In freight forwarding, every minute matters. Yet many teams still operate with delayed or incomplete shipment information, leaving them scrambling when schedules change or exceptions occur. The result? Missed delivery windows, unprepared arrival teams, and frustrated customers.
It doesn’t have to be this way. With Supply GPT an AI-powered supply chain visibility tool, powered through the Supply Hoop mobile app, you get real-time updates on tracking, exceptions, ETD (Estimated Time of Departure), ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), ATA (Actual Time of Arrival), and ATD (Actual Time of Departure), so you’re never left guessing.
The Challenge: Information Lags That Hurt Operations
Even the most experienced freight forwarders can run into obstacles when shipment updates are slow or incomplete. It’s common for:
- Dispatch teams to know a shipment has left, but not its exact departure time.
- Operations to determine if a shipment has cleared customs.
- Finance to wait days for confirmed arrival before invoicing.
This information lag leads to wasted time, unnecessary follow-ups, and costly decision-making delays. Teams need updates that are not just real-time, but context-rich.
Why Supply GPT Delivers Smarter Insights?
Supply Hoop’s Supply GPT changes the game by delivering AI-powered, role-specific shipment updates directly to your mobile device. Instead of static tracking data, you get actionable insights that tell you:
Current Status — where the shipment is right now.
Next Step — what’s coming up in the logistics chain?
ETA & ETD — accurate, AI-calculated timelines based on live conditions.
ATA & ATD — confirmed timestamps for actual departures and arrivals.
Exceptions — immediate alerts for any delays, route changes, or clearance issues.
The intelligence of Supply GPT means you’re not just tracking movement, you’re anticipating it.
How Does It Work in Real Scenarios?
Dispatch Stage
Once a shipment departs, Supply GPT records the ATD and shares the ETD with the next location. Operations teams and customers receive an instant notification, reducing calls and emails.
En Route
If there’s a delay, weather disruption, or customs exception, the AI system sends an alert with details and recommendations, so your team can take corrective action immediately.
Arrival and Delivery
When the shipment reaches its destination, ATA is confirmed in the system. The arrival team is ready, and finance teams can initiate invoicing without delay.
Linked Data for Accuracy
All updates are synced to your CargoWise system, ensuring no mismatch between mobile notifications and your operational records.
Who Benefits from AI-Driven Shipment Insights?
If you manage complex freight operations, these updates are invaluable for:
Operations teams — plan resources based on accurate ETAs.
Customer service — respond instantly to client inquiries with verified data.
Finance teams — invoice promptly after confirmed arrivals.
Clients — get transparent, real-time visibility without logging into multiple systems.
When everyone sees the same data, collaboration improves, and customer trust grows.
