ABOUT THIS EVENT

Customers, Carriers & Suppliers — On the Docks

Join the Mobiledock team for an egg and bacon breakfast roll at the Port of Melbourne, alongside customers, carriers and suppliers from across the network. Come for the food, stay for a candid chat about what makes freight scheduling easier — or harder — day to day.

For years, scheduling improvements have mostly focused on the customer side of the booking screen. This morning we widen the lens: getting freight in and out on time depends just as much on the carriers and suppliers living with our system every day as it does on the site running the calendar.

We want to hear directly from you.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This morning is for anyone whose day is shaped by a dock booking — because so much of what makes freight scheduling work (or not) is created upstream and downstream of the site itself.

That includes Mobiledock customers, transport carriers and their schedulers, suppliers, and anyone responsible for getting freight in and out on time. Drivers and site-level staff are just as welcome as the operations leaders who shape the booking rules.
