Why Your Teams Need to Stop Operating in Silos? In freight forwarding, every stage of movement, from dispatch to arrival to invoicing, needs to happen with precision. But too often, the teams responsible for each step operate in silos. Dispatch sends the shipment, arrival teams receive it, and finance issues the invoice, sometimes without talking to one another. That’s when errors creep in. Deliveries get missed, invoices go out too soon, and customer updates fall through the cracks.
Now, imagine a system that connects all these stages automatically. A supply chain visibility platform that notifies the right people, in real-time, when a shipment moves from one step to the next. With Supply Hoop, that’s exactly what you get, thanks to smart shipment alerts powered by AI and Supply GPT, all delivered through a mobile app.
What Goes Wrong Without Real-Time Alerts?
Let’s take a closer look at how disjointed workflows cause friction:
Your dispatch team sends out a container, but arrival teams aren’t updated in real time. When it reaches the destination, no one is ready to receive it. Meanwhile, the finance team, unaware of the delivery status, goes ahead and generates an invoice. Later, your client disputes the invoice because the shipment wasn’t marked as received.
Sound familiar? These are common, but avoidable, breakdowns in logistics collaboration. They happen when teams rely on email chains, spreadsheets, or outdated systems that don’t sync information across departments.
What’s missing is a system that alerts everyone at the right time, keeping all stakeholders aligned from shipment to payment.
Why Supply Hoop Alerts are Different and Smarter?
Supply Hoop’s smart shipment alerts are more than just push notifications. They’re intelligent, role-specific updates that provide meaningful data, triggered automatically at each milestone.
Here’s how they’re different:
- Real-time and mobile-first: Alerts come through your phone as events happen, so you never miss a critical update.
- Powered by Supply GPT: Our AI engine predicts delays, flags unusual activity, and recommends the next steps based on historical shipment data.
- Tailored by role: Dispatch gets departure alerts, warehouse teams get arrival confirmations, and finance gets notified when an invoice is due, with context.
It’s a smarter way to keep your entire operation in sync, without the back-and-forth.
What Smart Alerts Look Like in Action?
When a Shipment is Dispatched
