Send a link. Vendors self-book. They get an SMS with a QR pass.
Watch the same vendor journey as the interactive demo — auto-playing on the left. Start your tenant on the right. When a driver replies LATE 15, the slot bumps and the coordinator is notified.

Launch your loading dock calendar
Join the waitlist for early access. After launch you can provision your site, pin your dock, and share vendor booking links — self-serve.
Built for venue ops and tour load-ins
Gate Booker is for event coordinators who need quiet docks — not invented customer logos.
How it works
Built for production managers, festival directors, and arena dock masters — from one dispatch link to a verified arrival at a temporary gate.
- Step 1
Map your staging zone
Drop a pin on your venue map and draw the temporary staging area — one capacity calendar for every independent vendor.
- Step 2
Send one scheduling link
Share a single link with caterers, AV, staging, and every independent vendor. No spreadsheets, no group texts.
- Step 3
Vendors claim on the web
Drivers open the link, pick a slot, enter their plate — no app download, no account. With SMS consent, confirmation and QR arrive by text.
- Step 4
Check in at the gate
Vendors tap I’m here for a one-shot zone check, then supervisors scan QR at the gate.
Quiet docks for event coordinators. Zero apps for vendors.
Drivers book on a web link. Optional SMS when enabled. Gate supervisors scan QR at the dock.
Mapped temporary staging
Pin the freight entrance and draw the staging zone so trucks hit the right perimeter — not the fan line or a fixed warehouse bay.
Tap I’m here when you arrive
Vendors confirm arrival with a one-time location check on the manage link — we verify they’re in your staging zone, without background tracking.
Reschedule via web link
Need a different window? Vendors change their slot from the same link — if capacity allows.
Running late? Reply or tap
Drivers mark late from the manage link, or by texting LATE when SMS is enabled. Coordinators see updates on the dock schedule.

Not another warehouse ERP
Why legacy dock tools fail temporary staging
Enterprise dock suites, warehouse calendars, and field ops apps were built for permanent yards — not independent vendors at one temporary gate. See the full side-by-side on a dedicated page (mobile-friendly cards, not a wide table).
Built for link-driven docks — not another vendor portal
Instant booking for temporary gates: one dispatch link, SMS-claimed slots, QR at check-in. Built for festivals, arenas, and touring load-ins.
