Consignments and partners — operating within the Logistics operational architecture, with capabilities, data fields, and workflows configured for how a freight forwarding actually manages its day-to-day operations.
A freight forwarding business operates at the junction of international trade compliance, logistics co-ordination and client service. Every consignment moves through multiple parties — shipper, freight agent, customs broker, port authority, inland carrier — and your job is to keep the cargo moving and the client informed through every handoff, across time zones and documentation requirements.
Operations staff are tracking multiple shipments simultaneously at different stages of the freight lifecycle — some waiting for customs release, some in transit, some pending documentation from the shipper. Status updates arrive by email from carriers and agents in different time zones. When a client calls for a status, the freight coordinator searches through email threads to find the most recent update. Billing for disbursements and agency fees is compiled at shipment close from a collection of invoices and receipts.
Starts from the Logistics core — shared capabilities, terminology and workflows — then configures precisely for freight forwarding: specific data fields, approval steps and operational reports. You define your actual workflows and the system structures itself around your freight forwarding operation, evolving as the business grows.
These are the capabilities configured for this template. Start with them, then adjust to your process — nothing invented, only what a freight forwarding actually uses.
