Case Study: Solmax improves dock scheduling efficiency with Opendock and Redwood Logistics

Global Geosynthetics Leader Improves Dock Efficiency Through Opendock + MercuryGate Integration

A major enterprise in the sustainable construction solutions sector, later identified as Solmax, faced significant inefficiency in its dock operations. Its use of a disorganized, first-come, first-served scheduling process via phone and email created delays and a critical need for a modern dock scheduling solution that could integrate directly with its MercuryGate TMS. Redwood Logistics was engaged as the technology partner to address this challenge with an integration for Opendock.

Redwood Logistics implemented a seamless integration between the Opendock scheduling software and the MercuryGate TMS, completing the project in just two weeks with minimal effort from the customer. This solution automated data flow, centralized operations onto a single platform, and provided valuable carrier performance insights. The results for Solmax included dramatically more efficient dock scheduling, reduced carrier wait times, and streamlined operations that eliminated the need for double data entry and switching between systems.
