How it works
Problem found - fixed - Can leave.
Crew runs a 60-second check on the phone. You see what's broken and assign the fix. The van flips green before the wheels move.
- Mop kitReady
- Floor toolReady
- Backpack vacuumProblem
- Keys / accessReady
60 seconds, on the crew's phone. They mark ready or flag a problem. The van flips to Blocked the moment something's off.
A name and a fix-by time, not a 'somebody handle it.' The record stays attached to the van for client conversations later.
- Van 1 NorthCan leave
- Van 2 DowntownCan leave
- Van 3 MedicalFollow-up
- Van 4 Floor-careCan leave
The proof - who fixed it, when, with what note - stays tied to the van history. No 'did anyone actually do that?' at 4pm.
Questions you're probably asking
Plain answers.
These answers describe the product as it works today, including what it does not do.
Ask us anything - [email protected]Will my crew actually use another app?
The crew check is 60 seconds on the phone they already have. No accounts to manage for every cleaner - most teams only put the owner, supervisors, and crew leads on it. Cleaners can run a check from a shared device.
How is this different from a paper checklist or WhatsApp?
Paper and WhatsApp don't produce an answer. You still have to read 40 messages and decide. DockBeacon takes the check and turns it into one screen: which vans can leave, who owns each fix, what changed. That's the whole product.
What if I only have 2 or 3 vans?
That's exactly who we built it for. The plan starts at $39/mo for up to 3 vans, 5 users. If the board doesn't make your morning easier in week one, cancel - no card was needed to start.
Am I locked in?
No. 7-day free trial, no credit card. Monthly plans, cancel anytime. We don't hostage your data - operations history exports are part of the product.
Is this GPS tracking or employee monitoring?
No. No GPS, no location, no surveillance. The product is a morning readiness board. We don't want to be a command center and crews don't respond to being one.
What does it not do?
No routing, GPS, payroll, invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, or inventory accounting. Just daily van readiness, equipment, supply restock status, blockers, and reminders. On purpose.
Run the morning that costs you a day.
Mark a backpack vacuum missing. Assign the fix. Watch Van 2 flip from blocked to can leave - on the phone you're reading this on.
Starter $39/mo - up to 3 vans, 5 users
Growth $89/mo - up to 10 vans, 20 users
7-day trial - no credit card. Cancel anytime.
