  • Time Functions in Mobile: Service techs can now be empowered on the go. Available on both the Android and iOS platforms, DockMaster Mobile offers a mobile time clock, time card, and scheduler to track the actual amount of time spent on a job. Avoid the potential errors that come with paper time sheets.

  • Point of Sale: DockMaster’s Point of Sale module is a touch-screen-enabled product designed to be customized at every level. Interfacing with the inventory module, our POS software updates your master inventory assuring that the quantities on hand are always correct. Creating special orders for your customers directly from within POS is quick and easy, along with many more available components to assist with your day-to-day operations.
