Features

Everything DockOps brings to port operations — from real-time dispatch and finance to member management and mobile access.

Connected Systems. Local Control.

Your Local Runs DockOps. Your Network Can Connect.

Choose how your Pension & Welfare office connects: the DockOps API, automated or manual reports, or DockOps: Pension & Welfare for the most complete, real-time integration. Keep your existing system connected or bring the office’s workflows into DockOps.

Your local keeps its dispatch, member profiles, payroll analysis, and administration in DockOps. Authorized offices can use the connected records they need, while each fund retains authority over its eligibility rules and benefit decisions.

Your Local Controls Access

Your local decides which offices and users can access its records, what they can see, and what they can export. An integration shares only the data your local authorizes.

DockOps API

DockOps has an API so your Pension & Welfare office can connect its existing system to approved member, hours, and contribution records. Real-time updates depend on the connected system’s supported interfaces.

Automated & Manual Reports

Use automated reports for recurring delivery or generate manual reports on demand. Export the approved records your office needs for contribution review, reconciliation, and follow-up.

DockOps: Pension & Welfare

For the most complete, real-time integration, use the DockOps: Pension & Welfare module within the same platform. Bring approved member records, work hours, employer contributions, reconciliation, and reporting together without waiting for a separate report handoff.

Connections are configured around each organization’s systems, supported interfaces, and access approved by the local.

Port Flow — Dispatch & Operations

Real-time dispatch management, seniority-based staffing, automated timesheets, and check-in/check-off workflows.

Check-In / Check-Off

Flexible online and badge-based check-in with membership windows, authorized call-in override, casuals access control, and real-time notifications.

TV Display in Union Hall

Gang staffing levels displayed by seniority. Confirms member check-ins with real-time updates and highlights for header selection.

Board & Status Tracking

Submission status tracking (Submitted / Pending / Complete), last-submission override logic, and automatic seniority sorting.

Timesheet Automation

Auto-generated timesheets with header selection timers, overage queue management, callback list logic, and certification-based eligibility.

Finalization Workflow

Finalization pop-up display, text notifications, job-site validation via badge scan, and timesheet auto-fill.

Fallback & Enforcement

Auto-submit for missed deadlines, dispatcher edits and approvals, timekeeper notifications, no-show punishment toggle, and membership status enforcement.

Gang Management

Configure gangs with headers, subheaders, and admin roles. Assign members from the board with role-based permissions and certification requirements.

Work Order Management

Create, view, and manage work orders with pre-filled fields, templates, and integrated location mapping.

Call-Back List

Maintained in seniority order so members know their place before leaving home. Dispatchers work the same list, replacements are drawn from it, and an alternative can be recorded when the list is exhausted.

Check-In on Behalf

Access-controlled check-in for members who cannot check themselves in, such as an authorized call-in. Only the roles a local grants it to can use it, and the action is recorded.

Vessels, Terminals & Stevedores

Records for ships, terminals, and stevedoring companies, with vessel assignments tying each work order to the job it belongs to so timesheets and payroll trace back to the right berth.

Real-Time Dashboard

Live check-in/check-off visibility, work order status, and operational metrics with drill-down into gang and member detail.

Certification-Based Access Control

Restrict check-in for gangs requiring specific certifications. Members without valid, active credentials are automatically blocked.

Shape-Up to Finalized Time

Members check in from the dock, roles fill by seniority and certification, and the day's activity becomes a review-ready timesheet — without a paper log in sight.

Ledger — Payroll Analysis & Employer Accountability

Identify money shipping companies, cruise lines, and stevedores owe members, unions, and the Pension & Welfare office. Reconcile payments and document shortfalls.

Vacation & Holiday Fund Support

Support Vacation & Holiday Fund offices with hours, employer contribution records, and reporting through direct APIs, automated or manual exports, or DockOps modules, with access approved by the local.

DockOps: Pension & Welfare

Identify missing or incomplete employer contributions using work records and applicable obligations. DockOps has an API and automated or manual reports for existing office systems; the DockOps: Pension & Welfare module provides the most complete, real-time integration.

Shipping, Cruise & Stevedore Accountability

Connect payroll and remittance shortfalls to the company responsible for payment. Give union leadership supporting records for collection follow-up.

Payroll Analysis & Reconciliation

Compare employer payroll with dispatch and timesheet records to identify unpaid wages and shortfalls in payments owed to members, locals, and the ILA.

Employer Dues Remittances

Reconcile dues withheld through payroll against amounts employers remit to the local. Keep payment history and collection follow-up tied to the employer responsible.

Strike Fund Management

Manage strike fund contributions, balances, and disbursements with full transparency and reporting for leadership.

Union Financial Visibility

Identify the employer responsible, the union or benefit office owed, and the outstanding amount, with records your local can use to pursue payment.

Timekeeper Download

A download built for the timekeeper workflow, kept separate from the end-of-day record so the two do not interfere. The timesheet export stays complete after the board clears.

Record Exports

Exports covering timesheets, member profiles, and certifications with column selection. Download rights are permissioned separately from viewing, so reading a record does not imply bulk export.

Audit-Ready Reporting

Generate financial reports formatted for audit review with complete transaction history and supporting documentation.

Ledger, Running

Find the Money Owed to Your Local

Seafarer — Records & Certifications

One secure record per member — hours, certifications, history, and status — accessible in real time across web and mobile.

Unified Member Records

Personal, contact, and emergency info centralized with employment details, status tracking, and complete work history.

Certification Management

Track certifications (forklift, tug, pallet jack) with expiration dates, renewal reminders, and automatic expiry flagging.

Document Management

Upload, store, and manage member documents with configurable types, expiration tracking, and searchable archives.

Document Approval Queue

Uploaded documents go to administrators for review rather than straight onto the record. Profiles show approved documents only, while pending and rejected submissions are retained for history.

Information Change Requests

Members submit corrections to their own record for administrator approval. The local stays in control of what its records say, and both the request and its outcome are recorded.

Bulk Profile Editing

An inline grid for updating fields such as years and hours across many members at once, with a preview of the change before it is applied and bulk status changes written to the audit log.

Seniority Assignment & Reassignment

Seniority can be assigned and restructured as a controlled action, so corrections are made inside the system and recorded rather than tracked in a spreadsheet.

Expiring Certification & Onboarding Reports

Reports surfacing members whose certifications have expired and members with incomplete onboarding, so administrators can act before someone is blocked at the hall.

Shift Pre-Registration

Members can pre-register for upcoming shifts, view available assignments, and streamline the check-in process.

Work History & Hours

View real-time logged hours, resolve discrepancies directly, and access assignment history across all gangs with exportable reports.

Disciplinary & Training Access

View and manage disciplinary warnings, access news, events, and training materials, and track onboarding progress.

Certification Abbreviations on Flow Board

Display certification abbreviations next to member names on the flow board and gang pages for quick reference during assignments.

Biometric Authentication

Secure biometric login support for fast, passwordless access on supported devices.

One Living Record Per Member
