“I have been dealing with Northern Dock for 20-plus years. I wouldn’t think of using any other dock door company. Best Service all around.”
Lee Rollo, Spaenaur Inc.“The two technicians that came in were very helpful and had a great attitude while fixing our two most pressing issues. After they fixed the first door, I could tell they were tired but they stuck around to help us with another dock door and were able to fix it as well.”
Katie Campagnolo, Supply Chain Operations Associate Supervisor, Pepsi“I would like to the NDS team for taking care of our service shop door issue. The door into the service shop wouldn’t close flush with the ground and would not close on its own without holding the button down. We greatly appreciate the level of service we have received from the team at NDS, and thanks to them we now have a fully operational shop door ready for the busy weekend rush.”
Andrew Ryder, Parts Manager, Bolton Toyota“I wanted to express my gratitude for your very prompt and professional assistance in repairing and servicing our broken overhead garage door. Your ability to provide immediate solutions to our needs went above and beyond expectations. I thank you and look forward to a long relationship together.”
Frank D’Onofrio, Tower Operator, Mercedes-Benz Etobicoke“On behalf of the team at Policaro BMW and the Policaro Group, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for your quick response and action with respect to the damaged overhead door in the Service Department at our BMW facility. In addition to the repairs, you were also able to pinpoint the cause of why this happened, with respect to the proper operation of the door controls. Your instruction to myself and some of the team members at BMW was invaluable in highlighting to us the dos and don’ts of the proper operation of the door controls…hopefully we’ve all gained some knowledge from this and learned a lesson.”
Joe Martino, Manager, Facilities & Construction, Policaro BMW & Policaro Group“I find your Service department very easy to deal with, never an issue booking an appointment and the service people arrive quickly. Your Techs are great at answering my questions about what mechanical problems they find which is nice because I just like knowing what they found out of my own curiosity. They also do very clean work, which in the past with other companies, it looks like a mess when they leave. Overall, you guys do good work making sure our equipment is operational and safe.”
Darren Butson, Service Technician, F. K. Machinery Ltd.“Placing the service call was easy. Prompt and efficient service received.”
Dave Walbourne, Operations Manager, DB Schenker“The Service department was quick to resolve our issues and the staff was fantastic.”
Chris Maxwell, Maintenance Manager, Jervis B. Webb Company Of Canada Ltd.“Your tech’s attitude, flexibility and skills are high and happy to work with you guys.”
Shan Shanivar, Maintenance Manager, Villa Di Manno Bakery“Thank you for dispatching a repairman on a short notice. You wrote the book on good customer service. Much appreciated.”
Danny Jamal, General Manager, Ken Shaw Lexus and Ken Shaw Toyota“Thank you guys! Your tech did a great job and we appreciate him moving things around so that we only had 1 door down while he waited for parts.”
Chris Brereton, Logistics Manager, Ryder“I would like to extend my utmost appreciation to Robbie & Tom for their continuous support, follow up with door issues, I am impressed with their attention to detail, professionalism, and great knowledge and shared communication on fixing and preventative maintenance on our overhead and man doors.
I would like to extend my appreciation as well to my office contact there……..Shannon, she has been the absolute best to deal with on the phone and expedites my work orders as well as answers all my questions with just 1 phone call.
I am so glad we found your company to deal with it has been the best experience thus far.”
What Gets Measured Gets Done
Northern Dock Systems tracks key performance indicators (KPIs) during the entire process, from the time your phone call is picked up, to the time it takes the technician to reach your location, to completion times and to the time it takes our finance department to issue your invoice. We strongly believe what gets measured gets done more efficiently and quickly, which decreases our customers’ downtime and increases their productivity.
Response Times
We have optimized and implemented our dispatch systems (live updates, GPS tracking and technician schedules) to ensure that our response times are fast and accurate to give you the ease and comfort of knowing that someone is on their way to fix the issue.
First-Time Fixes
Our team of experienced technicians are equipped with the right knowledge, fully-stocked trucks, tools and support to make sure that the job is done speedily, properly and without unnecessary expenses on the first visit.
Completion and Part Times
We believe that strong communication is key to any project. If your project requires a second visit or needs an uncommon part, we will track how long it takes to get the part in and for us to complete the project, while keeping you in the loop on the status.
