Shipment Stage

What is Stage?

Stage represents which step shipment is at in transport process.

Common stage examples:

  1. Booking - Booking space with shipping line/airline

  2. Documentation - Preparing documents

  3. Customs Clearance - Clearing customs

  4. In Transit - In transport

  5. At Destination - Arrived at destination port

  6. Delivery - Delivering cargo

  7. Completed - Completed

  • Assign tasks: Each stage handled by different department

  • Report KPIs: Measure time of each stage, find bottlenecks
