Undock is a technology company.
Undock provides an intelligent platform designed to streamline meeting scheduling and coordination. Its core offering leverages artificial intelligence to suggest optimal meeting times, operating like an autocomplete function within existing workflows. The system integrates deeply with various productivity tools, including major email clients and communication platforms, enabling users to schedule meetings directly from their browser or mobile keyboard. This approach offers users precise control over their calendar, allowing for the setting of personal preferences, daily limits, and the management of multiple distinct schedules.
The company was co-founded in 2017 by Nash Lukman Ahmed and David A. Their foundational insight stemmed from the pervasive inefficiencies and friction involved in coordinating meeting times across multiple participants and varying availability. This challenge led to the development of a solution that not only identifies open slots but also learns user behavior to proactively suggest times that align with individual preferences and overall scheduling patterns, reducing the manual effort typically associated with booking appointments.
Undock serves professionals and teams seeking to optimize their time management and reduce scheduling overhead. The platform aims to empower users with greater autonomy over their calendars, moving towards a future where scheduling is intuitive and context-aware. Its long-term vision involves evolving beyond simple scheduling to create a comprehensive "calendar of the future," incorporating advanced features such as customizable rules, collaborative agendas, and integrated conferencing to offer an unmatched, holistic calendar experience.

Undock (also referred to as Undocked) is a boutique technology company specializing in omnichannel fulfillment optimization and customer engagement platforms for retailers. It builds the Uplift suite, including Uplift Optimization for omni-commerce growth, Uplift Automation powered by AI for precise workflow automation, and services like slotting, labor management, EDI data transformation, and waveless fulfillments.[1][2][3] Headquartered in Cumming, Georgia (with mentions of Atlanta), the company serves retailers navigating complex supply chains, solving problems like legacy system inefficiencies, fulfillment vulnerabilities exposed by events like COVID-19, and the need for scalable omnichannel experiences without full overhauls.[1][2][4] With 51-200 employees and revenue under $5 million, it partners with systems like Deposco, Manhattan WMS/OMS, Korber, and KNAPP, offering end-to-end engineering, modernization, strategy advisory, managed support, and testing to enable millions of daily shipments.[1][2][3][4]
Undock was founded in January 2020, just days before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains, highlighting vulnerabilities in retail and ecommerce transformations already underway.[1] The founding team, drawing from over 200 years of combined experience in retail and supply chain product strategy, technology, and operations, recognized an opportunity to help organizations succeed in omnichannel and digital journeys amid these challenges.[1][2][3] Headquartered in Cumming, Georgia, the company emerged from this expertise to offer optimization products, consulting, and engineering services, quickly launching solutions like the Uplift suite and forming partnerships such as with Deposco for WMS/OMS modernization.[1][2][4] Early traction focused on bespoke implementations and innovations addressing pandemic-era pressures, positioning it as a reliable partner for sustainable digital transformations.[1][3]
Undock rides the omnichannel retail transformation wave, accelerated by ecommerce surges post-COVID, where retailers demand seamless fulfillment across online, in-store, and hybrid models amid labor shortages and supply chain volatility.[1][2] Its timing is ideal, addressing legacy system modernizations without rip-and-replace costs, aligning with market forces like rising omni-commerce volumes (e.g., enabling million-unit daily shipments) and AI-driven automation needs.[1][3] By partnering with leading WMS/OMS providers, it influences the ecosystem through enhanced interoperability, operational resilience, and efficiency—empowering mid-market retailers to compete with giants in a $1T+ global supply chain tech market increasingly favoring modular, AI-optimized tools.[2][4]
Undock is poised for expansion by capitalizing on AI automation and omni-fulfillment demands, potentially scaling via deeper integrations with cloud-native WMS and enterprise partnerships. Trends like generative AI for predictive slotting, sustainable supply chains, and real-time EDI will shape its trajectory, evolving its boutique model toward broader SaaS offerings or acquisitions. As retailers prioritize resilience, Undock's pandemic-forged expertise positions it to amplify its role in delivering superior customer experiences from origin to orbit.
Undock has raised $3.6M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $1.6M Seed in November 2020.
