Think about the last time you were waiting for a shipment update. Maybe it was a container stuck at customs, or a truck delayed at the border. How many calls did you make? How many emails did you send? And when the update finally arrived, was it accurate or already outdated?
In freight forwarding and supply chain management, visibility is power. Without it, teams spend more time chasing information than moving cargo. With it, operations become smoother, decisions happen faster, and customers stay happy. That’s where Freight status, available through the Supply Hoop’s mobile app, comes in. It gives freight forwarders and their customers real-time shipment insights, from departure and arrival updates to exceptions, ETD, ETA, ATA, and ATD, all in one place.
What Makes Freight Status Different?
Unlike traditional tracking portals that are slow, siloed, and often outdated, shipment status was built for the pace of modern freight forwarding. It delivers live data directly to your phone, eliminating the need to log into multiple systems or chase updates manually.
Key differentiators include:
Mobile-first access — updates delivered right to your phone.
Powered by Supply GPT — intelligent alerts, not just raw data.
Linked to CargoWise — ensuring accuracy and integration with your existing workflows.
Exception management — alerts highlight problems before they escalate.
Shipment Tracking Without the Guesswork
Freight status provides continuous shipment monitoring so you always know where your cargo is and when it will arrive. Departure and arrival times, both estimated and actual, are updated automatically.
With Freight status, you can:
- Track cargo across ports, carriers, and customs checkpoints.
- Access live ETD, ETA, ATA, and ATD updates in real time.
- Share shipment progress instantly with customers and team members.
Instead of relying on manual checks or endless phone calls, the system keeps you informed at every step.
Exception Alerts That Improve Collaboration
Visibility isn’t just about knowing where freight is, it’s about knowing when something goes wrong. With Freight status, exceptions such as customs delays, missed departures, or unexpected route changes are flagged immediately.
These alerts:
- Include context on the delay or issue.
- Recommend next steps so teams can act quickly.
- Reach the right people instantly, dispatch, operations, finance, or customer service.
- This means fewer delays, fewer disputes, and faster collaboration across teams.
From Arrival to Invoicing Faster and More Accurately
Once a shipment arrives at its destination, Freight status records the ATA and automatically links proof of delivery to the job file. This allows finance teams to move forward with invoicing immediately.
Benefits include:
- Accelerated cash flow — invoices go out faster.
- Fewer disputes — POD documents are linked to job records.
- Seamless accuracy — finance, operations, and clients all see the same information.
