Why Do Logistics Teams Choose Centralized Shipment Systems?
Managing shipments using spreadsheets, email threads, and manual coordination slows everything down.
The client’s internal team was handling shipment booking, clearance, forwarding, billing, roles, documents, and tracking using Google Drive + Excel.
It is a centralized Shipment Management System to manage everything in one place. It works as a complete freight management system with:
- Real-time shipment status tracking.
- Role-based permission control.
- Secure document attachments.
- Activity logs & approval workflows.
A cloud-based logistics management platform provides complete control and visibility over its cargo, operations, and communication.
How Does It Simplify the Shipment Management Process?
Traditional workflows cannot keep up with the speed of logistics. Shipment Management System improves operational efficiency by providing:
- Centralized Data Control: Every shipment record is stored in one dashboard with hundreds of data fields.
- Real-Time Shipment Tracking: Live updates across forwarding, clearance, dispatch, and delivery.
- Simple Data Management: Sort, filter, and edit shipment data instantly without manual spreadsheets.
- Automated Reporting & Alerts: Scheduled Excel exports and email summaries every midnight.
- Cross-Department Collaboration: Accounts, Operations, Forwarding, Billing, and Management access consistent shared data.
It is not just a shipment tracking software, but it’s an all-in-one freight forwarding & logistics workflow system.
