and leaves, with an appointment and with its test
Carriers book a slot from a link, each arrival is checked against the schedule, and every seal is recorded with its video. This provides the inbound and outbound traceability required by IFS Food v8 and BRCGS Issue 9, whether your loading point is a dock, a yard or a single door.
The problem
The entry and exit of trucks brings together your two biggest problems
The trucks arrive when they want, the facility collapses and an unidentified driver waits next to the finished product. It doesn't matter if you unload at a dock, a field or a gate: the queues and the risk arise from the same thing, you don't control who enters, when or what they bring.
The most vulnerable point, unwatched
The loading area is where the product enters and leaves. An unverified driver, an unchecked seal or an unscheduled delivery is just what a food defense auditor looks for.
Zero traceability of reception
Who received the 6:00 truck? Was the seal checked? Did it match the delivery note? Without registration, there is no answer — and there is no proof.
The platform
From the transportation reservation to the report you deliver to the auditor
A single platform covers all three phases of each input and output: plan, verify and demonstrate.
Each transport arrives with its assigned time
Carriers reserve their slot from a link, without calls or app. You approve or reschedule, and the venue stops collapsing.

Compliance
Controlling entry and exit is food defense, not just logistics
The reception and dispatch of goods is one of the points that food safety regulations monitor in more detail. SentyHub generates and stores the evidence that an auditor will request about your inputs and outputs.

Transversal to all audit

“If it's not written, it hasn't happened”: verifiable evidence of every entry and exit.

Efficiency and ROI
Less queues also means less costs
Dock Check doesn't just prepare you for the audit, it saves you money every day. When each truck arrives on time, the yard doesn't collapse, your team doesn't miss a shift coordinating arrivals, and carriers don't bill for waits.
Less waiting time
Balanced strips that prevent five trucks from arriving at the same time.
Less manual coordination
Your team stops managing the yard by phone and walkie.
Fewer billable delays
Haulers come and go at your window, with no waiting to pay.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about dock management in the food industry
-
Yes. Controlling access to reception, prior notification of deliveries, checking against a delivery schedule and verifying seals are food defense measures included in IFS Food v8 (clause 4.21) and in the official guides. A traceable appointment and docking system is the evidence that the auditor checks.
