Vendor self-service requests
Vendors select an available window through your plant invite link and submit it for approval — no portal login or training video.

Built for manufacturing receiving operations

Core features
The essential workflow for inbound appointments and arrivals.
PO number, lines & material visibility
Requests capture purchase order number, line, material, quantity, and truck details so receiving knows what’s coming before the gate.
Smart availability
Open slots respect plant-local day, material type, and time — so vendors only see windows your yard can take.
Location & material instructions
Plant PPE at request time; post-arrival guidance follows the material and receiving area — each can carry its own playbook.
Automatic notifications
Vendors and plant managers get emails on submit, approve, changes, cancel, and arrival — without chasing inboxes by hand.
Role-based multi-plant access
Managers, security, and viewers see what their job needs — plant-scoped, with optional company HQ roles for multi-site oversight.
Outcomes
Less chaos at the fence. More predictable receiving.
Fewer detention disputes
Agreed arrival windows replace “we’ll get there sometime today” — less idle time at the fence.
Detention visibility
Optional detention tracking and review give managers a clear record when free time runs out.
Fewer double-booked windows
Capacity-aware scheduling keeps forklifts and cranes from fighting the same hour.
Faster gate decisions
Security finds the appointment, destination, and post-arrival guidance without calling the office.
One system of record
Requests, approvals, and arrivals stay in Dockvera — not a shared spreadsheet and a chain of emails.
