How This Workflow Works

This workflow tracks the progress of container shipments between ports by processing logistics data, assigning status updates, and presenting shipment progress in an interactive visual dashboard. It enables users to monitor each shipment’s journey and quickly identify bottlenecks or delays.

Key Features:

  • Track shipment status across multiple stages in the supply chain
  • Identify missing or delayed shipment events
  • Visualize shipment progress in an interactive dashboard
  • Customize the display and color-coding for clear status communication

Step-by-step:

1. Assign Shipment Statuses:

The workflow processes logistics data to determine the current status of each shipment. It checks for missing dates and marks shipments as incomplete or delayed when key events are missing, ensuring that each container’s journey is accurately represented.

2. Integrate and Align Tracking Information:

Shipment records are matched with tracking status definitions to align each container’s progress with standardized checkpoints. This step ensures consistency in how shipment stages are tracked and reported, making it easier to compare and analyze progress across different shipments.

3. Automate Progress Evaluation:

The workflow applies rule-based logic to evaluate the completeness of each shipment’s journey. It flags records where progress is interrupted, or steps are missing, allowing users to focus on containers that require attention or intervention.

4. Visualize and Share Insights:

A Data App presents the progress of each shipment using a visual tracker. Users can customize the appearance, filter by shipment or status, and quickly identify where delays or issues occur, supporting timely decision-making and communication.
