Shipment Lifecycle Visibility

See the full shipment lifecycle from plan to completion.

Fidelis helps teams connect shipment planning, dock appointments, EDI updates, carrier communication, gate activity, yard movement, dock milestones, and final completion into one operational lifecycle.

The Problem

Most teams only see fragments of the shipment lifecycle.

Shipment execution does not happen in one system. Planning may start in a spreadsheet or TMS, appointments may live in dock scheduling, arrival events may come from EDI, yard progress may come from facility activity, and carrier updates may arrive through email or phone calls.

  • Planning, scheduling, tracking, and facility execution are disconnected.
  • Teams cannot easily see which lifecycle milestone is missing.
  • Multiple sources may disagree on what happened and when.
  • Manual follow-up hides repeat failure points.
  • Leadership sees reports after the operation has already moved on.

How Fidelis Helps

One lifecycle view built from real execution events.

Fidelis brings shipment activity together across planning, appointments, carrier updates, facility milestones, EDI/API signals, and manual corrections so teams can understand where the shipment is, what happened, and what still needs action.

Planning Events

Start the lifecycle with shipment creation, import data, routing context, planned dates, and required references.

Appointment Events

Connect pickup and delivery appointments to the shipment lifecycle before coverage gaps become service risk.

EDI & API Events

Use EDI 204, 990, 214, API updates, and other integration events as part of the execution timeline.

Carrier Communication

Capture carrier updates from emails, SMS, check calls, dispatcher replies, or manual transportation notes.

Facility Events

Connect check-in, gate-in, dock-in, dock-out, gate-out, trailer movement, and completion activity.

Lifecycle Exceptions

Surface missing milestones, conflicting sources, late events, incomplete coverage, and manual intervention points.

Workflow

From planned shipment to completed execution.

01

Create lifecycle record

Start with shipment data, planned pickup and delivery, origin, destination, carrier, BOL, and routing context.

02

Connect milestone events

Attach appointment, EDI, API, dock, yard, carrier, SMS, email, and manual updates to the shipment timeline.

03

Validate lifecycle progress

Compare expected milestones against actual events to find gaps, delays, conflicts, or missing updates.

04

Complete and review

Close the shipment lifecycle with final delivery, gate-out, completion notes, exceptions, and performance history.

Operational Impact

Lifecycle metrics that reveal where execution breaks.

Lifecycle Coverage Shipments with required milestones captured from plan through completion
Missing Milestones Expected lifecycle events that have not been captured or confirmed
Conflicting Sources Shipment events that disagree across carrier, facility, EDI, or manual updates
Exception Rate Loads requiring manual review, follow-up, override, or operational correction
