Appointments are requested in one system, confirmed in another, and worked in a third. Without a live link, the door schedule is always slightly wrong. 01 - Portal lag ### Confirmations land in the portal hours late A carrier books in your shipper portal, but the confirmation reaches the yard system on the next sync. Drivers arrive to a door the yard never knew was claimed. LATENCY 02 - Double booking ### Two systems claim the same dock window When the TMS and yard management each hold their own calendar, both can assign door 12 at 10am. The clash only surfaces when two trucks show up at once. CONFLICT POLICY 03 - Stale availability ### Open slots that aren't actually open Portals advertise availability from a cached copy of the yard calendar. Carriers book slots that filled minutes ago, and check-in turns into a negotiation. DATA QUALITY PLATFORM ## Six products. One Platform. Replace many legacy vendors.

The concerns every yard and operations team raises before unifying dock appointments across portals. [Talk to a solutions architect](https://www.stacksync.com/book-a-demo) ### How do you prevent two systems double-booking a door? The yard calendar is the single source of truth and every booking writes back to it in real time with field-level conflict policy, so a slot held in one system is instantly closed in the others. ### How fast does a portal confirmation reach the yard? Sub-second when the portal supports webhooks, otherwise 1–60s on a poll. Carriers and the yard work off the same live schedule, not a cached copy. ### Do reschedules sync both directions? Yes. A change in the TMS, the portal, or yard management propagates to the other two in real time, so the appointment never diverges across systems. ### Can we model custom appointment and door rules? Yes. Custom appointment types, door and equipment constraints, and carrier-specific portal fields map without code and sync alongside standard fields. ## Stop double-booking your docks. One live schedule, every portal. [Book a demo](https://www.stacksync.com/book-a-demo) [Get started](https://app.stacksync.com/)
