Loading dock assignment with Peakboard

The visualization is loaded onto the Peakboard Box, and the docks and trucks are managed through the web interface. No database of your own is required – all the data sits on the Box.

How do I assign a truck to a loading dock?

Via the Peakboard web interface, you enter which truck is expected at which dock and at what time. All data is stored directly on the Peakboard Box.

What happens with more than seven docks?

The view switches automatically to the next page, so even larger numbers of loading docks are displayed clearly.

Do I need an external database for this template?

No. Assignments are maintained directly via the Peakboard web interface on the Box, with no external data source needed.

Can I customize the display myself, without IT?

Yes. Peakboard is a low-code platform: you change docks, layout, and display logic by drag-and-drop in the Peakboard Designer.

Does the display run on-premises or in the cloud?

Peakboard runs entirely on-premises on your own network – assignment data never leaves your company. There's no cloud requirement, no single point of failure, and you keep full control over your infrastructure.
