Auto-plan warehouse labor in minutes, not hours. DockPlanIQ distributes headcount by path, tracks WIP flow, flags flex opportunities, and generates leadership-ready variance reports.
Excel sheets, tribal knowledge, and manual UPH calculations. Enterprise WFM costs $50K+ and takes 6 months to implement. Everything in between is a spreadsheet someone named Dave maintains.
Forecast is in one system, headcount in another, UPH benchmarks in your head. You rebuild the same plan every morning in Excel and it takes 45 minutes before you've even started the shift.
Pick is burning through WIP faster than Stow can feed it, but you won't know until 2pm when the buffer runs dry. By then you're scrambling to flex bodies upstream with no plan.
Your director asks why you went over plan by 12 associates yesterday. You dig through WhatsApp messages and handwritten notes trying to remember what happened. There's no record.
DockPlanIQ automates the math you're currently doing in Excel — and adds the variance tracking that Excel can't.
Enter tomorrow's forecasted units per process path (Inbound, Stow, Pick, Pack, Ship) and your available associate count after PTO, callouts, and light duty. Or paste from a WMS export.
DockPlanIQ calculates required headcount per path using your UPH benchmarks, then distributes your available labor by priority. It respects min/max caps and flags any paths that can't be fully staffed.
The tool identifies surplus and deficit paths, calculates optimal flex moves (e.g., Move 8 from Stow to Pack at 10:00 AM), and projects WIP runout times so you know when each buffer will hit critical.
Run your shift using the plan. If volume spikes or headcount drops, click a scenario button (+10% volume, -15 headcount) and the plan recalculates instantly with new flex recommendations.
Enter actual headcount per path. DockPlanIQ generates a variance summary with root cause analysis, recommended actions, and a leadership-ready report you can print or export to CSV.

High daily volume, complex path structures, and unforgiving shipping windows. DockPlanIQ turns your labor plan from a daily fire drill into a repeatable, trackable process.
Seasonal spikes, perishable SLAs, and compliance requirements make labor planning especially high-stakes. DockPlanIQ builds precision into a process that currently runs on experience and hope.
Too big for spreadsheets, too small for enterprise WFM
Manual labor planning
Purpose-built for mid-market
Enterprise workforce management
Most logistics software is built by engineers who've never stood on a warehouse floor at 5:45am wondering why Stow is already 8 heads short. DockPlanIQ is different. Every feature decision comes from real operational experience — what actually breaks, what data actually matters, and what a good morning plan actually looks like.
Business Administration graduate starting as L4 Area Manager at Amazon Aurora. Built DockPlanIQ after watching operations managers spend 45+ minutes daily building labor plans in Excel—and having zero visibility into what actually broke when the plan fell apart.
Mechanical Engineering Outstanding Graduate (3.8+ GPA). Spent four years studying process optimization and system design—then saw firsthand how warehouse managers were still building labor plans in Excel like it's 2005. Built DockPlanIQ to bring actual engineering rigor to warehouse labor planning.
We're onboarding a small group of warehouses to co-build the product. No commitment — just a conversation about your operation.
