Door-to-door shipping becomes easier to manage when each stage has a clear milestone, owner, and expected date.

Track origin milestones

• Record cargo-ready date, pickup, booking, documentation, export customs, and port cut-offs.
• Assign responsibility for final cargo data and document approval.

Track ocean and arrival milestones

• Update actual departure, transshipment, and estimated arrival as schedules change.
• Prepare import customs and pickup requirements before cargo is available.

Track final delivery

• Monitor warehouse transfer, truck dispatch, appointment, delivery, and proof of receipt.
• Record actual lead time and exceptions after completion for future improvement.
