The Global Dock Scheduling Software Market was valued at USD 5.8 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.2% to reach USD 18.1 billion by 2035.
The rising demand for operational efficiency is driving adoption, as minimizing the time trucks spend at docks is essential for reducing costs and turnaround times. Dock scheduling software enables companies to optimize door usage and arrange appointments, decreasing idle time and improving service levels for carriers handling high-volume shipments across retail, grocery, and e-commerce sectors. Labor shortages and rising hiring costs are compelling warehouses to allocate personnel more strategically. Scheduling software predicts staffing requirements based on expected shipment volumes and assigns employees to the busiest docks. Additionally, regulatory compliance and industry safety standards are supported, with the software tracking driver hours, reporting violations, and ensuring adherence to hours-of-service regulations while maintaining driver safety and operational efficiency.
The cloud-based segment held a 67% share in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.5% through 2035. Cloud deployment allows real-time carrier integration, mobile access, and lower upfront costs via the SaaS subscription model, while reducing IT management burdens.
The large enterprises segment held a 67% market share in 2025, driven by extensive warehouse networks, multiple dock doors, and complex multi-carrier operations. These enterprises leverage AI-supported optimization, multi-site visibility, and deep integration with WMS and TMS systems to maintain consistent processes across regional and national distribution centers.
U.S. Dock Scheduling Software Market generated USD 4.76 billion in 2025. Growth is fueled by tight trucking capacity, faster freight movement, and stricter regulatory scrutiny on detention times.
