Problem

Warehouses and distribution facilities often run shipping and receiving through spreadsheets, phone calls, email, paper logs, and disconnected systems. That creates manual scheduling work, poor visibility into dock and yard activity, driver wait times, and avoidable coordination errors. Conduit quantifies the operational pain as roughly 20 minutes saved per shipment through online dock scheduling, while automated check-in can relieve clerks from hours of repetitive work.

The core use case is coordinating high-volume inbound and outbound freight: booking dock appointments, getting the right trucks to the right doors at the right times, checking drivers in and out, and tracking trailers and other assets in the yard. For operators, the economic value is lower administrative labor, faster truck turns, fewer delays, and better accountability across facilities; for carriers and drivers, it means less waiting and simpler communication with the warehouse.

Product / Service

Conduit is a cloud-based dock and yard management platform positioned as an operating system for shipping and receiving. Its modules cover online dock scheduling, automated driver check-in, yard visibility, real-time updates, reporting, and the storage of bills of lading, photos, and other documents. Carriers can book appointments through a customer-specific site and use the system at no cost, while warehouse teams apply scheduling rules, monitor activity, and communicate with drivers digitally.

The platform can be adopted module by module or as an all-in-one system, with pay-as-you-grow pricing and APIs that connect to WMS, TMS, YMS, ERP, EDI, and other warehouse software. By consolidating appointment, dock, yard, and document data, Conduit gives operators network-wide visibility and actionable operating metrics while reducing manual work and improving the speed and predictability of warehouse throughput.

Market

Conduit competes in logistics and supply-chain execution software, specifically dock scheduling, yard management, and shipping-and-receiving operations. Its alternatives include dedicated dock-scheduling products such as Opendock, as well as broader yard-management and logistics platforms such as project44 and GoRamp. The company differentiates around an integrated workflow spanning appointment scheduling, driver check-in, yard visibility, analytics, and facility-wide operations rather than a standalone scheduling calendar.

Conduit is not pre-revenue: the company says it has more than 100 customers, 172% net revenue retention, and zero churn. It is backed by Innovation Endeavors and Y Combinator and has closed a $6 million seed round; its website also displays 4.7-star G2 and 4.8-star Capterra ratings. These figures indicate early but meaningful commercial traction, although the available evidence does not disclose revenue, pricing, or the precise customer mix.
