DockCountCreate your account

Know what actually came off the truck.

Photograph the packing slip. DockCount checks it against the purchase order, flags whatever is short or damaged, and puts the record in front of purchasing before the driver has pulled away.

Free covers one person, one dock and 25 deliveries a month, with no card. Add your first PO and receive against it in the same afternoon.

Four steps at the bay, and the paperwork is done.

A flat illustration of a receiver at a workbench holding up a phone to photograph the packing slip taped to a carton, with stacked pallets and a roller shutter door behind him.
The whole of the input: one photograph, taken where the pallet is standing.

Photograph the slip at the bay

The receiver opens the camera from their phone and shoots the packing slip where the pallet is standing. A picture that a person can read is a picture DockCount can read.

The lines come back matched

Vendor, PO number, part numbers and quantities are pulled off the slip and lined up against the order already on file. Where a part number is written differently on the slip than in your system, it still finds it.

The receiver corrects and signs off

Every quantity is editable, because the pallet is what counts and the paperwork is only a claim. Short two, one crushed carton, four that nobody ordered: mark it, photograph the damage, confirm.

Purchasing gets told

The record goes into a log you can search by vendor, PO or date, and a summary lands in purchasing's inbox with the shortfall itemised. No one retypes anything into a spreadsheet.

The gap is the whole point.

Anyone can log a delivery. What costs money is the delivery that was logged as fine and was five units light, discovered in November against an invoice from August.

So every line carries its own measure: the filled part arrived, the gap did not. Short, over, damaged and not-on-the-PO each read differently at a glance, and each one says so in words as well, because half the people reading this are looking at a phone in daylight.

  • Partial deliveries keep their PO open, and the next truck picks up where this one stopped.
  • Damage photos attach to the line they evidence, and travel with the record into purchasing's inbox.
  • The receiver's name and the timestamp are on the record, so nobody reconstructs it from memory.

Built for a receiving dock, not a mail room.

Most software with a camera and a delivery in it was written for an office signing for couriered envelopes. Different job. A machine shop taking in 400 units of bar stock against an order placed six weeks ago needs the order in the picture, and that is the part those tools do not have.

Who this is for

  • Small manufacturers taking in parts and raw stock
  • Distributors receiving against open purchase orders
  • Anyone whose receiving log is currently a spreadsheet

What it deliberately leaves alone

  • Stock forecasting and reorder points
  • Picking, packing and outbound labels
  • Moving inventory between warehouses
  • Scanner hardware and barcode rollouts
